Construction Parcel Site Live Plan Marker

Construction Preplanning to Site

Every engineer preplans the site. This involves a lot, such as where to place the objects, the estimated cost, and the parcel to be selected, adding the measurements of area and length. Thus, the engineers wanted to do it remotely rather than going outside to physically measure it.

Their Tool's problem

The idea was simple: create an interactive web map that shows the whole of Texas, USA, and its parcels. The main problem, the rendering was too slow; it lags and annoys the users.

One aspect they didn't know was that getting a general web developer doesn't do the task. They have the prototype, but in production, loading 10 million parcels doesn't render it slowly to what the engineers planned.

The solution

A simple vector tilling that creates tiles for each zoom and bound. It was hosted in Mapbox to support the tiling effect. Not only does it load all the data into OneStream, but it also smoothens it to what you view only and what zoom level only it renders. It was fast and smooth.

With over 10 million parcels before, it rendered slow and lagged too much; now it renders so fast that I can start estimating remotely what is in my computer.
