JG Civil delivers infrastructure works and specialises in larger sub-divisions operating in Rodney, North Shore and Auckland Central and West, in New Zealand.

Neville Robertson, Engineer/Surveyor at JG Civil, is responsible for the set out of the works, preparation of as-built detail and progress claims, previously he would outsource the set out and would have to wait for the external supplier to complete this and provide information.

On the advice of his hardware supplier, Mr Robertson engaged with Aptella to implement MAGNET Office software into his workflow.  

“We used to outsource this work but decided to do it internally. We now use MAGNET office to set out the roading strings and do the as-built files for the project,” said Mr Robertson.

“MAGNET Office works well and has integrated seamlessly with our Sokkia and Topcon handheld GPS,”
