The Right Survey Information, Every Time
The only Common Data Environment purpose-built for surveyors and their workflows
The Hidden Cost of Survey Data Chaos
Most CDEs (Procore, Aconex, ACC, ProjectWise) manage design and project delivery but not survey data. Surveyors are left juggling unmanaged folders, USBs, and email chains.
The result? Three critical risks that erode profitability:
Generic CDEs were built for managing PDFs, RFIs, and design models; not complex, folder-based survey datasets. 12d Model projects, field books, and control networks don’t behave like a single file with linear versions.
Real results from survey teams managing complex infrastructure projects.
Built for How Surveyors Actually Work
Streamline complex data sets and implement a CDE built for Surveyors.
Centralized Version Repository
Every file revision is stored with full metadata: who changed it, when, why, and what was modified. Roll back to any previous version instantly without IT intervention.
Intelligent Data Transfer
Stops wasting time on giant uploads. Only changed files are transferred, keeping updates fast and reliable. It's a smarter, faster way to keep field teams in sync.
Agnostic Data Architecture
Manages folder-based datasets (12d Model projects, Infinity files, TBC projects) natively without forcing exports or conversions. Works with Leica, Trimble, Carlson, Civil 3D, BricsCAD, and more.
Automated Project Templates
Enforce consistent folder hierarchies and naming conventions across all projects. New jobs inherit proven organizational structures automatically, eliminating setup guesswork.
Automated Subcontractor Handback
Subcontractor work syncs to the central repository automatically with full traceability. When they rotate off, their data stays behind with a complete change history.
Bidirectional CDE Integration
Connects survey data to broader project systems through two-way integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) and ProjectWise. Survey data finally talks to design and delivery workflows.

Why Surveyors Choose 12d Synergy
Purpose-built for survey workflows
Flip to Learn More ⧉
From data capture to design delivery, 12d Synergy connects survey, design and BIM environments into one continuous, controlled workflow.
Proven at infrastructure scale
Flip to Learn More ⧉
Trusted on Australia’s largest projects for over a decade. Handles hundreds of thousands of files and terabytes of data without performance degradation.
Global surveying expertise
Flip to Learn More ⧉
Support team with deep industry knowledge, not generic IT help desk. Ongoing development driven by real surveyor feedback from the field.
No vendor agenda
Flip to Learn More ⧉
Independent platform not tied to hardware manufacturers. Whether you run Leica, Trimble, Topcon, or mixed fleets, all data is treated equally without ecosystem bias.
Long-term investment protection
Flip to Learn More ⧉
Agnostic architecture means you’re not locked into a single vendor’s roadmap or forced upgrades. Switch survey platforms, change hardware providers, or adapt to new technologies without replacing your data management foundation.

The Cost of Waiting
Survey data management isn’t getting easier. It’s getting more complex and the risks of inaction are accelerating.
Projects are becoming more data-intensive.
BIM coordination, digital twins, and AI-driven design require richer, more detailed survey data than ever before. The old “dump it in a shared folder” approach breaks at this scale.
Subcontractor dependencies are multiplying.
Modern projects involve more specialized subcontractors working in parallel. Every handoff is a risk. Every data gap is a potential delay.
When subcontractors rotate off without proper data handback, you inherit the chaos.
Client expectations are rising.
Clients now demand full traceability: “Show me the as-built data. Who signed off on this version? When was it updated?”
Generic file-sharing tools can’t answer these questions. 12d Synergy can.
The Competitive Advantage
Firms using 12d Synergy don’t just avoid problems; they differentiate on delivery certainty. When clients ask “How do you ensure data accuracy?”, you have a system-backed answer, not a promise.
Every day without proper survey data management is a day you’re exposed to:
12d Synergy acts as an insurance policy against the mistakes that damage client relationships and destroy profitability.
What Survey Leaders Are Saying
“12d Synergy just promotes collaboration. Everyone knows where the data is, and they can access it instantly. Even on smaller projects where surveyors rotate in and out, they're walking into a consistent environment. It sets them up for success from day one.”
“We've saved roughly $50,000 a year by the reduction of double entry of data. Automatic alerts catch system errors early, saving us another $100,000 annually by limiting downtime. Essentially, we have 99% uptime on our data.”

FAQ – Common Questions from Survey Firms
Most firms are up and running within 2–4 weeks. 12d Synergy is designed for rapid deployment with minimal disruption. You can start with a pilot project and scale from there.
No. 12d Synergy adapts to how you already work. It sits between your existing survey software (Leica Infinity, Trimble Business Center, 12d Model, etc.) and your file storage — adding control without forcing you to change tools.
12d Synergy is vendor-agnostic. It works alongside your existing tools without replacing them. Many firms use 12d Synergy to avoid deeper vendor lock-in and maintain flexibility.
Not at all. Keep using Leica, Trimble, Carlson, Civil 3D, 12d Model, or whatever your team prefers. 12d Synergy manages the data flow and version control — your software stays the same.
Most surveyors are productive within days. Formal training sessions take 1–2 hours, and ongoing support is included.
Yes. 12d Synergy offers two-way integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) and ProjectWise, keeping survey data connected to the wider project ecosystem.
