How Accurate Are Drone-Based Earthwork Measurements?

[Ralph_buckets002]

hey everyone,

More contractors seem to be using drones for site surveys and volume calculations these days. How accurate have drone-based earthwork measurements been in your experience compared to traditional surveying methods?

I still use traditional surveying for final verification, but drones are excellent for tracking progress and calculating volumes.

Same here, drones are great for quick progress checks, but I'd still trust a survey for the final numbers.

I've found drones to be pretty accurate for general site measurements and volume estimates.

Drones seem like a real time-saver for earthwork estimates, especially on large sites. Has anyone tried them on rough or uneven terrain?
