Client testimonial: Why Pythagoras CAD is essential for modern road construction surveying

As a land surveyor specializing in road construction, Karen Huybrechts from AS.LAN.D knows firsthand the challenges that come with creating accurate, compliant as-built plans. These projects require meticulous attention to detail, adherence to strict guidelines, and, often, approval from regulatory bodies like the AIV. Pythagoras CAD has played a pivotal role in transforming their workflow and making these complex projects more efficient.

The impact of Pythagoras on road construction projects

AS.LAN.D’s primary focus is on as-built plans for road construction, which must be submitted for approval by the AIV. “Pythagoras made a significant difference, especially in the approval process,” Karen says. “The software helps us maintain technical consistency in our plans, ensuring that they meet various requirements such as specific line lengths, angles, and the correct use of layer names, symbols, and colors. Without Pythagoras CAD, these manual checks would be incredibly time-consuming and prone to error.”

Overcoming challenges with Pythagoras CAD

One of the greatest challenges AS.LAN.D faces in their work is ensuring that all the technical aspects of a plan align perfectly with the necessary guidelines. “For instance, certain lines cannot cross, and elements must be positioned precisely within designated zones. Pythagoras CAD automatically checks for these issues, which saves us time and prevents costly mistakes,” she explains. “It not only identifies errors but also offers quick solutions to correct them, allowing us to meet all technical requirements and get our plans approved faster.”

“One of the biggest challenges in our projects is maintaining technical consistency across various plan types. Pythagoras simplifies this by allowing us to bundle all measurement data into a single, organized drawing. This makes filtering and customizing plans effortless, ensuring accuracy and quality in every deliverable.”

Efficiency gains in the field

The fieldwork aspect of land surveying is often the most time-consuming part of a project. However, Pythagoras CAD has streamlined this process as well. “The ability to import field data with the correct coding is a real game-changer. When we upload the field data into Pythagoras, we already have a nearly completed plan,” Karen explains. “The software’s extensive coding capabilities make it easy to adhere to specific standards right on-site, ensuring that we can focus on collecting data rather than on correcting it later.”

Pythagoras CAD: A powerful tool for land surveyors

What really sets Pythagoras apart from other CAD software is its ease of use and customer support. “Pythagoras is extremely user-friendly. New employees can start working with it right away without needing extensive training,” Karen states. “Its intuitive interface and the level of customer support offered are unmatched. If you ever have a question or need assistance, Pythagoras support is always available to provide quick and effective solutions.”

Conclusion: The value of Pythagoras CAD for road construction surveying

In conclusion, Pythagoras CAD has proven itself to be an invaluable tool for AS.LAN.D and her team in the world of road construction surveying. Its ability to automate technical checks, streamline fieldwork, and provide accurate, ready-to-use plans has saved time and ensured compliance with regulatory standards. Whether you’re working on complex road construction projects or other types of surveying tasks, Pythagoras CAD is designed to make your workflow more efficient and reduce the risk of errors.
