I initially thought, "no way bro, contractors will swallow up the savings as additional profit!"

But then I realized that since construction contracts go through a bidding process, the cost of building is a "cost based price". Buildings really may become a little bit cheaper from this. That's awesome :)

Also, since the price is lowered for aerial photographs, demand will go up. I don't know what benefits aerial photographs bring to construction, but we are sure to see more of them.

owners often have outside financing they have to spend on the project or lose. they'll use that money to upgrade something else. ideally it would mean something to boost their standing in the community, like more public art or bike racks, but sometimes it's more marble in the executive shower.

And some services which actually benefit from having a human pilot on a large aircraft.
