PROOF OF WORK
Specs, workflows and outputs exactly as they shipped
These are not mockups. Every case study below documents an actual GIS mapping services engagement — the scale, the software stack, and the deliverable format — produced by a dedicated remote engineer or project team.
Whether the brief calls for CAD drafting, scan-to-CAD conversion, raw point cloud processing, or full geospatial analysis, the same engineering-grade quality bar applies across every project, industry, and region we serve.
International-scale datasets
Delivered across Europe, UK, Middle East, and North America.
Proprietary JOT automation
In-house plugin suite for AutoCAD and Civil 3D cuts production time by up to 50%.
Standards-compliant output
MAVAT, REG/DIS layers, and regional CAD standards handled natively.
CASE STUDIES
Six deliverables, six geospatial engineering workflows
Every project card documents the scale, the tech stack, and the exact CAD or GIS files handed to the client.

HOW WE WORK
Our technical data workflow, from raw scan to final delivery
Every point cloud processing and CAD drafting engagement follows the same four-stage pipeline, regardless of scale.
Data ingestion
Raw point clouds, LiDAR scans, or field survey files received and validated for completeness.
01
Feature extraction & vectorization
3D asset extraction and vectorization in TerraExplorer, ReCap, or Cyclone 3DR to isolate engineering features.
02
Multi-tier quality assurance
Topology validation, coordinate verification, and layer-standard review before handoff.
03
Final delivery
Output in your required format — SHP, DWG, GeoJSON, or BIM models — ready for design work.
04
PROCESS FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Standard outputs are DWG, DXF, SHP, GeoJSON, and PDF, matched to your CAD or GIS platform. We also produce MAVAT-compliant and REG/DIS-layered CAD packages on request.
We work in any local or global coordinate system and datum your project requires, including national grids, and can supply control point tables with full North/East coordinates.
Most point cloud processing and scan-to-CAD deliverables ship within one to two weeks of receiving raw data, depending on site size and scale requirements.
Yes. All raw survey data, point clouds, and CAD files are handled under NDA with access-controlled storage, and can be transferred through your preferred secure channel.
Yes. Engineers replicate your CAD layer naming, block structures, and GIS attribute schema so deliverables drop straight into your existing project files.
Yes. Several case studies above were delivered under full MAVAT compliance with REG/DIS layer structures. We adapt to whatever regional compliance format your submission requires.
