Drone Deploy: Innovative Quality Assurance

At Foundry Partners, our commitment to excellence and innovation keeps us at the forefront of construction technology. We’re proud to work among a small group of construction managers using Drone Deploy as part of our Quality Assurance (QA) process.

Drone Deploy is transforming how we manage construction sites. This cutting-edge platform allows designers, project teams, and clients to integrate aerial imagery, drawings, and 3D models into a single augmented reality interface.

The result? Real-time visualization of site conditions that empowers teams to make faster, more accurate decisions—enhancing situational awareness and streamlining collaboration.

What does this look like in the field? A QA inspector carries a 360-degree camera during the site visit. Footage from each site visit is uploaded with time and date stamps. If an issue is identified, the inspector can link their note directly to the exact frame of footage showing the problem. This makes problem-solving faster and more precise.

Regular site footage ensures that work progresses according to schedule and design specifications, with a focus on safety. It prevents teams from working out of sequence, helping anticipate and resolve issues more effectively. This keeps the site safe and efficient. By embracing tools like Drone Deploy, we’re working smarter and more responsibly. It strengthens our ability to be better stewards of the construction process, more thoughtful with our clients’ investments, and more mindful of our impact on the local environment and economy.
