Equator is used by professionals in the AEC industries – architects, engineers, landscape designers and construction professionals. We help designers build the infrastructure of the future faster, with the best public data from day one.

All of the data in Equator comes from public, open data sources. Topographic base plans are created from airborne lidar surveys that are carried out by government organizations. When you generate a base plan in Equator, you will be provided with a data quality and accuracy report, along with your deliverable. This report includes all of the source information and links to learn more.

Infrastructure designers use Equator in a variety of ways:

• To impress clients and stand out in proposal submissions
• To better scope technical cost proposals
• As part of the due-diligence process
• To support concept development and design

Deliverables generated using Equator are often created prior to hiring a Canterbury Land Surveyor, to gain a preliminary understanding of a site.

Deliverables downloaded from the Equator platform can be used in a variety of other software platforms, including:

• AutoCAD
• Civil 3D
• ArcGIS
• QGIS
• Google Earth
• and more!
