Drones in Construction Session

This is the time before the internet! The presentation is centered upon the current and coming impacts of aerial technology to AEC. We present what the strategic markets are for AEC (both on the private and governmental) and the order of magnitude of impact of disruption expected to occur to these markets due to this technology, as confirmed by analysists such as Boston Consulting Group, PWC, American Institute Of Architects, Standard & Poors, McKinsey & Co, and others. Such analysts predict overall costing impacts in the hundreds of billions per year to as much as a trillion dollars in cost benefit globally. We will define the SaaS based technology that is the hub of collaboration on the numerous forms of information from this technology, interfacing with BIM, CAD, GIS, 3rd party data and historical data while providing full collaboration across numerous parties associated with infrastructure and building projects. This capability effects the entire lifecycle, from pre-go no-go/what if analysis of project viability through design processes, construction process and on-going operational use of delivered projects. We present the current sectors of AEC that will be the ultimate providers of this technology to the AEC market in general. and how Private Equity is currently buying up these providers to accelerate the disruption to the market. The audience will understand what the requirements are a professional aerial technology provider and the six pillars of success. The presentation will outline the breadth of Private Side AEC sectors impacted by this technology (engineering, architecture, developers, environmental engineers, building inspectors, taxing authorities, and many more) and governmental side (engineering, permitting, public works, code enforcement, public health, emergency management/public safety, streets, water, inspectors, airport, information systems, housing, planning, and much much more) to share in this collaborative technology. The presentation will clearly define the depth and breadth of this extremely flexible technology in terms of information gathering (almost 100 different types of sensors – magnetometer, infrared, corona cameras, ground penetrating radar, air & pollution sensing, multi-spectral, and many more), information processing into derivative products (automated change detection, 3d models, data pattern analysis, and much more) and aerial robotics automation (doing to actual work of human beings). We routinely receive very positive feedback from our presentations explaining of how aerial technology is a disruptive solution, that will be provided by current companies within AEC that are being acquired by Private Equity, due to the impacts to this very large sector of our economy, due to substantial and predictable ROI. The objective of this presentation is purely educational in nature, as are all of our presentations.
