Case Study: Juneau Construction reduces rework and saves time with DroneDeploy

How Juneau Construction used drones and AI to spot issues early

Juneau Construction Company needed a faster, more reliable way to inspect concrete pours before they were placed, since traditional manual reviews and laser scanning left little time to catch misplaced sleeves, embeds, and other issues before costly rework set in. The company turned to DroneDeploy’s Concrete Sleeve AI Report to improve pre-pour inspections and reduce errors on a tight construction schedule.

With DroneDeploy, Juneau Construction Company replaced a process that took about 10 man-hours per pour with a drone capture that one person could complete in 10 minutes, receiving AI analysis back in 2–4 hours. The solution helped Juneau save more than $40,000 on its current project, reach 93% install accuracy on its latest pour, and improve coordination and issue detection while keeping crews off the deck during risky pre-pour work.
