Geospatial Consultancy and Technical Support

Some organisations need advice rather than a full project. We review data and methods, help plan GIS programmes and provide technical support to in-house teams.

Support can be a one-off review or ongoing help, scaled to your team and your project.

What the service involves

  • Geospatial strategy and planning
  • Data and method review
  • Technical support for GIS teams

How we deliver

  1. Understand the challenge. Agree the question, the area and the decision the work must support.
  2. Acquire and prepare data. Source, clean and document each dataset, including date, resolution and licence.
  3. Analyse and model. Apply a transparent method and check accuracy where reference data exists.
  4. Develop geospatial solutions. Build the maps, models, scripts or web applications the work requires.
  5. Deliver actionable insights. Hand over outputs and a plain-language summary of findings and limitations.
