Created by surveyors who got tired of how survey data is ordered.

AdaptiveSDS was created by a team of surveyors with direct industry experience, who got tired of the way survey data and utilities searches are ordered and delivered.

UNION STREET
We use desktop utility searches ourselves, and getting the data and making sense of it was always a pain. We thought there had to be a better way. This is it.
It is a service from Adaptive Surveys, land and measured building survey specialists based in Aberdeen and Coatbridge.

Where we are heading

Seamless access to a growing range of site data sets, which could in future include:

  • Satellite imagery

  • Mobile mapping LiDAR data

  • Land ownership boundaries

Support, when you need it.

Questions, answered.

Is it free?

The plugin is free to download. You pay for the desktop utilities searches you order, with the price shown before you approve. Survey quotes are provided by Adaptive Surveys within 48 hours.

Will the files open outside AutoCAD?

Utilities search results come back as DWG files, which most CAD software can open.

What do I get from a utilities search?

A CAD file and a report, which you can download or load directly into your drawing.
