Abstract

The construction industry is increasingly adopting digital technologies to improve productivity, safety, and project monitoring. Among these technologies, drone technology has emerged as a powerful tool for surveying, inspection, progress tracking, and documentation. Despite its technical advantages, drone adoption in the Indian construction sector remains limited. This literature review examines existing research on drone applications, technology acceptance, organizational readiness, regulatory challenges, and stakeholder perception in construction. The review highlights key adoption drivers such as perceived usefulness, ease of use, and operational efficiency, while also identifying barriers including regulatory uncertainty, lack of training, cost concerns, and trust issues. The study reveals a significant research gap in integrated adoption frameworks combining behavioral, organizational, and environmental factors within the Indian construction context.
