What happens in Vegas doesn’t have to stay there. We share five key takeaways from the 2016 Autodesk University event, complete with links to watch some of the best sessions online.

3. The drones are coming and their data is actionable!

Hunter Cole and Jesse Creech from Brasfield & Gorrie showed how drone-acquired data can transform construction.

By making a virtual model more closely mimic the physical job site drones can deliver engaging marketing content, estimations of quantities, pinpoint design problems early and help place items in the field with far greater accuracy.

Instant ROI through aerial progress images, time lapse, and site familiarisation, and deeper insight from measurements, monitoring and topographical drawings, this session focussed on how to capitalise on the new wave of flying technology.
