A closer look at each service group. Outputs depend on the supplied information, agreed scope and target workflow.
01
Earthworks & excavation
Bring existing ground and design levels together in a clear, structured terrain model.
- Scope
- Excavations, embankments, formation, subgrade, slopes, benches, platforms and stockpiles.
- What to send
- Survey surfaces, design levels, boundaries, sections and the required construction layer.
- Possible outputs
- Agreed TIN/DTM surfaces, breaklines, DXF or LandXML and supporting volume information.
Review note +
Volume comparisons need a common valid boundary, compatible coordinates and an accepted surface basis.

Roads & infrastructure
Turn road layouts, levels and sections into usable 3D construction geometry.
- Scope
- Centrelines, channels, kerbs, crossfalls, tie-ins, junctions, access roads, parking and footways.
- What to send
- Plan layouts, design levels, cross-sections and confirmed tie-in information.
- Possible outputs
- 3D lines, breaklines, surfaces, alignments and setting-out information to the agreed scope.
Review note +
Levels and transitions are checked against supplied design information; missing design intent is raised for review.
Discuss this scope ↗03
Pipework, ducting & drainage
Coordinate service routes and the excavation information that supports them.
- Scope
- Pipework, duct banks, utility corridors, storm and foul drainage, manholes, branches and trench formation.
- What to send
- Layouts, pipe sizes, invert or other reference levels, gradients and cross-sections.
- Possible outputs
- 3D routes, trench or formation surfaces, setting-out information and coordination views.
Review note +
Invert, centreline and crown levels must be distinguished. Clearances and pipe dimensions require verified references.
Discuss this scope ↗04
Foundations & structures
Make structural plans and levels easier to interpret and set out.
- Scope
- Foundations, slabs, bases, plinths, retaining elements, pumping stations and platforms.
- What to send
- Structural drawings, dimensions, coordinates and approved level references.
- Possible outputs
- 3D geometry, points, lines, level schedules and agreed construction sketches.
Review note +
This is model preparation from supplied design, not a substitute for structural design or approval.
Discuss this scope ↗05
Survey, setting-out & QA
Turn field observations into organised site information and reviewable evidence.
- Scope
- GNSS and total-station data, points and lines, coordinate workflows, setting-out, deviations and progress surfaces.
- What to send
- Survey CSV/TXT, design files, control information, grid, datum and relevant tolerances.
- Possible outputs
- CAD geometry, coordinate schedules, comparison views and agreed QA reports.
Review note +
Like-for-like references and approved tolerances are needed before a deviation can support acceptance.
Discuss this scope ↗06
Machine control & CAD workflows
Prepare the right data for the next software, survey or machine-control step.
- Scope
- Excavator, dozer and grader model preparation, CAD processing, data conversion and AI-assisted reporting workflows.
- What to send
- Approved geometry, the required construction layer, target software or equipment and export requirements.
- Possible outputs
- Supported DXF or XML/LandXML geometry, organised data and project-specific automation where agreed.
Review note +
Export suitability is confirmed for the target system. A file extension alone does not establish compatibility.
