Drone technology is something which has overshadowed all other trends in the quirky gadgets category. It is not surprising at all to spot a drone used for filming or photography, though there are laws increasingly put in place to curb an impromptu drone visit. Drones have been tried and tested in the field of construction as a means to record minute details whether in the building stage or when a property is down to be sold.

Generally, until now, real estate companies got the aerial photos of their products from aeroplanes and helicopters, which can seriously be an imposing expenditure. Drones solve such big-budget bumble of elevated photography with an ease, accuracy and timeliness. These drones cost anywhere between ₹10,000 to ₹150,000 depending on the quality and utility of the article, but most often these drones are used by camera professionals, so it is not a fixed cost. Drone photography has paved way for newer avenues in marketing properties, ever since they entered the markets. Aerial photography done with drones enhances the visible intrigue which leads to a vivid and vibrant way one can showcase the product. And that is the reason this practice is becoming increasingly common.

Out of many applications, drones are also very fruitful in giving a 3D landscape of a proposed or an under-construction building. Many architects and surveyors have used drone footage in mapping the plot, formulating ideas to sketch the final design. Also, these tiny devices have been instrumental in scrutinising flaws and finding structural discrepancies through passing the laser. So, contrary to a popular belief, drones are not just a filming tool. They are holistic instruments which are changing the way realty markets work!
