Windover Construction: New Ways to use Drones for Inspections and Quality Control

Seven years ago, Massachusetts-based Windover Construction began flying drones to capture comprehensive data of its sites to increase operational efficiencies. Since then, the full-service construction and management firm with an industry-leading Virtual Design and Construction capabilities has expanded the ways it uses—and derives value—from uncrewed operations. Amr Raafat, Chief Innovation Officer, and the Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) team utilize drones to mitigate risk and capture data more efficiently. Raafat uses drones with laser scanning technology on large sites to capture data faster than on foot.
