Drone technology is making construction more efficient and cost-effective. They allow managers to survey job sites, track progress of projects on an ongoing basis while also saving time for planning purposes by providing real-time data that would have been previously impossible with traditional methods like driving around aimlessly looking at buildings or leaving guards in between waves where they’re not needed anymore because there is no more work being done nearby – all thanks to these flying robots!

 

In this episode, Maria Khokhlova, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer of TraceAir joins us to explain how drone technology has revolutionized the construction industry and the benefits of drones on communication, cost and making sure your work claim is indisputable.

I have been listening to the pod casts for a few months now, I can't get enough of all the awesome content that you guys provide. Especially when you guys deliver it from a trade perspective which helps out a lot. Keep up the good work and hopefully one day I can afford one of the trade training trips.
