T here’s a famous thought experiment in physics known as Schrödinger’s Cat. A cat is placed in a sealed box with a device that has a random chance of killing it. According to quantum mechanics, until the box is opened and the system is observed, the cat exists in a strange state called superposition —both alive and dead at the same time. Absurd? Absolutely. Memorable? Undeniably. Schrödinger didn’t invent the experiment to suggest cats actually live this way. He created it t

It was a simple comment, almost offhand. | “They have drones at other sites, but not at ours. It’d be nice to have someone local.” That single sentence says more about the current state of construction technology than any whitepaper. Big Companies. Small Gaps. Large construction firms have embraced drones. Many have centralized UAS teams, standardized workflows, and impressive internal capabilities. On paper, it looks like the problem is solved. In reality, the jobsite tel

The Aerial Perspective Series | Vol. 2 F or most of human history, we saw the world only from where we stood. The view from the ground was all we knew — a narrow slice of reality framed by horizon lines and habit. Then came flight. And with it, a revelation: that the world is not a series of separate places, but a living pattern. From above, rivers stop being borders and start being lifelines. Cities reveal their geometry, roads their rhythm, and coastlines their slow, eterna
