End-to-end AEC GIS Software
From site survey and design through construction and closeout, AEC projects depend on precise, reliable spatial data at every phase. Global Mapper and Avenza Maps provide a complete office-to-field workflow that keeps teams aligned from planning through project delivery.
Common AEC workflow challenges
Disconnected tools create costly rework
Survey, design, and field data often move between disconnected systems, creating inconsistencies that lead to costly rework and project delays.
Data errors delay project delivery
AEC projects cross jurisdictions and reference systems. Unresolved data issues become expensive field problems.
Critical project data isn’t always available in the field
Active sites demand accurate, offline-ready maps. Without them, field teams can’t navigate, annotate, or verify conditions on the job site.
Workflow
Process site data
Lidar, photogrammetry, and survey inputs
Analyze & validate
Coordinate systems, datum transformations, and CAD design files
Prepare for field
Convert and package verified data for mobile use
Execute on site
Navigate, capture, and verify site conditions
From site survey to project delivery
Global Mapper processes your data and ensures coordinate accuracy, then Avenza Maps deploys verified maps to the field. One unbroken workflow from site survey to as-built documentation, helping teams maintain spatial accuracy at every stage of delivery.
Office
Process survey data, validate coordinate systems, and prepare field-ready deliverables.
Field
Navigate active job sites, capture updates, and verify conditions with or without connectivity.
AEC projects depend on spatial data that stays accurate from the first survey to the final handoff. Global Mapper processes lidar, photogrammetry, and terrain data at full precision, while the integrated GeoCalc geodetic engine resolves coordinate systems, datums, and transformations before data leaves the office. Avenza Maps then puts verified, georeferenced maps in the hands of field teams, offline-ready and GPS-enabled.
Key outcomes
Purpose built for AEC
Unlike fragmented workflows requiring separate tools for survey processing, coordinate management, and field execution, Blue Marble connects these capabilities in a single platform. Surveyors, engineers, GIS professionals, and field crews gain a shared spatial foundation that supports planning, design, construction, and closeout without sacrificing accuracy.
