Machine Control Modeling FAQ
Over the years, we’ve gathered some reoccurring feedback from our clients when it comes to selecting a builder and we’d like to share (in no particular order!) some of these insights with you.
GdB Geospatial
GdB delivers quality, timely, actionable geospatial data to the infrastructure, property, and energy markets of the Northeast.
Machine controlled construction has enabled contractors all over the country to build projects with efficiency, accuracy, and safety as a focus. Contractors will see a decrease in material waste and fuel, which both factor in meeting or exceeding a project’s environmental goals. It has been adapted for use on just about every piece of equipment such as dozers, excavators, slipform curbing machines, pavers, graders, etc. Machine control technology has been said to make inexperienced operators good, and good operators better, by unlocking all of the site information for their use in an instant. This all hinges on having a complete and accurate 3D Machine Control Model. GdB is one of the area’s leaders in building 3D models for Machine Controlled construction. Our staff’s background in both surveying and engineering enables us to build models per the approved construction plans, while identifying and resolving potential construction issues before they cause on-site project delays.
Client: We can't get ahold of anyone.
At Gdb, we prioritize communication. We're committed to answering the phone and being readily available to address any concerns or inquiries our clients may have.

Ontario County – CR 23 Intersection Improvements
GdB was contracted by Keeler Construction Co., Inc. to provide various Land Surveying services including Construction Layout as well as Machine Control Modeling. GdB built a 3D Machine Control model based on the approved design
Buffalo Niagara International Airport Revit
For our modeling tasks, GdB also created custom parametric families for items not provided by the manufacture or the client to properly model all features. Based on conversations and specifications from the client, Building Information Modeling for this task was prepared to Level of Development (LOD) greater than 200, but less than LOD 300.
Are our roads as smooth as they could be?
New technologies can better utilize tax dollars and make our roads smoother Summer road trip? Commuting again? Summer is re-paving season! A newly paved road means more than just repairing potholes. It’s about laying down a new surface. Well spent tax dollars on your roads with a new approach, means a smoother road that is safe, reliable, and long-lasting. Pavement that is unmaintained or in
