Industry challenges

Where construction and AEC GIS work breaks down

The spatial data bottlenecks that slow project delivery and cause costly rework on site.

01

Poor BIM-GIS integration

Revit and Civil 3D models sit disconnected from GIS platforms, blocking spatial context for site-wide decisions.

02

Inaccurate pre-construction site analysis

Feasibility studies built on incomplete terrain and environmental constraint data, increasing downstream design risk.

03

Fragmented subcontractor data

Survey, scan, and drone outputs arrive in inconsistent formats and coordinate systems across trades and vendors.

04

Delayed earthworks volume calculations

Cut-and-fill and grading estimates lag behind site changes, slowing progress billing and logistics planning.

05

Legacy 2D CAD design clashes

Flat CAD drawings without spatial validation cause structural and MEP clashes discovered too late in the build.

06

Difficult utility conflict detection

Underground utility positions unverified against design plans before breaking ground, raising excavation risk.

What we deliver

GIS services for construction and AEC firms

Embedded specialists working in your BIM and GIS stack, on your survey and scan data — no site visits on our side.

Primary service

Pre-construction & site analysis GIS — feasibility studies and digital terrain modeling

Our engineers build feasibility studies, environmental constraints mapping, and digital terrain models from provided survey, LiDAR, and imagery data. Site selection analytics combine zoning, slope, drainage, and access constraints into a single spatial layer set that de-risks the earliest project decisions.

Environmental constraints mapping: flood zones, wetlands, protected areas
Digital terrain modeling (DTM/DEM) from LiDAR and photogrammetry data
Site selection analytics: zoning, slope, access, and utility proximity scoring
QGIS, ArcGIS Pro, Civil 3D output, or your platform of choice

OUTPUT FORMATS

· Shapefile / GeoJSON
· DWG / DXF (AutoCAD)
· GeoTIFF (DEM / DTM)
· File GDB / PostGIS

BIM-GIS INTEGRATION

BIM-GIS integration & digital twins — bridging Revit and Civil 3D with spatial platforms

The BIM-GIS lifecycle only works when design models and spatial context stay synchronized. We bridge Autodesk Revit and Civil 3D with GIS platforms — georeferencing building elements, managing lifecycle asset data, and building 3D urban models that support both design review and long-term facility management.

RVT and IFC to GIS-native format conversion with georeferencing
Lifecycle asset data management from design through facility handoff
3D urban and campus modeling for context and massing studies
Digital twin data pipelines linking as-built geometry to spatial attributes

ASSET TYPES

· Buildings & structural elements
· MEP systems & equipment
· Site infrastructure & utilities
· Campus & urban context models

PLATFORMS

AS-BUILT & PROGRESS MAPPING

Construction as-built & progress mapping — drone orthomosaics and volume estimation

As-built documentation and progress tracking depend on regular, accurate site capture. We process drone orthomosaics into topographic updates, verify utility conflicts against design plans, and calculate cut-and-fill volumes — keeping project teams working from current site conditions rather than outdated drawings.

Drone orthomosaic and point cloud processing for progress tracking
Topographic surface updates from repeat site captures
Utility conflict verification against design and as-built layers
Cut-and-fill volume estimation for earthworks and grading

SUPPORTED SYSTEMS

· Drone photogrammetry (DJI, senseFly)
· LiDAR / point cloud (ReCap, LAS)
· Civil 3D surface models
· PostGIS / Enterprise GDB

Why GIS JOT

Built for AEC project peaks and backlogs

Our model fits one constraint: construction GIS work cannot wait for a 6-month hiring cycle when a project phase is already underway.

 

Placed in 1–2 weeks

Structured matching against your BIM/GIS stack and project type. Productive from week one, no recruitment overhead.

30–40% below in-house cost

Remote embedded specialists consistently cost less than equivalent hires — with no reduction in output quality.

JOT automation tools included

JOT Complex Plugin for AutoCAD and Civil 3D automates topo generation and bulk attribute management — up to 50% faster on site documentation.

Sector-verified analysts

Every specialist placed has verified experience in AEC workflows and BIM-GIS integration — not generalist mapping backgrounds.

Scales to your project phase

One specialist for a feasibility study or a multi-analyst team for a full digital twin rollout. The engagement scales to the work, not the other way round.

Risk-free trial month

One month before any long-term commitment. Replace at no extra cost if the match is not right in skills or toolset.

EU, UK, Middle East, North America

Specialists familiar with multiple national planning codes, coordinate systems, and regional construction standards.

Data security built in

Specialists operate under NDAs, use your access controls, and never transfer project data outside your specified environment.

THE DATA DIFFERENCE

Siloed unstructured CAD/paper data vs. integrated BIM-GIS lifecycle workflows

The gap compounds across every design revision, site inspection, and project handoff.

Siloed CAD / paper dataIntegrated BIM-GIS lifecycle
Design & site coordination✕ Flat 2D drawings with no spatial validation✓ Georeferenced BIM models cross-checked against live site conditions
Clash detection✕ Structural and MEP conflicts found during construction✓ Spatial clash detection resolved before breaking ground
Utility conflict checks✕ Manual comparison against outdated utility drawings✓ Automated conflict verification against current subsurface layers
Progress tracking✕ Periodic manual site visits; drawings lag reality✓ Drone-captured orthomosaics update topography on a defined cadence
Earthworks & volumes✕ Manual takeoffs; delayed cut-and-fill estimates✓ Automated volume calculation from current point cloud surfaces
GIS team cost & speed✕ 4–6 month hire; high total employment cost✓ Specialist placed in 1–2 weeks, 30–40% lower cost, scalable

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

We bridge Autodesk Revit and Civil 3D models with GIS platforms by georeferencing BIM elements, converting IFC and RVT data into GIS-native formats, and maintaining a synchronized BIM-GIS lifecycle from design through as-built handoff. This keeps design intent and spatial context aligned across the project.
 
Yes. Our engineers process drone orthomosaics, photogrammetry point clouds, and LiDAR scans remotely into topographic surfaces, progress maps, and volumetric reports. You supply the captured data, we deliver production-ready spatial outputs. No site visits required on our side.
 
We convert DWG and DXF CAD files into GIS-native formats such as Shapefile, GeoJSON, and File/Enterprise GDB, preserving topology, layer structure, and coordinate accuracy in line with client and municipal submission standards. Legacy or proprietary formats are assessed during scoping at no charge.
 
Typically 1–2 weeks. We match specialists with specific AEC and BIM-GIS integration backgrounds — familiar with your exact platform, whether Revit, Civil 3D, ArcGIS Pro, or QGIS — before integration. Full production output starts in week two.
 
Yes. We verify underground utility positions from as-built records and scan data against your design plans, flagging conflicts before excavation begins. This reduces the risk of costly delays and rework once construction is underway.
 
Every placement includes a one-month trial before any long-term commitment. If the match is not right in skills, toolset, or working style, we replace the specialist at no additional cost.
