Australian machine control data prep and consulting
You’ve got the machines. Now you need data that works.
Machine control systems are only as good as the data they run on. But converting civil design files into GPS machine-ready formats isn’t always simple — especially when designs are incomplete, complex, or in the wrong format.
If you’re stuck waiting on files, troubleshooting issues on site, or simply want your machine control data done right the first time — Machine Control Professionals is here to help.

FAQs
Can you really help me remotely?
Yes — most GPS machine control data issues can be solved quickly with remote access and the right advice. We’ll walk you through what you need, step by step.
How fast is your turnaround?
Once we receive your data, most jobs are completed within 24–48 hours. If you’re on a tight deadline, let us know — we’ll do our best to meet it.
What if I’ve never worked with you before?
That’s okay — our clients often come to us when they’ve been let down elsewhere. With 30+ years of experience, including extensive GPS data prep and surveying, we focus on results, not sales pitches.
Can you work with Trimble, Topcon or Leica systems?
Yes — we’re experienced with all major machine control formats, including Trimble, Topcon and Leica. Let us know what system you’re using, and we’ll prepare the files accordingly.
What if my files are a mess?
That’s common — and part of the job. We’ll assess what you have and let you know what’s missing or needs fixing. We can even liaise with your designer if needed.
