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:

Rework Costs
Wrong control data on site means crews repeat the same task multiple times, eroding project margins.
Data Loss Liability
No audit trail means no defensible record of who changed what, when, or why. When disputes arise, you're exposed.
Workforce Inefficiency
Surveyors spend billable hours chasing files and troubleshooting version conflicts instead of delivering client value.

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.

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:

Costly field rework from version confusion
Data loss when key people leave
Liability from incomplete audit trails
Inefficiency that erodes your margins

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.
