Description

In this episode we discuss survey mapping and modelling software (which is also known as Digital Terrain Modelling or DTM software)


We find out:



  • why, where and when we use it on projects

  • what the key benefits are to using this type of software for both the business and site engineering teams

  • its relationship to Building Information Modelling or BIM)

  • why DTM software should not be confused with CAD 

  • why CAD is not the universal panacea to solving construction problems

  • where you will get the best training and support

  • why the leading contractors and clients invest in this software and who is involved in the decision making process 

  • what the barriers are to a more widespread adoption of these software solutions within the wider construction industry

  • what the first thing you should do if you wish to invest in surveying mapping and modelling software
