The Potential of Drone Technology in the Quality Management of Buildings in Pakistan

Abstract

Drone technology completely transformed traditional methods of performing quality monitoring tasks in construction building projects. The technology delivers effective cost-efficient solutions for problems that existed previously in standard quality management operations. The research explores how drone techniques can be implemented as a quality control system for Pakistani construction sites. Drone technology provides numerous advantages that come along with certain obstacles that need recommendations for implementing quality solutions.  Drone technology was implemented across four different construction sites throughout Pakistan as part of this research through multiple case studies. Quality control aspects served as the central focus for every research study because each case investigated structural monitoring while evaluating material testing along with progress tracking specifically. Each study focused on quality control by assessing structural monitoring, material testing, and progress tracking. Drones with high-resolution cameras and sensors were used to detect quality issues.
