From design DXF to a live lot register in six steps

Your project opens as a shared map and live lot register.

Start a project for the job you're delivering. Every alignment, chainage set and lot lives inside it, shared with your team.

• One place for the whole delivery team to work from
• Projects stay separate, no mixing up chainage between jobs
• Invite site engineers, surveyors and QA staff as needed

Import the design alignment or add the latest drone flight.

Use Import in the top bar to add the design DXF. You can also add georeferenced drone or aerial imagery from the same menu.

• No manual redrawing of the design geometry
• DXF alignment and drone imagery have clear upload paths
• Select the correct alignment when a file has multiple polylines

Lock the line and tune how often ticks and labels appear.

Confirm the coordinate system, lock the selected centreline, then choose the start chainage, tick interval and label spacing.

• Positions on the map match the survey grid
• Chainage markers are generated automatically
• Tick and label intervals remain adjustable for project scale and performance

Enter engineering dimensions and review the polygon before saving.

Enter the lot name, construction category, status, start and finish chainage and offsets. A live preview appears on the map before you create it.

• Lots described the way engineers already talk about them
• Polygon and area preview update in real time
• Fast to create repeated lots along a corridor

Layer colours and filters keep complex work fronts readable.

Use ForgeLot's standard civil layer set to identify the construction sequence, control visibility and filter status. Custom, project-specific layer sets are on the roadmap.

• Every category has a distinct map colour
• Show or hide layers and statuses independently
• Clear visual separation from topsoil through to base

Talk to ForgeLot like a site engineer and get answers in seconds.

Use the AI assistant to create lots with plain engineering language, or ask end-of-month questions like how many square metres of topsoil have been stripped or how many cubic metres of earth have been placed.

• Create lots by describing chainage, offset, side and category
• Get instant quantities for monthly progress claims
• No spreadsheet formulas or manual register lookups
