Architectural, Engineering & Construction (AEC)
Project Case Study #1

"I've been on projects on every continent … this is the moon."
- CONSTRUCTION MANAGER

The Challenge:

  • Construction managers must keep:

    • Clearing, grading, surveying, field adjustments, and as-builts in real-time sync with

    • Land Development, Architects, and Engineering teams thousands of miles away

  • Satellite internet only available at base camp (not on construction sites)

  • Standard surveying methods intolerably slow and, therefore, $$
