Equipment
We believe that accurate equipment and use of the latest technologies are essential to our ability to provide the reliable survey information our customers need.
Our survey equipment is regularly calibrated and serviced to ensure maximum accuracy and optimum performance, and we invest around £50,000 a year in new equipment.

Software
Autodesk Revit
- Software designed for use in BIM (Building Information Modelling) projects
- Models are made up of 3D elements, for example a facing brick and breeze block cavity wall or a particular door type.
- These 3D elements are stored in libraries
- A very different approach to 3D models than CAD.
AutoCAD
- Industry leading CAD (Computer Aided Design) software
- EDI Surveys have 13 AutoCAD licences
- These are all on subscription so we always have the latest software release
- Both 2D and 3D drawing with many third party software packages running in AutoCAD to perform specialist tasks available.
Trimble Realworks
- Comprehensive point cloud processing and production software
- Automated registration supports both target-based and targetless workflows
- Advanced data management can handle large datasets to take full advantage of modern high-speed laser scanners
- Support for most standard point cloud file formats
- Quickly publish projects for sharing and collaboration
- Powerful fitting tools and SketchUp Pro interoperability provide fast, accurate modeling to the point cloud
