GPS is More Than a Survey Tool at raSmith

June 12, 2013

GPS for ConstructionWhile GPS has traditionally been used by raSmith to survey property, our construction services staff is now using GPS to calculate quantities including earthwork as part of our construction management and inspection services.

Our use of GPS to verify construction data has become increasingly important as more contractors are taking advantage of GPS-controlled equipment. raSmith is using GPS as a tool to provide greater accuracy and increased productivity, which translates to a cost savings for our clients.
