Compare Augmenta vs. TerrainTools

The construction sector is plagued by uncertainty, insufficient profits, and excessive waste and energy consumption. A significant contributor to risk, rework, and waste stems from mistakes in design and coordination. As much as 20% of the time for architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals, along with up to 6% of a building's costs, is dedicated to rectifying errors made during the design and planning phases. Additionally, nearly 30% of newly produced building materials are wasted due to incorrect orders and necessary rework, while the construction of buildings accounts for 40% of the world's energy and resources. In response to these challenges, the Augmenta construction platform provides automation for sustainable building design, significantly minimizing the time, costs, waste, and unpredictability associated with construction projects. This cloud-based platform, designed from the ground up utilizing Generative AI, produces designs that are highly efficient in terms of cost, labor, time, and energy, ensuring they are fully compliant with regulations, free of errors, and feasible for construction. By streamlining the design process, Augmenta empowers construction professionals to focus on innovation rather than rectifying mistakes.

Perfect for 3D site planning, calculations of stockpile volumes, surveying of mines, quantity takeoffs, designing pads and ponds, geological mapping, surface contouring and visualization, and landfill site planning. It offers features such as surveying, coordinate geometry, image editing, digital terrain modeling, contour generation, volume and earthwork assessments, design, grading, visualization, and the production of reports. Users can create surface models using extensive LiDAR and UAV datasets with precision. The system allows for full control over point data thinning, enabling thinning to polygons, corridors, coordinate regions, or outer regions. It supports the import and management of diverse survey and file formats, including total station, LiDAR, ASCII, DWG, DGN, USGS DEM, LandXML, and various image formats like TIFF, BMP, and JPG. Additionally, total station data can be incorporated with automatic management of linear features, breaklines, and symbology. Users can also access georeferenced background imagery through our Live Maps tool, enhancing the overall mapping experience. This comprehensive software is invaluable for professionals in fields requiring accurate spatial analysis and design.
