Carlson Software IN THE NEWS:

Carlson Machine Control in Site Prep 

"Since we started using Carlson Software, we've been able to be much more responsive to our customers. We can get answers to them in a much shorter amount of time. It enables us to provide the same level of service as the big firms without the level of cost. And the Carlson support staff is outstanding. It amazes me that I can call in, get a person right away, get my question answered and be right back to production." --Eric Almond, Almond Engineering, PA, Jacksonville, FL, (June 10, 2010)

"I am a surveyor in a Construction Company in Virginia, doing mostly site layout, but find myself using Carlson for onsite engineering when building retention ponds, and estimating cut/fill volumes on grading bids. If it wasn’t for the ease of Carlson Software I do not think I would be able to get so much done. I currently use Survey 2009 Standalone AutoCAD and love it. Like I said I am requested to as-built surveys on our grading sites weekly and then check the finish grade volume against the plan design volume. What takes me a few hours would have taken me days 10 years ago to do simple volume checks on stock piles, pits, ponds, and rock. And Carlson software has recently helped us win yet another excavation bid. By using the volumes tool. I have been able to find accurate excavation numbers on the amount of cut/fill on the job we won. Thank you for such great software." --William E. Rose, R.L. Price Construction, Salem, VA, (March 24, 2010)

"You guys are always on the ball and can answer any question I have with ease and make it as easy to understand as possible... Thank you for the last year and the help you've given me alone. This is my first year switching over to Carlson from Eagle Point.. If not for you guys this new job would have taken me a lot more time studying the program than performing the duties I get paid for.. If you were in Austin, I'd buy you all a round at the bar tonight..." --Tony Cannell, Draftsman, Harris Grant Surveying, Austin, TX, (December 29, 2009)

"I cannot say enough about your customer service.  Every time I have had an issue or question regarding SurvCE, I have had my questions answered in a complete, timely, and professional manner.  I have not found any survey tasks that I cannot perform utilizing SurveCE for construction and topographic surveying and anything that I have a question about your team is quick to answer.  Thank you for the great product and the excellent customer service!" -- Nicholas F. Carter, PE, LSI, F2F Project Manager, Artisan Construction Services, LLC, (March 19, 2009)

Finding my Inner Indiana Jones--Using Carlson SurvCE to Survey History. "Using [Carlson] SurvCE, I was able to accomplish all necessary tasks, including all the field location work as well as laying out previously located, but now reburied blocks, switching between GPS, conventional total station and robotic total station at a moment's notice. Topo shots averaged between 1,000 to 1,500 points per day in a six-hour window because of the quickness and intuitiveness of the Carlson software."
