Geographic data for architects

Architects

Taking mapping in architecture beyond the CAD site plan

Architects add value to clients' projects through good design and sound construction, providing a service that extends well beyond just producing a set of drawings for planning applications.

 

How architects use our data

Architects can support their clients with the management of projects using feasibility studies, scenario modelling and producing design plans.

Our geographic data is used at all stages of the architecture process to assess risk, reduce costs, increase efficiency and inform decision making.
