YES!!! We always are. Just drop any of us an email or quick phone call to get started.

Just email sales@avqld.com or any of us the project plans for a quote. We'll reply with a lump sum price. We don't need the CAD to quote, but if it's available, feel free to share. Head to our machine control modeling page for more details.

We are happy to quote a model anytime. Just email us the PDF's. 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.

Quantum Land Design typically delivers within three business days for most projects.

We need the full set of construction plans with CAD files to match. Plans are almost always in PDF format while CAD can be a range of file types. Most common are DWG, DXF, or DGN formats but we can work with almost any format your might receive. Always share with us any data you have that may be helpful. We'd much rather have too much data then not enough! Files too big for email can be uploaded here. Follow up with an email to your contact sharing anything we need to know about the project.

Revisions are completed quickly, usually in less than three business days. Our revision cost depends on the extent of changes, up to the full model cost for extensive revisions. For every revision, please provide the revised PDF plan set along with matching CAD files. Include a short note about what has changed on project when you send us the new data. It's best to reply to the Quantum Machine Control Pro who sent you the original model with your revision information.

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. Send the takeoff request to your contact or email it to sales@avqld.com Head to our takeoff page for full details.

Photos and ground control, that's it. Just upload them through our portal and we'll get started. You can find more details on our drone data processing page.

Currently, Quantum Land Design does not offer field services. However, work with machine control suppliers all over the US and Canada. We should be able to refer you to a reliable local service for onsite assistance. You'll find some resources on our education page that will help you develop the confidence to measure in your own site control.
