Survey data preparation
Remote set-out files and overflow drafting support
Need a set-out package prepared or help with a survey drafting workload? Elevate Site IQ provides Civil 3D, AutoCAD and construction survey data preparation from supplied drawings and project information. We support survey firms and civil teams on projects in Australia, the UK and New Zealand.
Send your survey data briefA defined package of work
You may have an area to prepare, a drawing update to work through or more drafting work than your team can handle. Tell us which task you want to hand over and how the files will be used.
Include the areas your team is handling, priorities for the remaining work and who will review the deliverables. A clear brief establishes where our preparation starts and what your team expects to receive.
Prepared around the site task
The scope can include gridlines, houses, factories, road boxing, drainage, sewer and concrete set-out files, with Civil 3D modelling and AutoCAD drafting where required.
Drainage and sewer packages can include pipe size and type labels, trench limits, pit excavation limits and levels, and jump-up references from pit centres. Road-boxing limits can reflect the specified kerb size and type. Missing or conflicting details are raised for clarification.
What to include in your brief
Explain what each output needs to show. For drainage, identify whether you need pipe labels, excavation limits, pit references or a combination. This helps define the package without assuming every feature is required across the project.
You can send an initial enquiry before all the files are ready. Describe what you have and what is still to follow.
- The work area and task you need prepared.
- Current drawings, schedules, design files and revision references.
- Available survey or control information, coordinate system, height datum and units.
- Required file types, software or controller details, and naming or layer instructions.
- The target date, priorities and known questions about the source information.
Agree the outputs and manage changes
We review the brief and discuss deliverables before work begins. File requirements and project limits are agreed for the task. Discrepancies in supplied surfaces or drawings need to be resolved with the responsible project contact.
When new information arrives, identify the revision and affected area. Changes can affect scope, outputs and timing, so they need review before revised files are issued. Project design decisions and approvals remain with the responsible project professionals.
Common questions
Can you help with survey drafting overflow?
Yes. Send the task, source files, priorities and required outputs. We will review what is involved and discuss a defined scope for the work you want to hand over.
Which file formats can you supply?
Formats are agreed for each job. Include the receiving software or controller and export requirements so the proposed deliverables can be checked before work starts.
Does remote preparation include an onsite visit?
Remote work uses the information you supply. Onsite set-out and pickup support is a separate Melbourne service. Say if your enquiry also involves a site task.
What if the scope is still uncertain?
Start with the construction task, available drawings and files your team expects to use. Include unresolved questions so we can discuss what preparation is needed.
