Problem
Construction teams often struggle with inefficient job site management due to inaccurate lot grade analysis and a lack of real-time visual progress tracking, leading to increased waste and project delays. Traditional surveying methods can be time-consuming and costly, hindering efficient decision-making.
Solution
TraceAir provides a software platform that leverages commercial-grade drone scans to generate geo-referenced 3D models, enabling construction teams to optimize dirt balance, automate lot grade analysis, and visually track project progress. By providing up-to-date project visuals and calculations, TraceAir facilitates better communication and collaboration among developers, grading contractors, and engineers. The platform's dirt balance tools allow for precise cut/fill tracking, minimizing waste and reducing costs. Automated lot grade analysis verifies cut/fill and spot elevations, while visual progress tracking enables remote project management, saving time and resources.
Target Audience
TraceAir serves homebuilders, land developers, grading contractors, general contractors, engineers, and consultants involved in land development and construction projects.
