GIS for Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC) Companies

Purpose-built GIS solutions for AEC firms

Large-scale construction projects operate across dozens of teams, vendors, and data systems. When spatial data can't flow freely between those systems, projects pay the price in delays, rework, and missed milestones.

Blue Raster brings AEC firms a proven, GIS framework that centralizes project data, automates repetitive workflows, and ensures every stakeholder is working from the same authoritative source of truth, from planning through demobilization. We have deep, hands-on experience deploying enterprise GIS platforms across the full AEC project lifecycle. By combining Blue Raster's customer first approach with our technical expertise, we ensure that our clients always have access to the right tools to accomplish their mission.

From cloud infrastructure and field mobility to data interoperability and workflow automation, we bring our technology partnerships to bear on the challenges that matter most to your project, so your GIS environment scales with your program and never becomes a bottleneck.

What We Deliver

Our AEC GIS Capabilities

End-to-end GIS solutions across every phase of management. Built for the complexity of AEC workflows

GIS Managed Services

We deploy and manage ArcGIS Enterprise on cloud infrastructure, handle system administration, and deliver on-call support for the life of your project so your staff stays focused on delivering results.

ArcGIS Enterprise · AWS / Azure · Proactive Support

Workflow Automation

Custom GIS tools that eliminate manual processes across project teams. From optimizing crane routes with Network Analysis to location-based task assignment, we automate the workflows that keep schedules on track and enable fast recovery when plans change.

Network Analyst · ArcGIS Workforce · GPS Tracking

Data Interoperability

Custom ingestion and export tools that move CAD, KML, BIM, and drone data into Enterprise GIS in minutes, not hours. Every vendor gets the latest design. No manual translation, no data silos, no lost information.

CAD / DWG · KML / KMZ · Custom ETL

Field GIS & Asset Management

We configure ArcGIS Field Maps, Survey123, and Workforce to digitize inspections, track on-site equipment, and manage assets in real time. Every field update flows directly into your enterprise GIS, connected or offline.

Project Spotlight

Optimizing Wind Farm Construction with GIS Network Analysis

Constructing a wind farm requires coordinating dozens of crews, suppliers, and high-cost assets across a large geographic footprint. Main erection cranes, costing tens of thousands of dollars per day to operate, must move from turbine site to turbine site with every preceding task completed on arrival.

Blue Raster applied GIS tools to determine the most efficient crane routing sequence, minimizing total operating days. Those optimized dates then anchored all preparation and post-installation activities across the site.

GPS and Field GIS tools provided real-time visibility into asset positions and enabled location-based task assignment for field crews. When weather or equipment delays occurred, planners could generate a revised schedule immediately rather than rebuilding manually.
