When Greg Sherwin started tinkering with radio-controlled (RC) quadcopters three years ago, he wondered about using them for construction surveys and inspections. In March, his hobby became an occupation.
Sherwin was hired by Indianapolis-based Midwest Constructors as the concrete firm's preconstruction director, but Neal Burnett, president, knew of Sherwin's interest in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) when he brought him in. He immediately pulled Sherwin aside to discuss ideas for a new business.
