Range

?? Bring Real-Time “Blue Dot” Location to Your PDFs! ?? AEC and real estate teams spend countless hours in the field on design reviews, earthwork, site prep, inspections, and progress checks. But aligning your exact location with a PDF plan can sometimes feel like finding a needle in a haystack—especially on larger sites or when orientation’s a challenge. With Range, it’s different. As the only AEC tool built on a native geospatial canvas, Range lets you walk the job site with real-time location context—so your plans and your position always match up.

During the Range Beta release, some of the most popular construction team use cases of Range have been punch lists, inspections, and construction progress documentation. Talley Riggins Construction Group, LLC, a commercial contractor based in Dallas, Texas is one of our newer customers. Their team has been using Range for a ground-up warehouse build. Recently, one of their use cases caught our eye. Talley-Riggins project managers and their field team have used Range to organize site grading, earthwork, and geotechnical testing and documentation. Nearly 250 data points were collected on Range's high-resolution drone imagery canvas. Some data being tracked for each point included dry density, air void, moisture content, pass/fail status, and more. Range is the only AEC software in its class that supports traditional PDF data and drone / aerial imagery in one app. High-resolution drone imagery was flown by a contract drone pilot via Droners.io in 24 hours for under $200. DroneDeploy was used for the orthomosaic map. A simple copy/paste of a DroneDeploy URL activates the imagery within Range ??

Have you ever taken a screenshot of a construction drawing, floor plan, or Google satellite map? And then marked it up in PowerPoint or your favorite screenshot tool and emailed it around to your team? ?? Yeah, we thought so. It is a terrible workflow.
