Nearmap is a great application and fantastic for two main reasons. One, because of the high resolution and clarity of the aerial photography. The second piece is the amount of data that's available. It's great to be able to have access to imagery from multiple dates.

The Challenge at a glance

Context is Everything

Highpoint Engineering clients need regularly updated, detailed visuals of land development projects at various stages of development — without  traveling to site. This is especially critical because the company's focus is private sector commercial land development and permit expediting. 

Imagery sources Highpoint used in the past, such as free satellite maps, lacked the detail needed to be able to show clients real ground context for proposed plans.

On-Demand Aerial Maps = Winning Presentations

Unlike outdated, low-quality satellite images or complex custom surveys, Nearmap provided Highpoint Engineering instant access to frequently updated, high resolution aerial imagery of 71% of the US. Using Nearmap, Highpoint's planners and designers are able to create superior quality presentations for their stakeholders.

Mike Fabbiano, one of Highpoint's managing principals, said, "We can use it across multiple platforms. We use it in our ArcGIS and AutoCAD platforms. We plug it into reports, presentations, and PDF format. The clarity is outstanding."

 

Business Impact

After implementing Nearmap into their design and project planning workflows, Highpoint dramatically improved the quality of their public presentations. Their clients and stakeholders, including municipal officials, board members, and the community, are now able to see plans with up-to-date, accurate visual detail.
