How it works on your site
DroneDeploy is a cloud-based reality capture and inspection platform that combines drone mapping, 360 ground photography, ground robot integration, and AI-powered analysis for construction sites. It covers aerial survey and documentation, daily walkthrough capture, pre-pour QA via its Concrete Sleeve AI, safety hazard detection, and progress tracking with subcontractor claim verification; physical site capture, interpretation of results, and trade-specific judgment stay with the crew. One person flies the pre-pour deck check in ten minutes and gets a sleeve-position report back in two to four hours, replacing the manual walkdown. The platform has been shipping since at least 2015, with customers including Turner Construction, Skanska, and Kier Group.
Progress tracking & quality inspection
Daily Walkthrough and Progress Documentation
A crew member walks the floor with a 360 camera; photos auto-organize by date and location in the cloud platform. Remote stakeholders review progress, verify subcontractor claims against visual data, and check concealed conditions before close-up without traveling to site.
Drone Survey and Aerial Documentation
Automated flight planning covers the site in a single mission; the platform generates orthomosaics, 3D models, and cut-fill analysis from the captured imagery. For concrete pours, the Concrete Sleeve AI compares drone imagery of the deck against composite drawings or Navisworks models to flag misplaced, missing, or out-of-tolerance sleeves and embeds. Docked drone systems run scheduled autonomous missions with weather-aware rescheduling.
Defect Identification and Punch List / Closeout Tracking
Before drywall goes up, a crew member walks each unit with an Insta360 X4 camera, so the MEP rough-in behind every wall is on record. At Holland Construction Services' Emerald Apartments in Knoxville, that record across four buildings of 40 units let the team catch misses such as an omitted outlet and resolve them within days. The project team still reviews the captures, raises each issue with the trade and checks the fix.
Safety & Environmental Monitoring
Hazard Identification and Unsafe Behavior Detection
The platform processes uploaded 360 imagery against OSHA 1910/1926 violation categories and returns flagged hazards. The safety team still walks the site; the AI layer surfaces violations that visual walkthroughs miss or that occur between scheduled inspections.
PPE Compliance Monitoring
Safety AI scans existing 360 camera captures for missing guardrails, fall hazards, and improper PPE, then flags violations without requiring new hardware or dedicated safety walks. The crew reviews flagged items and makes enforcement decisions.
