DatuBIM

By audience

Owner/Developer

• Verify contractor-reported progress against survey-grade as-built captures before releasing payment on road, rail and bridge packages.
• Get an independent check on earthwork and quantity claims without mobilising an owner's survey crew.
• Receive automated periodic reports for remote visibility across geographically dispersed infrastructure sites.

General Contracting

• Track earthworks, milestones and installed quantities week over week without pulling a survey crew off other work.
• Catch out-of-tolerance work before it is buried by comparing each as-built capture to the design surface.
• Back up change-order and progress-billing positions with dated, measurable site evidence.

Civil Engineering

• Validate design assumptions against captured existing ground before construction starts.
• Exchange surfaces and models with design software via DXF, DWG, DGN, XML, IFC and LAS files.
• Run design-vs-as-built comparison as part of the engineer's quality assurance and inspection role during construction.

Construction Management

• Compare design, pre-construction and as-built states with 4D mapping to report schedule progress.
• Replace routine progress site walks with automated reports built from each capture.
• Use measured quantities to support monthly valuation and invoicing across a complex subcontractor supply chain.

Surveying/Geomatics

• Process drone captures into georeferenced orthophotos, point clouds and terrain models at survey-grade accuracy.
• Cover corridor-scale road and rail works with repeat captures rather than repeated ground survey.
• Keep captures tied to the project datum using the platform's coordinate-system and accuracy controls.

By phase

Pre-Construction

• Validate the design and evaluate site feasibility against captured existing ground before mobilising.
• Establish the baseline pre-construction surface that later earthwork volumes are measured from.

Construction

• Track earthworks, milestones and quantities on a recurring capture cycle and flag deviations from design early.
• Surface progress visualizations to the wider project team inside Autodesk BIM 360 and Procore.
• Substantiate progress billing and change orders with measured volumes and quantities.

Closeout & Operations

• Hand over the dated capture history as a full digital record of work for compliance documentation.
• Hand final as-built models and surfaces to the asset owner as the basis for operations.
