Question 1

What services does Quantum Land Design offer?

Accepted Answer

Quantum Land Design specializes in creating 3D machine control models, processing drone data, earthwork takeoffs, and selling the Quantum Flight Pack drone system for contractors. We deliver models compatible with Trimble, Topcon, Leica, Carlson, and other systems within 3 business days.

Question 2

Is Quantum Land Design accepting new clients?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We are always accepting new clients. Email any of our team members or call 515-505-3510 to get started. Email sales@avqld.com for a quote.

Question 3

How much does a machine control model cost?

Accepted Answer

We are happy to quote a model anytime. Just email us the PDFs. We'll reply with a lump sum quote. If you decide to move ahead with the model, we'll need the CAD file to match. We can't provide blanket pricing because, just as every property's topography is different, civil designs vary to meet the owner's needs. A small site in the middle of a hilly college campus might be more complex to model than a 30-lot subdivision or a mile of county road. With that said, the vast majority of our projects run between $500 and $1,500, with a three business day turnaround.

Question 4

How quickly can I get a model, drone data, or takeoff returned?

Accepted Answer

Quantum Land Design typically delivers within three business days for most projects. This applies to machine control models, drone data processing, and earthwork takeoffs.

Question 5

What do I need to provide for a machine control model?

Accepted Answer

You need the full set of construction plans with CAD files to match. Plans are almost always in PDF format while CAD can be DWG, DXF, or DGN formats. We can work with almost any format. Send PDFs to sales@avqld.com for a quote, and provide the CAD when you decide to move ahead.

Question 6

How do I get my machine control model revised?

Accepted Answer

Revisions are completed quickly, usually in less than three business days. Revision cost depends on the extent of changes, up to the full model cost for extensive revisions. Provide the revised PDF plan set along with matching CAD files and a short note about what changed.

Question 7

What do I need for an earthwork takeoff?

Accepted Answer

Submit the full set of plans including design and existing site grades in PDF format. While CAD is not required, sharing it can enhance accuracy. Email takeoffs@quantumlanddesign.com or contact Bart Booth at 515-505-3510 ext. 710.

Question 8

What do I need to process my drone data?

Accepted Answer

Just photos and ground control points. Upload them through our portal and we will process the data to generate a bare earth 3D surface and orthographic photo of your site. Typical flat fee ranges between $250 and $600 per project with no subscriptions.

Question 9

What is the Quantum Flight Pack?

Accepted Answer

The Quantum Flight Pack is a complete contractor-proven drone system featuring the DJI Mavic 3E with PPK/RTK capability, ground control targets, spare batteries, a durable hard case, and comprehensive accessories. There are no subscription fees. You pay only for the data Quantum processes.

Question 10

Will you travel to my project to measure site control or load my machine control model?

Accepted Answer

Currently, Quantum Land Design does not offer field services. However, we may refer you to a reliable local service for onsite assistance. Our education page has resources that can help with common field tasks.
