WESTMINSTER, CO, Nov 9, 2026 – Trimble has announced Trimble WorksManager Drone, a cloud-based photogrammetry solution that will allow civil contractors to process drone data within the Trimble ecosystem. The software will combine accurately scaled drone data with project designs, machine data, records of work completed on-site and other site information to calculate volumes, take measurements, verify materials and monitor construction.
This extends the functionality of Trimble WorksManager, a cloud-based software and data management tool that connects construction jobsites for sharing project files and design updates. Project supervisors will be able to access drone data showing current jobsite conditions and view it alongside the latest design files and machine data. The software solution will also provide 3D visuals and excavation and fill measurements to help construction teams assess site conditions and make decisions based on updated information.
“Civil contractors shouldn’t have to juggle fragmented tools in order to see what’s happening on-site,” said Elwyn McLachlan, vice president, civil construction product and strategy, Trimble. “WorksManager Drone closes the loop between photogrammetry insights and ground action giving teams a complete and accurate picture of their jobsite. This connectivity further enhances the depth and breadth of the Trimble ecosystem to power each part of the design, build and operate lifecycle of a construction project.”
“In the past, verifying on-site material volumes required a lot of manual coordination,” said Joe Zapien, field technology manager at Markham Contracting. “Trimble WorksManager Drone allows us to quickly process flight data, putting 3D visuals and cut-fill site metrics right in the hands of our foremen and project managers. Bringing that real-time visibility to the field gives us the clarity to make immediate, informed design changes and site decisions.”
Trimble WorksManager Drone is expected to be available in Jan’2027 through Trimble’s global dealer channel for use with DJI and Wingtra drones.
