As a construction job progresses, raw commodities such as fill dirt, gravel, or other aggregates can easily stop work if you run short of a key ingredient. These volumes of loose material have been notoriously difficult to estimate in the past, but with aerial surveys and 3D measurement capabilities built-in to a variety of popular drone apps such asPix4DandDroneDeploy, you’ll know to the nearest cubic foot how much material you have. Armed with precise volumetric data, your usage rates, costs, and re-order points will become simple to monitor.
