Success stories in Civil & Survey

Real projects we've delivered for teams like yours.

Land Surveying & Mapping

Custom programming to automate survey deliverables

Chappell Geomatics · Northern California

Challenge: Chappell Geomatics provides land surveying and mapping services to commercial and residential customers across Northern California. While producing deliverables, they identified many repeatable office tasks as strong candidates for automation.

What we did: We built custom programming that automates those repeatable steps, speeding up deliverable production and cutting manual effort.

Utility-Scale Solar

Custom modeling & labeling tools for utility-scale solar

Pure Power

Challenge: Pure Power designs utility-scale solar projects and has grown quickly in project size and staff. To optimize ground-mount solar design, they needed a partner who understands the design parameters and could build custom tools with Autodesk APIs.

What we did: We created custom modeling and labeling tools using the Autodesk API, streamlining their ground-mount solar design process at scale.

Design-tool standardization & efficiency for 400+ staff

BKF

Challenge: BKF has more than 400 staff using Autodesk software with Civil 3D at the core. Skills and practices varied widely across teams — Civil 3D best practices, peripheral tools (InfraWorks, Vehicle Tracking, Raster Design), and customizations — creating duplicated effort and inconsistent results.

What we did: We standardized their design tools and workflows — Civil 3D best practices, peripheral software, custom programming, and templates — to improve information sharing and produce consistent results more efficiently.
