Abstract

Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) have emerged as a promising technology for construction monitoring due to their ability to collect data efficiently and provide valuable insights. However, the cost implications associated with the use of UAS in construction monitoring remain a significant concern. This research aims to investigate the factors that influence the cost of utilizing unmanned aerial systems for construction monitoring. By analyzing various cost-related factors such as equipment, training, data processing, and regulatory compliance, this study seeks to provide valuable insights into the financial considerations involved in adopting UAS technology for construction monitoring. The findings of this research can help project stakeholders make informed decisions and optimize cost-efficiency when implementing UAS in construction monitoring practices.
