Scope of Work

What This Service Covers

We extract planimetric features as directed from supplied LAS/LAZ/E57 datasets, draft building elevations and sections from laser scans, generate contour linework from point data, and organize every output on your layers — working from decimated exports or agreed tiling for large datasets.

GeoDrafts provides conversion drafting only. Registration, control, and survey certification remain with the licensed professionals responsible for the dataset.
