The software addresses the pressing demands of the industry, such as tight deadlines, complex projects, and the need for precise numbers. By streamlining the takeoff process and creating GPS machine control models, Elevation Pro transforms traditional workflows into a more efficient and cost-saving solution. Targeted primarily at construction professionals, including general contractors, grading contractors, engineers, and utility specialists, InSite Elevation Pro caters to those who require accurate calculations for various site development tasks. The software's capabilities extend to calculating cut and fill volumes, stripping and strata quantities, paving and concrete materials, and trench excavation needs. This comprehensive functionality ensures that users can manage all aspects of their projects with confidence, reducing the risk of costly errors and rework. One of the standout features of Elevation Pro is its ability to import data from multiple sources, including PDF, CAD, Drone, Google Earth, and Data Collectors. Elevation Pro seamlessly combines data from multiple sources, allowing data from one plan and its calculations to overlay the others, thereby reducing errors. To improve team collaboration, the software exports KMZ files for use in Google Earth, allowing users to visualize their job sites with precision. This integration enables real-time navigation and synchronization with original site plans, displaying cut and fill contours directly on-site. Users can walk to specific locations, such as building corners and driveways, while sharing critical information seamlessly with team members and stakeholders. This level of collaboration enhances communication and ensures that everyone involved is on the same page, ultimately leading to smoother project execution. The software also incorporates GPS and drone data for grade verification and production tracking, providing users with accurate as-built calculations. Once a bid is secured, InSite Elevation Pro quickly generates GPS machine control models compatible with major systems such as CAT, Komatsu, Trimble, Topcon, and Leica. This compatibility allows for efficient machine operation and precise grading, further enhancing productivity on-site. To address value engineering challenges, the Dynamic Site Balancer module optimizes site balance, helping users maximize project profitability. With comprehensive onboard training and dedicated 7-day technical support, InSite Elevation Pro ensures that users can quickly achieve productivity and confidence in their bidding processes. This software not only empowers teams to win more jobs but also supports them in executing projects with unparalleled precision and efficiency.
