Oh, the places they could go ... Industry experts say the benefits of drone use on construction jobsites could be significant: from marketing materials to determining the quality and compliance of safety processes. So, while the FAA finalizes its rule for commercial use of unmanned aerial vehicles, the May/June issue of Constructor examined the many possibilities of this emerging technology in our cover story, "Flying High."

 

Other highlights of the May/June issue include "The Machinery of Construction Economics," a feature that identifies the factors and calculations that go into the equipment equation; an infographic on the Workforce Shortage Report: Northeast Region; Ken Simonson's economic news; and the Technology Toolbox column, featuring NoteVault.
