To begin a project, we need the CAD files and a set of PDF plans. These two documents work hand in hand with each other and are crucial to the map and modeling process.
Absolutely. By sending whatever files you have, we may be able to get an idea of the project, completion time, and price.
To process a revision on a project, we would need the revised PDF plans with clouded/identified areas along with the revised CAD files reflecting these changes. These files can be uploaded to our jotform link https://form.jotform.com/222065623834050.
Below is a link to our new form in our “Sharefile Client Portal” which we are using to make it easier for you to submit files and project information to us.
Please complete the necessary fields and upload all the files you have for this project. To build a model for your project we need the current set of PDF plans, along with the associated design CAD files and the project survey control information (baseline and benchmarks).
Please note, on the first visit to our form site you will be asked if you want to install the app. By saying yes, a short cut to the form will be placed on your desktop for easy future access.
All completed files are placed in our Sharefile Client Portal. You will receive an email from [email protected] including a link to access the portal. The files remain in there for 30 days and then expire. If needed, we can always re-post the files into the portal to make them available again.
We typically plan about two weeks to work on maps and models. If you have an earlier deadline, we are always willing to try and accommodate, but ask you to make that request upfront.
Simply email a current set of PDF plans to us at [email protected]. If the files are too large to email, upload them to our jotform link https://form.jotform.com/222065623834050.
To create a final deliverable, we would need a Current set of PDF Plans along with the associated design CAD files, the Survey Control Points and Benchmarks for the project.
The most common used form of 3D Data is a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) this would represent the elevations shown on your grading plan (Finish Grade). We can also create sub-grades, 3D pipelines, and structural foundation maps for footing excavation. Please keep in mind these additional items need to request as they add time and cost to the process.
Lead times may vary depending on the project size or complexity along with quality of the information we receive from the engineer. It is best to give ample lead time as possible. Once you have entered the digital world of 3D Automation you will realize how important it is to make the data prep a top priority! On average a typical site ranging from 1-5 acres has about a two-week turnaround time. As stated, this process can vary for reasons including our workload during the construction season.
As you know miracles are hard to come by but there are options to help get you out of the gate. Most projects have early items that need to be complete before site grading begins and you need a DTM. For instance, but not limited to land clearing, erosion control, construction entrances, temporary utilities, and topsoil stripping. We can usually get you a quick 2D map to begin staking out these types of items within 48hrs. This timeframe is achievable providing the control work (GPS Site Calibration) on site is complete. At that point we can fall back and complete your data or get you a critical portion of the site needed to continue while we finish the job. Of course, it is always best to get the files 100% before putting them out in the field
