Abstract

This study investigates the integration of drone mapping technology with Building Information Modeling (BIM) to enhance accuracy and efficiency in construction projects. By utilizing LiDAR-equipped drones, the research demonstrates significant improvements in topographic mapping, reducing error rates to less than 2% compared to 10% with conventional surveying methods. Additionally, the integration of real-time drone data into BIM optimizes design precision and streamlines project coordination. The study's findings highlight a substantial reduction in survey time and an increase in decision-making accuracy. Despite the benefits, challenges such as high initial investment and workforce training remain obstacles to widespread adoption. This research provides insights into overcoming these barriers and presents a framework for future advancements in drone-BIM integration for construction efficiency
