NTB Survey is a leading multi-disciplinary land surveying practice that use CAD software to fulfil their basic drafting needs as well as advanced functionalities such as point cloud and BIM capabilities.
Prior to using BricsCAD, the company faced challenges with LISP routines, as they were unable to use them in AutoCAD LT, compromising their workflow. Additionally, Pointcloud data extraction and drafting from Pointclouds were areas of difficulty.
The company ran trials of various BricsCAD levels before making the purchase, ensuring it was the right fit for their needs. The whole company now uses BricsCAD, replacing their Autodesk products. The transition was relatively easy, with only minor differences between commands and interfaces. They did not encounter any difficulties or obstacles during the implementation process.
The primary reason for choosing BricsCAD over other CAD software options was the combination of cost-effectiveness and the required functionality. By having these abilities in a single software package, they are able to reduce running costs and enhance their service delivery.
BricsCAD has addressed the challenges previously faced by the company, making their business more efficient and reducing overall costs. The ability to draft from Pointclouds and extract data within BricsCAD has significantly improved workflow and eliminated the need for additional software. By purchasing the professional version, they were able to eliminate the need for Civil 3D and N4CE while retaining all necessary CAD abilities. The company has utilised the KTF Pointcloud add-on, finding it intuitive and valuable.
Director, Nick Bamber said “We are highly satisfied with the support and resources provided by BricsCAD, particularly the helpfulness of KTF support. We have received assistance through video resources and personalized guidance tailored to our requirements”.
Nick concluded by saying “BricsCAD has successfully addressed the challenges faced by NTB Survey, providing a cost-effective solution that combines basic CAD drafting with advanced functionalities like Pointcloud and BIM capabilities. The implementation process was smooth, and the transition from Autodesk products to BricsCAD was relatively easy. We have experienced improvements in efficiency, cost savings, and have been able to expand our service offering since implementing BricsCAD. We have and will continue to recommend it to others in the industry”. With plans to further integrate BricsCAD and offer BIM services, the company is confident in their decision to choose BricsCAD for their CAD needs.
Like NTB Survey, you can take advantage of a powerful CAD tool with an easy learning curve that can help you create detailed and accurate plans from Pointclouds.
