What can I do with a Drone for AEC GIS use?

Hello everyone, I work in Civil Engineering, the GIS side, and have recently obtained my Part 107 sUAS Remote Pilots Certificate so, now I can fly for the company but, I'm not sure what to do now that I have my license.

I would like to use drone data for GIS but the only uses I can think of currently is like maybe footage for ArcGIS Story Maps. I have more ideas on the aerial photography side, and I feel like I'm having trouble thinking about the analytical possibilities.

Has anyone else felt this way? Has anyone used drones in other ways for GIS, specifically ArcGIS Pro? Ideas and or stories would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Have you though about making 3d models with Drone2map

You could do volume calculations or construction time laps photos from above
