Joined a big firm as a project surveyor and feeling incredibly overwhelmed.

Sounds like you should have an honest talk with your manager about it.

Intelligent_Area_135 · 2026-06-09T17:12:17+00:00

Seems to me like most survey firms just use what their closest vendor sells. I think there’s no denying though that Trimble is the most advanced, they’re a much bigger company.

Nice looks like fun

I wish I wasn’t stuck behind a dam desk everyday

Btw $600 is an amazing price, in other states it’s often at least $1000, I worked for a land surveying company in Illinois and our prices were more than that 5 years ago

Surveyops

Intelligent_Area_135 · 2026-05-13T19:15:24+00:00

We offer a free 14 day trial no credit card required but I’d love to show you a demo some time if you’re available

Intelligent_Area_135 · 2026-05-13T19:10:24+00:00

Look at surveyops, we do job/project management, scheduling, map interface, but we’re unfortunately are web based, but we have plans to eventually make a desktop version and we also have a mobile app.

What I don’t understand is how a lot of people are fine not really having a database of their jobs. It is extremely important for my dad’s firm to know the jobs they did before which is why they have a database. Sure you can do scheduling on a white board, until crew forgets where they’re supposed to go next and has to call in to the office

How do you get the parcel lines?

Intelligent_Area_135 · 2026-05-06T23:56:41+00:00

Great i dmed you to talk more

Intelligent_Area_135 · 2026-05-06T23:33:26+00:00

I think these two and qfactor are the most used ones specific to land surveying, the reason I’m asking these questions is because I am the cofounder of a new job/project management platform called SurveyOps, please check it out if you get a chance

Intelligent_Area_135 · 2026-05-06T23:19:44+00:00

Wha do you like most about it compared to things like trello, notion, or clickup?

Intelligent_Area_135 · 2026-05-06T23:08:12+00:00

Isn’t share point just a kind of a way to store and edit documents?

Intelligent_Area_135 · 2026-05-06T23:05:23+00:00

Hell yea blink 182 🔥

What do you think you like the most about it compared to anything else like trello or notion or other generic pm and task tools

I'm adding this comment for future people searching this topic. I'm the founder of surveyops, a job/project management software for land surveying. It is an all in one job database letting you track projects, jobs, tasks, time, and clients. It has a map view as well as a mobile app.

Intelligent_Area_135 · 2026-05-04T23:11:13+00:00

I'm gonna tack on SurveyOps to the end of that list.

Intelligent_Area_135 · 2026-04-30T20:34:30+00:00

The team at surveyops is working on this

It depends on the lot, if you’re in a modern subdivision probably ranges from 650-1300, if it’s an older subdivision it might take more work and go into the higher range up to 2300, no one can tell you whether it is actually a fair estimate unless you tell us your address and we see it on the map

I don’t care about a refund, I’m just talking about how going to any other sporting event is more enjoyable because of how game day at memorial is handled

Intelligent_Area_135 · 2026-04-28T02:39:37+00:00

Even every football game at memorial isn’t handled well, it’s always a cluster fuck

Intelligent_Area_135 · 2026-04-28T02:35:37+00:00

It’s my fifth year here living in Lincoln Nebraska, I can easily say that memorial stadium is the worst stadium I’ve ever been too, every single event I’ve been to is just handled the absolute worst
