GIS Mapping Services
Clean, attributed, correctly projected GIS data, digitized, converted or mapped by technicians who also understand the CAD and survey data it comes from.
GIS Data You Can Trust, Without Tying Up Your Analysts
Most GIS projects begin with a data problem. Paper maps that need digitizing, CAD files that will not import cleanly, utility records spread across scans and spreadsheets, parcels that do not line up with imagery. Fixing that is slow, repetitive work, and it usually lands on the people you hired to analyse and plan rather than to trace polygons.
Our GIS mapping services handle the data production, so your team receives layers that are topologically clean, fully attributed and in the right coordinate system. Because our team also works with survey and civil CAD every day, we understand where your source data came from: why a CAD drawing is in a local grid, why a polyline is not closed, why the record plat does not match the imagery. We resolve those issues instead of passing them on.
What We Deliver
Digitizing and Data Capture
Buildings, roads, parcels, land use, vegetation and hydrography captured from aerial imagery, scanned maps or survey drawings.
Parcel and Cadastral Mapping
Parcel fabrics built from plats and deeds, with lot, block and ownership attributes linked to your tax or records data.
Utility Mapping
Water, sewer, storm, gas, electric and telecom networks digitized from as-builts and field records, with connectivity and attributes.
Georeferencing
Scanned maps, plans and historic records aligned to real-world coordinates using control points, with RMS error reported.
CAD to GIS Conversion
DWG and DGN files cleaned, split into feature classes, attributed and projected for ArcGIS or QGIS, and GIS back to CAD when needed.
Map Production
Print and PDF map books, thematic maps and exhibit maps with consistent symbology and layouts.
Software We Use
We work in Esri and open-source platforms and deliver in whichever your organisation has standardised on, with no lock-in to our tools.
Coordinate Systems Handled Correctly
Projection mistakes are the most common reason GIS data fails. We work in the system your project needs, whether that is State Plane or UTM in the US, British National Grid in the UK, or Dubai Local Transverse Mercator in the UAE, and document every transformation we apply.
- Topology checks: gaps, overlaps, dangles
- Attribute validation against your schema
- Metadata and a QA summary with each delivery
GIS Mapping Services for US Clients
Most of our GIS mapping services in the USA support county and municipal GIS departments, utilities, engineering firms and land surveyors. Typical projects include county parcel fabric maintenance from recorded plats, digitizing water, sewer and storm networks from as-built drawings, converting surveyor and engineer CAD files into GIS layers, and georeferencing historic maps. We work in State Plane or UTM coordinates on NAD 83 and deliver to your schema in ArcGIS Pro or QGIS formats, overnight from our team in India.
Our GIS Mapping Process
Define the data model
Feature classes, attributes, coordinate system and accuracy requirements agreed up front.
Pilot area
We complete a small area first so you can approve the approach before full production.
Production
Tiles or work areas completed and tracked, with progress reported as we go.
QA and delivery
Topology and attribute checks, then delivery in your format with a QA report.
Turnaround and Quotes
Small conversion and georeferencing jobs are typically returned overnight. Larger digitizing programmes are scheduled by area, with weekly deliveries so your team can start using data before the whole project is complete. GIS work is usually quoted per feature, per map sheet or per area, after we review a sample of your source data. Ongoing programmes can use a dedicated GIS technician on a monthly rate.

CAD and Survey Literacy
We understand the engineering and survey data your GIS is built from, so conversions are accurate.
Pilot Before Production
You approve a sample area before we scale, so there are no surprises at the end.
Analysts Freed Up
Your GIS staff spend time on analysis and decisions, not data entry.
Secure Data Handling
Municipal and utility data is handled confidentially and used only for your project.
