Drones are quickly gaining traction for being a fantastic investment for businesses operating in various sectors, particularly commercial property management. The rise in businesses integrating drones into commercial operations has risen dramatically over the last decade or so. It was only in 2010 that just FIVE commercial operators had permission to fly drones in the UK. Fast forward eight years to 2018 and that number was at over 4,000, and the number has risen year on year and continues to do so.

But why are drones used in business and what benefit that can bring to commercial operations? Drones are playing a crucial part in improving business productivity, efficiency and obsoleting traditional ways that business was done in the past such as tasking surveyors to walk the same path. Business tasks and procedures are getting completed much faster and more accurately too.

Oil and Gas and Commercial Property Management are the most mature markets that are using drone technology across various operations to drive peak efficiency, but drone technology does not discriminate and can be used for various markets and sectors.  As well as driving peak efficiency, it has become obvious that the latest drone technology is also helping to increase fantastic economic benefits as well.

Drone Inspections

Drone technology is now also used across various industries and sectors to significantly increase workplace safety and increase the efficiency of undertaking building and site inspections. Drone technology is significantly changing the way that inspections are performed for the better and allows for high-quality footage to be captured of structural assets, roofs, and buildings. Drone technology enables a thorough inspection to take place as the technology is able to access even the most awkward of areas that otherwise may not be accessible.
