In an industry where timely decisions directly impact cost, safety, and schedule, traditional methods of manual and delayed data capture are no longer sufficient. Turner Construction is pioneering a shift—from focusing on how data is collected to how it is applied—delivering actionable insights to the right people at the right time.

Jason Tillman Director, Product Marketing at Skydio joins Gary Chapman, Regional VDC Manager at Turner Construction, as he shares how Turner is transforming its approach to site monitoring through a network of on-demand, autonomous drones. By automating routine site scans and integrating real-time data into existing workflows, Turner is significantly reducing the lag between observation and action.

At the center of this approach is the concept of the Digital Superintendent—a fully autonomous, always-available resource that provides continuous site visibility without increasing headcount. Whether scheduled regularly, triggered remotely, or deployed following weather events, this solution ensures up-to-date site conditions are always accessible.

If you’re exploring how to scale real-time data automation and drive operational excellence, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
