This year, we are building on the analysis we did for the <a href=\"http:\/\/droneanalyst.com\/research\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2017 Five Valuable Business Lessons Learned<\/a> papers by providing guidance and industry-specific resources that will help you kick-start your practice. Our goal is to help drone-based service providers and business users maximize the value that drones can bring to operational groups.<\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s in it?<\/h3>\n<p>This report consolidates our best insights into the challenges and solutions drones add to the worksite. We show how drones as a unified data collection device are bridging the gap between the Architectural, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) silos. We answer questions like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How big is the construction drone market, and who are the major solution providers?<\/li>\n<li>How are drones used in the AEC industry, and what are the challenges?<\/li>\n<li>What do you need to know about regulations, pilot certification, insurance, and training?<\/li>\n<li>What are the best practices for adopting drones into workflows?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here is an excerpt from the lessons learned \/ cautionary tales section:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201c<strong>Be clear about customer value<\/strong> \u2013 When drone business service providers talk publicly about the differentiation of drones, you\u2019ll often hear them say: \u201cIt\u2019s all about the data.\u201d But one of the lessons learned from the early adopters of drones in construction is that it <em>isn\u2019t<\/em> just about the data. It\u2019s about getting good information that provides value for the construction or architectural firm. So whether teams are collaborating around one daily map for a construction site as \u201cthe single source of truth,\u201d or providing floor-by-floor visualization views for a future building site, the ultimate goal is to provide valuable information for downstream customers\u2014and drones alone cannot do that. What drones <em>can<\/em> do is offer a much quicker way of capturing different types of data, digitizing it, and making it something you can analyze immediately or over time to support construction variance analysis.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>What resources does it provide?<\/h3>\n<p>The 10-page report provides a SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) for evaluating and designing your drone program and comes with an appendix that includes links to valuable online resources such as attorneys, advocacy groups, training &amp; certification, and waivers &amp; authorizations.<\/p>\n<p>I believe this is the perfect time to get your start using drones in the construction industry like hundreds of firms worldwide have done.
