Abstract
Technology plays a pivotal role in shaping construction industry. Adoption of new trends, tools, software and technology would motivate to minimize problems that arise during use of drones in construction. The paper not only elaborates previous reviews on Drone Technology (DT) in Construction Industry (CI), but also explores extensive literature review on (i) classification of drones, construction software used with drone, (iii) overview of utility of DT in construction and related industries (iv) recent construction technology trends, tools and techniques accomplish with drone technology. This is basically a review paper. The aim of this paper is to study the potential of DT in construction industry, extended it to understand the following issues in better way(i) benefits and impacts of drone in CI, (ii) record disadvantage of drone in CI(iii) integration of BIM with DT at substantial length and volume (iv)extensive description and enumeration on applications and uses of drones in CI(v) use of drone at each stage of construction stage to monitor the progress of construction rightly from the purchase of land to close out the project(vi)lastly appended a note on the impact of COVID-19 on construction. This study (2012-2021) also discusses challenges, opportunities, limitations, and strategies for the adoption of drones in construction. It assists to contractors, building planners, designers, academicians, engineers, and architects to improve the construction activities for greater efficiency and better performance. It also motivates towards inclusion of these technologies in the curriculum in Architecture Engineering
Highlights
The world is continuously deploying new technologies in Construction Industry (CI) for the speed, accuracy and safety in the construction projects
It is observed that a maximum number of articles appeared in literature, in last decade. [20] has briefly described the drone technology in AEC and provided guidance for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) operation and implementation in the CI.[4][21] have extensively conducted a systematic literature review on the current topic pertaining to implementation of Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) in the CI covering the most relevant job, cases, and areas of application [21]
The last few decades UAVs or Drones have become relevant in the Construction industry and Civil Engineering [14] [34].In this decade many authors have described the potential applications of in the Construction and Engineering [23].[34],[53],[54],[100],[120].The use of drones/UAVSs is included in the list of recent construction technology trends [55]
Summary
The world is continuously deploying new technologies in Construction Industry (CI) for the speed, accuracy and safety in the construction projects. The use of drones will be giving real-time progress on all parts of site and help contractors and other stakeholders to manage large number of sites by knowing proper data and taking necessary decision within less time, and [11] has accounted 6 technologies disrupting the property and real estate industry. This paper includes review of existing literature on use of drones in construction industry/construction management/civil engineering to understand working and application in better way. This is first of its kind for 2021 for DT in CI.
