Client Overview

A U.S.-based leader in real estate engineering, infrastructure consulting, and construction management, the client serves critical sectors such as energy and utilities, government, industrial, and transportation. Known for delivering end-to-end solutions that ensure compliance, enhance operational efficiency, and support sustainable development, the client is deeply focused on digitizing and automating legacy processes across the infrastructure lifecycle. With growing volumes of unstructured data, they recognized the need for an intelligent solution to streamline document processing and fuel accurate decision-making.

Transformed Complex Land Survey Documents into Structured Intelligence

As part of a broader digital transformation initiative, the client needed to optimize the data annotation process to train a machine learning (ML) model on thousands of land survey documents. The key challenge was balancing high annotation accuracy with cost-effectiveness and operational efficiency. Manual efforts were time-consuming, inconsistent, and expensive. A scalable, automated solution was essential to extract and label critical entities like distance, direction, and curve details from complex deed documents.
