The use of drones in the building maintenance of high-rise buildings / Aqilah Nor Azlan and Mohd Shahir Mohamad Yusof

Drones are a type of equipment that is widely used in many industries, including agriculture, construction, security, and building maintenance. Drones are essential for inspections for building maintenance work especially in difficult-to-reach areas such as rooftops and facades. Drones in building maintenance can reduce worker risk and provide aerial photographs that provide a better overview of the property. However, the use of drones in building maintenance is relatively low because of the drone is quite expensive and relatively new in the industry. The use of drones is very low because some building managements still aren't familiar with the importance of having and using drones in building inspections. The quantitative methods have been used in this paper using Likert scale questionnaire for data collection. A total 60 of respondents is targeted in order to reach the main objectives in this paper but only 41 respondents returned to be analyzed. Results show that despite potential risks, the majority of respondents are aware of the benefits of drones. The application of drone in building maintenance are based on the importance of drone application and most of the respondents are agreed with it.
