ESurveying software package mainly has four major products namely, ESurvey Sections, ESurvey CAD, ESurvey Lisps and ESurvey KML. These are easy to use software tools which help in converting the survey data into drawing and then drawing contours, sections and layout drawings. Importing Total station data to drawings, Converting CAD data back to point data for setting out, Road Design and Exporting drawing to Google Earth, all happen with simple clicks. It is extremely beneficial to Surveyors/Consulting Firms/ Infrastructure Companies/Engineering Colleges/CAD services/CAD training Institutes and Government Organizations.

This application has been developed after studying and understanding practical problems faced by surveying and civil community while working with survey related drawings. Its interface consists of a built-in spreadsheet and CAD-like viewing screen. However, handshaking of Excel and CAD is done efficiently to utilize the capabilities of both the applications to maximum extent, thus helping the user to save time and money and increase productivity. It is a complete software solution for generating sections, converting point data into drawings and interpolating available data to generate drawings.
'ESurvey Sections' comes with two add-ons:
|
 |
Topodraw: Generates Topographical drawings from point data instantly with blocks and elevations in their respective Northings and Eastings.
Contour Software: Generates smooth contours quickly from point data available in CAD drawings. Levels available in Excel or CSV file. The software also generates grid level along with contour generation. Moreover, all this can be done from within CAD Software. This software includes attractive modules like area and volume report depending on contour area.
ESurvey Lisps - CAD (AutoCAD / BricsCAD / GStarCAD/ ZwCAD) users have their own set of lisps for automation, which save a lot of time. But searching for a suitable lisp from this set of lisps is difficult. Also, most of these lisps are freely available on the Internet or custom made and hence are not properly documented. To address these issues, 'ESurvey Lisps' has been developed. 'ESurvey Lisps' is a collection of tailor-made lisp routines developed exclusively for AutoCAD users working on survey drawing. Hence, it is rightly called Energizing Survey Drawings.
Built Expressions meets Mr. Kotaa Krishna Kamath, MD, ESSIPL to know more about his organization and IT influence on construction Industry.
BE: Can you give a brief history of your company, IT products and services you offer for the construction industry?
KKK: ESurveying Softech Bangalore based Company, founded in 2008, and is dedicated in developing applications related to Survey Engineerings. ESurveying has four Products ESurvey Section, CAD, Lisps and KML which are easy to use software which are popularly used for creating Sections, Contours, Earthwork Calculation, Importing Total station data to drawings, Converting CAD data back to point data for setting out, Road Design and Exporting drawing to Google Earth.
ESurveying has also developed a web site (www.surveydrawing.net) to help Civil Engineers to prepare Engineering drawings where free tutorials are provided for Learning CAD, Excel and Google Earth.
ESurveying believes in developing Ease to use application at affordable pricing. Recently ESurveying has won ‘Best Civil Engineering Software’ in a competition conducted by Association of Consulting Civil Engineers (India).
BE: How do you view the adoption of software and technology in the construction industry taking shape?
KKK: In last 15 years there is considerable change in Construction Techniques mainly because of contribution from Various Software’s to Engineering Designs and communication. Although all the construction companies are not using Engineering Software’s for carrying their activity, it has almost become common that all companies use software for documentation (word), computation (Excel) and accounting package like tally. They will also be using at least one CAD Package like AutoCAD for at least viewing the drawings. Technology adoption is also driving away some of the earlier practices like blue printing of drawings.
Whereas it calls for additional investment in terms of Computer Hardware, Software and Plotter, but it has made teams smaller as team members will be able to do more work with computer.
On the other side, bigger firms use many advanced software in addition to basic software’s. Many construction companies have successfully implemented ERPs. Software’s like Primavera are very common for planning purposes. As for as Engineering Software are concerned, basic CAD Package like AutoCAD has become must and AutoCAD look alike BricsCAD and ZWCAD are well received. Architects are using Software like ArchiCAD where buildings can be seen in 3D. Google Earth was a click next to Google Search. New breed of Software are also available for Bridge Engineering, Building Engineering, Geotechnical Analysis, Groundwater Modeling, HVAC, Hydraulic Analysis, Hydrology, Slope Stability Analysis, Structural Analysis, Surveying so construction companies have choose among these.
Government bodies also have taken initiative and tenders have become e Tenders. Smart phones are also helping engineers to do work smartly in sites and on move.
BE: Which are the factors that are attributing to the growth of IT within the construction industry?
KKK: Bigger jobs which we call architectural or construction marvels of recent times were not possible without the use of advanced software. When it comes to common construction work with software, quality work can be done quickly. Today everything is costly from remuneration for work force to transportation. Only method one can gain is by spending less and doing things quickly. Use of multiple Software in today’s context, certainly contribute to rapid development.
BE: What are the specialized training required to operate your software?
KKK: ESurveying software package is built with the assumption that most of the Engineers today will be familiar with popular software- AutoCAD, Excel and Google Earth. We have developed the software around these packages to ensure that Customers need not spend much time in adopting our software’s. Normally our training session last just 4 to 6 hours.
