Our Approach

Geospatial engineering, not just
mapping and drafting

At 99 Visual Solutions, CAD, GIS, LiDAR and photogrammetry aren't treated as separate disciplines handed off between teams — they're one workflow. Data captured from drones, LiDAR sensors, or ground survey is processed, classified, and structured into the CAD drawings and GIS datasets your project actually needs, in formats that load directly into your existing systems.

Whether the deliverable is a design-ready CAD file, a structured GIS database, or a classified LiDAR point cloud, we confirm accuracy requirements, formats, and coordinate systems before work starts — so what you receive is ready to use, not raw data your team has to clean up first.

CAD Engineering & GIS Analysis

Engineering precision, spatial context

CAD drafting and 3D modeling for engineering deliverables, paired with GIS mapping and spatial analysis for the geographic context around them.

CAD Drafting & 3D Modeling

2D CAD drafting and 3D CAD modeling for engineering, architecture, and infrastructure projects — including design support, as-built drawings, and drawing conversion between CAD formats and versions.

Built with AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit and SolidWorks, so drawings arrive in the version and layer structure your team already works in.

  • 2D drafting & 3D CAD modeling
  • Engineering design & as-built drawings
  • AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit & SolidWorks

GIS Mapping & Spatial Analysis

Geospatial data management, spatial analysis, and thematic/urban planning mapping — turning raw geographic data into structured GIS datasets that support planning and resource-management decisions.

We build GIS layers and databases with the attribute structure your analysis actually needs, not just a map that looks right at a glance.

  • Geospatial data management & structuring
  • Spatial analysis & thematic mapping
  • ArcGIS Pro & QGIS workflows
Aerial & LiDAR Data Capture

From the air, classified and clean

Drone photogrammetry and LiDAR point cloud processing that turns raw captured data into usable, classified geospatial datasets.

Drone & Aerial Photogrammetry

UAV image capture and processing into georeferenced orthomosaics and 3D photogrammetric models, using ground control points (GCPs) for accuracy rather than raw image stitching alone.

Accuracy is a function of flight planning and GCP placement, not just software — we plan for the accuracy your project actually needs before flying.

  • Drone image capture & orthomosaic generation
  • GCP-based georeferencing
  • Pix4D, Agisoft Metashape & DJI Terra

LiDAR Point Cloud Processing

Airborne and terrestrial LiDAR point cloud classification (ground, buildings, vegetation), strip alignment, and cleaning — producing usable classified point clouds, not raw unfiltered data.

Classified, clean point cloud data is what makes accurate terrain modeling possible downstream — this is the step most raw LiDAR data still needs.

  • Point cloud classification & cleaning
  • Airborne & terrestrial LiDAR
  • LAStools, TerraScan & CloudCompare
Terrain Modeling & Asset Mapping

Model the ground, map what's on it

DTM/DSM terrain modeling for elevation and drainage analysis, plus utility and infrastructure asset mapping for what sits on that terrain.

Digital Terrain & Surface Modeling

Digital Terrain Model (DTM) and Digital Surface Model (DSM) generation, contour extraction, and hydrological/drainage analysis from LiDAR or photogrammetric elevation data.

We confirm whether your project needs a DTM (bare ground) or DSM (surface with structures/vegetation) before processing — using the wrong one is a common, costly mistake.

  • DTM & DSM generation
  • Contour extraction & elevation mapping
  • Hydrological & drainage analysis

Utility, Infrastructure & Asset Mapping

Mapping of utility networks, infrastructure assets, and construction sites — including as-built mapping and asset inventories for ongoing management, not just a one-time survey.

Asset data structured for GIS from the start, so it's ready for ongoing asset-management use rather than a static map that goes stale.

  • Utility & infrastructure network mapping
  • Asset inventories & as-built mapping
  • Construction site & progress mapping
Data Conversion & Survey Mapping

Data that moves between your systems

CAD-to-GIS conversion that keeps formats interoperable, and survey/topographic mapping that turns field data into planning-ready maps.

CAD to GIS Data Conversion

Conversion between CAD formats (DWG/DXF) and GIS formats (Shapefile, File Geodatabase, GeoJSON, KML) in both directions, with coordinate system alignment and georeferencing.

This is the step that lets engineering drawings and geospatial datasets move between AutoCAD/Civil 3D and ArcGIS/QGIS workflows without manual rebuilding on either side.

  • CAD ↔ GIS format conversion
  • Coordinate system alignment & georeferencing
  • DWG/DXF, Shapefile, GDB & GeoJSON

Survey & Topographic Mapping

Processing of ground survey data into topographic and land maps, including volumetric and earthwork calculations for construction and land-development planning.

Whether the source is total station survey, GNSS, drone, or LiDAR data, the output is a topographic map or volumetric report your team can plan against.

  • Topographic & land mapping
  • Survey data processing
  • Volumetric & earthwork calculations
Software & Tooling

The right tool for the deliverable

Which software matters depends on what you need out the other end — a design-ready drawing, an analyzable dataset, or a classified point cloud each call for a different part of the stack. Here's how we think about it.

CAD Software — AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit
The right choice when the deliverable is an engineering drawing, as-built, or design-ready CAD file that needs to plug into a civil, architectural or MEP workflow.
GIS Platforms — ArcGIS Pro, QGIS
Used when the deliverable is a structured, analyzable geospatial dataset — spatial analysis, thematic mapping, or asset/utility databases rather than a single drawing.
LiDAR Processing — LAStools, TerraScan, CloudCompare
Applied to classify and clean raw point cloud data from airborne or terrestrial LiDAR before it's usable for terrain modeling or CAD/GIS integration.
Photogrammetry — Pix4D, Agisoft Metashape, DJI Terra
Used to process drone-captured imagery into orthomosaics, point clouds and 3D models — accuracy here depends as much on flight planning and GCPs as on the software.
Format & Coordinate Interoperability
DWG/DXF, Shapefile/GDB/GeoJSON, LAS/LAZ, GeoTIFF and KML conversions with coordinate reference system alignment, so deliverables load correctly in whatever system you're standardized on.
How We Work

The geospatial project workflow

01

Project Scoping & Requirements

We confirm project area, required accuracy, deliverable formats, and coordinate reference system before any data capture is planned.

02

Data Acquisition Planning

Flight plans, LiDAR mission parameters, or ground survey routes are designed around the accuracy and coverage the project needs.

03

Field Data Capture

Drone flights, LiDAR scanning, or ground survey are carried out, with ground control points placed where survey-grade accuracy is required.

04

Georeferencing & Ground Control

Captured data is aligned to real-world coordinates using GCPs and/or GNSS post-processing (PPK/RTK).

05

Point Cloud Processing & Classification

LiDAR or photogrammetric point clouds are classified (ground, structures, vegetation) and cleaned of noise.

06

Terrain & Surface Model Generation

DTM/DSM rasters, contours, and elevation models are generated from the classified point cloud data.

07

CAD Drafting / GIS Data Structuring

Data is drafted into CAD drawings or structured into GIS datasets, depending on what the deliverable requires.

08

Quality Control & Accuracy Validation

Outputs are checked against ground control and project accuracy requirements before delivery.

09

Deliverable Packaging & Format Export

Final data is exported in the agreed formats and coordinate system, ready to load into your existing systems.

What GIS services does 99 Visual Solutions offer?

Our GIS services include geospatial data management, spatial analysis, thematic and urban planning mapping, asset management GIS, and custom GIS solutions for infrastructure and environmental projects. We work with ArcGIS Pro and QGIS to transform raw geographic data into actionable insights that support planning, decision-making, and resource management.

Does 99 Visual Solutions process LiDAR data?

Yes — we process airborne and terrestrial LiDAR point clouds: classification (ground, buildings, vegetation), strip alignment, and generation of digital terrain models (DTM) and digital surface models (DSM). Our team works with LAStools, TerraScan, and CloudCompare to deliver clean, classified point cloud data and terrain outputs for infrastructure, engineering, and environmental monitoring projects.

What's the difference between a DTM, DSM and DEM?

A Digital Surface Model (DSM) represents the earth's surface including everything on it — buildings, trees, structures. A Digital Terrain Model (DTM) represents the bare ground with those surface features stripped out, which is what's needed for hydrology, drainage, and grading analysis. "DEM" (Digital Elevation Model) is often used as a general term covering both — we'll confirm which one your project actually needs before processing, since using the wrong one is a common source of downstream errors.

What photogrammetry services are available?

We provide drone and aerial photogrammetry, orthomosaic mapping, 3D photogrammetric modelling, and survey-grade mapping for construction, engineering, and environmental monitoring. Outputs include georeferenced GeoTIFF orthomosaics, LAS/LAZ point clouds, DSM/DTM elevation models, contour lines, and textured 3D mesh models. Email us at contact@99visual.com to discuss your project requirements.

Can you convert CAD files to GIS formats, or GIS data to CAD?

Yes. We convert between CAD formats (DWG/DXF) and GIS formats (Shapefile, File Geodatabase, GeoJSON, KML) in both directions, including coordinate system alignment and georeferencing, so engineering drawings and geospatial datasets can move between AutoCAD/Civil 3D and ArcGIS/QGIS workflows without manual rebuilding.

What formats do you deliver data in?

Whatever your workflow needs: DWG/DXF for CAD, Shapefile/File Geodatabase/GeoJSON for GIS, LAS/LAZ for point clouds, GeoTIFF for orthomosaics and raster elevation models, and OBJ/FBX for 3D mesh models, among others. We confirm required formats, coordinate reference systems, and datum during project scoping so deliverables load directly into your existing systems.

Do you provide survey-grade accuracy?

Achievable accuracy depends on ground control points (GCPs), sensor quality, and flight/survey parameters — we'll tell you plainly what accuracy is realistic for your project's constraints before you commit, rather than promising a number that depends on decisions not yet made. Where survey-grade accuracy is required, we plan GCP placement and GNSS post-processing (PPK/RTK) accordingly.

Can you work with drone or LiDAR data we've already captured?

Yes. If you already have raw drone imagery, LiDAR point clouds, or survey data, we can process it directly — classification, terrain modelling, orthomosaic generation, or CAD/GIS conversion — without needing to recapture the data, as long as it meets basic quality requirements we'll confirm upfront.

How long does a typical CAD, GIS or LiDAR project take?

It depends heavily on project scope — site size, data volume, required accuracy, and deliverable complexity all matter more than a single average would suggest. We provide a project-specific timeline as part of scoping, rather than a generic estimate that wouldn't reflect your actual project.

What industries do you work with?

Infrastructure, civil engineering, construction, urban planning, utilities, transportation, mining, environmental and land management, agriculture, and government/public works projects most commonly need this combination of CAD, GIS, LiDAR and photogrammetry services — see the industries section below for specifics on the kinds of mapping challenges each typically presents.

Do you sign NDAs and handle geospatial data securely?

Yes — we're glad to sign an NDA before you share project data, and can walk through our data-handling approach for sensitive sites (government, utilities, defense-adjacent infrastructure) on request. Contact us at contact@99visual.com to start that conversation before sending any files.
