Joshua Barnett, president and co-founder of Austin, Texas-based Drone Dispatch, returned to Best of Success in Dallas to give an update on the regulations and emerging technology that could make drones among the most revolutionary and disruptive tools ever introduced into the roofing industry.
An expert in the commercial drone space, Barnett said he believes there’s tremendous potential for drones in the roofing industry and he wants to help roofing contractors integrate this technology into their businesses. He started off by reminding attendees that drones have already proven to help roofing contractors save time and money, and reduce risk. Though much of the work over the past five years centered around inspections and marketing, the evolving technology and local and federal regulations have opened the doors to so much more in terms of data collection and overall efficiency.
