GoDataFusion — construction surveying
Reality into data. Shown on one building.
GoDataFusion does three things: it records a site with a 360° camera, surveys the terrain, and calculates quantities from drawings. The site does not list them — it walks the visitor through them on a single 3D building.
Client context
Three services the buyer had never seen.
360° site documentation, site surveys and quantity takeoff from drawings are not self-explanatory services to a contractor or developer. Until they can see what they get at the end, it looks like one more cost line.
So the job was not to describe the three services but to show how one and the same site becomes an image, a terrain model and a spreadsheet.
3D web experience
One building, three readings
At the centre of the page stands a 3D model of a three-storey building. As you scroll, the same model transforms: as the visitor moves down, each service reveals a different layer of it.
- Capture — point cloud and capture points
- In the 360° camera chapter the building is drawn as a point cloud, surrounded by the capture points. The visitor sees what the service hands over at the end: a digital state you can walk through.
- Measure — terrain, with contour lines
- For the site survey the model becomes a wireframe, and beneath it the terrain's contour drawing appears, with the calculated area and earthwork volume.
- Quantify — floor plan, with counts
- For quantity takeoff the building flattens into the floor plan of a single level, and the values counted from the drawing appear around it: floor area, doors, windows, rooms.
- An interface tuned to each service
- On the opening screen, hovering over any service switches the whole interface. Each chapter has its own colour, which follows the model and the figures too.
- Honest sample data
- Every figure says that it was calculated from a demonstration building and a sample plot. For a data company credibility is the product, so we did not hide it.
Search engine optimisation
Three languages, one page per service
Behind the striking homepage, full search engine optimisation was done too. Everything below can be checked on the live site.
- Hungarian, English and German
- All eight pages in all three languages, each with its own title and description per language, written for the search term used there: quantity takeoff is Mengenermittlung in German and mennyiségszámítás in Hungarian.
- A separate page for each service
- The 360° camera, the site survey and the quantity takeoff each got their own page with their own title and description — so each can answer its own search.
- Languages linked
- hreflang annotations on every language version, with a default version, and a canonical URL on every page — Google knows which language to show to whom.
- Structured data
- The service pages describe themselves to search engines as a service, with a breadcrumb trail.
- Sitemap and robots.txt
- All 24 pages are in the sitemap, and robots.txt points search engines to it.
What isn't here yet
There are deliberately no result figures
The site is new and its rankings are being built now. We will put traffic or enquiry figures here once they can be measured and the client has approved them — never an estimate.
