Drones can provide many benefits for construction projects. They can be used to quickly create detailed 2D and 3D maps of sites using various sensors, which helps with preplanning, measurements, and identifying environmental elements. Drones also allow progress to be monitored at every stage from different angles, providing visuals for clients and ensuring safety and efficiency. Their images and videos can help with marketing materials as well. Drones are useful for maintenance by enabling periodic inspections of structures to detect deformations in places that are hard to access safely such as bridges, dams, and windmills. Their advantages include easy access, low costs, fast results, high resolution data, sensor options, up-to-date information, and increased safety
