States We Serve
We have been 100% remote since the beginning which uniquely prepared us for the pandemic. In fact, we were named the KY SBA Remote (Home Based) Small Business of the year 2022! This is one of many reasons we are so dog-friendly. Being remote means modern technologies and methods. We have always been cloud-based (except when special security measures are needed).
Our field staff all have modern Trimble equipment, use field to finish coding, and are expected to use laptops for basic CAD tasks. Our office staff use remote access to deed rooms and source various GIS datasets for basemaps on new projects. AJC has substantial basemap datasets to aid in project planning. We are glad to complete projects in AutoCAD, AutoCAD Civil 3D, Carlson, Trimble Business Center, TopoDOT, Bentley, ESRI using formats such as .dwg, .dgn, .las, .geotiff, .pdf and more. We have equipment for and experts skilled with terrestrial scanning, bathymetry, topography, boundary, as-builts, SUE locating, and aerial drone surveys.
We have an undefeated record for rezoning and have written over 205 pages of ordinances. We happily provide customized planning commission training classes at your location. We can provide you with Miovision traffic counts directly. Our office has 25 miovision units at the ready with a dedicated vehicle and staff.
