Construction & infrastructure
Set out from the design. Capture what was actually built.
One base on site feeding as many rovers as your crew needs, with layout and as-built capture that ends in a file your design team can open.
The problem
Your day today
Layout errors are expensive
A setting-out mistake found at pour is orders of magnitude costlier than the survey that would have caught it.
As-builts drift from design
What was built and what was drawn diverge quietly, and nobody finds out until handover.
Paying a contractor per visit
Calling in a survey contractor for every check adds up faster than owning the instrument.
The workflow
How the job runs with Aerom
Base on site
Set once, corrections available across the whole site for the day.
Stake out from design
Load design points and navigate to them.
Capture as-built
Record what exists, with codes and photos attached.
Back to the office
Export in the CRS your design set was drawn in.
Skip ahead — get the price sheet→ One email, same working day.
What you get
Built around this job, not a generic feature list
One base, many rovers
Corrections shared across the crew rather than a receiver each.
Stakeout from design points
Import the set, navigate, record the delta.
As-built capture with codes
Structured attributes, not a folder of loose points.
CAD-ready export
Formats your design team already works in.
Swappable battery
Change packs mid-shift instead of losing the afternoon to charging.
Direct support in India
Site is down, someone answers — same country, same working day.

Comparison
How Aerom stacks up for construction & infrastructure
Accuracy is broadly the same across this market. We have put the differences that actually decide a purchase side by side, including the one where we currently lose.
| Criterion | Trimble / LeicaPremium incumbent | CHC / Hi-TargetVolume leader | Emlid Reach RS4Disruptor | AeromUs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Horizontal RTK accuracy | ~8 mm + 1 ppm | ~8 mm + 1 ppm | ~7 mm + 1 ppm | ~1 cm demonstrated |
| Indicative India price | ₹15–25 L | ₹3–8 L | ~₹2 L | On request |
| Built in India | No | No | No | Yes |
| Support | Via dealer | Via dealer | Email, EU hours | Direct, in India |
| NavIC | Partial | Partial | No | On the roadmap |
| Indian survey workflows | Generic | Weak | Generic | Built for it |
| Tilt compensation | Yes | Yes | Yes | Roadmap |
| Software subscription | Paid, high | Bundled | ~₹21k / yr | Bundled + Pro tier |
Accuracy is table stakes. Published RTK accuracy across this market sits around 7–8 mm + 1 ppm horizontal, and we do not claim to beat it. We claim you should not have to pay ₹20 lakh for it. Note also the tilt-compensation row — that one is not in our favour yet, and we would rather you read it here than discover it later.

FAQ
Questions surveyors actually ask
Can several rovers share one base?
Yes. The base broadcasts RTCM3 corrections over NTRIP, and any number of rovers on site can consume them. For a crew this is usually the difference between one receiver purchase and several.
How long does a battery last on site?
The battery module is swappable by design, so the practical answer is as long as you have packs. That was a deliberate choice over a bigger sealed battery — a dead receiver at 2pm is worse than carrying a spare.
Will it export into our CAD workflow?
Standard survey and CAD-ready exports are part of the software. Tell us which package your design team uses and we will confirm the specific format before you commit.
What happens if it breaks on site?
You call or WhatsApp us directly — there is no dealer in between, which is the point. Support runs Monday to Saturday, 9am to 7pm IST. If the unit has to come in, we target five working days in the workshop plus transit. During the pilot programme we will also talk to you about a loan unit so a fault does not stop your job; ask us and we will tell you honestly what we can cover at your location.
What warranty do you offer?
Twelve months against manufacturing defects from the date of delivery, covering the receiver, gateway, antenna and battery module. Physical damage, water ingress beyond the rated conditions and unauthorised opening are not covered. Full terms come with the quotation — read them before you buy, from us or from anyone.
How long from order to delivery?
Four to six weeks during the pilot programme. We would rather quote a real date and hit it than quote two weeks and disappoint you. If you have a project deadline, tell us the date when you enquire and we will tell you straight away whether we can meet it.
Who trains my crew?
We do, directly. A live onboarding session for your team is included, plus written and video guides in English and Hindi. For institutional deployments we run a longer session and help you set standard project templates so every crew works to the same configuration.
What if I already use another brand's workflow?
Aerom exports the standard formats — RINEX, CSV, and the CAD and government deliverable formats — so it drops into an existing office workflow rather than replacing it. If your deliverable needs a format we do not yet write, tell us during the pilot; that feedback is exactly what the programme is for.
Can I see one before I commit?
Yes, and you should. We would rather you handled a unit and ran it against a control point you already know the answer to than took our word for anything on this website.
