“…The flight planning was done in several steps: (1) the mission was planned with the remote control by logging into the DJI application using the 3D planimetry option and uploading the flight polygon of 1.2 ha 2 in KML format to the microSD folder, (2) identified a wide and obstacle-free launch area, (3) assembled the equipment, making sure that the propellers were securely attached, (3) verified that the drone and remote control batteries were charged, (4) turned on the remote control and drone, (5) verified the connection between the drone and the remote control, and (6) verified that the drone and the remote control were working properly, (5) verified the connection between the remote control and the drone using the DJI Go application, (6) verified that the number of satellites was sufficient for takeoff, (7) set the remote control to P mode, (8) performed the flyover at an altitude of 30 m, specifying the camera tilt and overlap rate, and (9) finally downloaded the images and verified their sharpness and position. Figure 4 shows the configuration and positioning of the equipment for the flight plan, the RTK base was placed in a stable place near the study area, and the equipment was positioned in front with the controller executing the flight file, then the drone received the commands and performed the flight in 12 minutes.…”

“…From constructing residential and commercial buildings to developing transport and energy infrastructure [3], this industry is dynamic and constantly evolving due to technological advancements and changes in market demands [4]. It is projected that the industry will reach a value of $15 trillion by 2025, indicating a 70% increase from its value in 2013 [5]. Nonetheless, the industry is constantly confronted with challenges in effectively managing projects, such as deficient visibility and control over physical progress, coordination, proper planning, and efficient team communication.…”

The delay in the physical progress of construction creates additional costs, missed deadlines, and quality issues. The research aimed to estimate the physical progress of the project by using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and building information modeling (BIM). The methodology comprised capturing 848 high-resolution images of the Civil Engineering Laboratory construction site at the National University of Jaen, Cajamarca, Peru, using the Phantom 4 RTK drone. The photographs were processed using Agisoft 2.0.1 software, resulting in a point cloud. This was then imported into ReCap Pro 2023 software, which was used to assess the quality of the points. The Revit 2023 software was subsequently utilized to establish the phase parameters, linking the BIM model with the point cloud, filtering the model, and eventually exporting it to the Power BI 2023 software. The work's estimated progress utilizing the proposed methodology was 42.82%, which was not statistically significant compared to the Public Works Information System (INFOBRAS) of 43.14%. This allows for the automation of customary processes, the identification of crucial issues, and prompt decision-making. The study's originality lies in the suggestion of integrating aerial imagery with drones and BIM modeling for the real-time and precise estimation of work progression. This method provides a precise and effective substitute for traditional techniques for gauging the tangible advancement of projects. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2024-010-02-02 Full Text: PDF
