Road construction and paving, set out and checked
Kerbs, road edges, gullies and crossings set out from the design. Levels checked before and after each layer, and the road recorded as built, by your own crew.
Set out the road
Kerb lines, road edges, gullies and markings straight from the design.
Check every layer
Measure the surface before and after paving and see the difference.
Record the road as built
The finished road in DWG, LandXML or CSV for the office and the client.
Trusted by 1000+ companies
More than 10 million objects measured, in more than 40 countries.
Digital points instead of chalk lines
Chalk lines fade in rain and wind. Digital points do not. With the UNI-Collect Survey Package your road crew sets out kerbs and edges, checks levels on the sub-base and the asphalt, and hands over the as-built the same day. On larger jobs UNI-Machine guides the excavator or dozer straight to the design.
Kerbs and edges from the design
Level checks per layer
As-built the same day
What road crews do with it
From the first set-out to the finished surface.
Set-out
- Kerb lines, road edges and crossings.
- Gullies, manholes and drainage.
- Parking bays, markings and signs.
Levels and paving
- Heights on the sub-base, binder and surface course.
- Measure before and after paving to check layer thickness.
- Volume over a surface for material quantities.
As-built
- Record the finished road to the centimetre.
- Export to DWG, DXF, LandXML or CSV.
- Share a project link with the client.
Machine work
- Design on the cab screen with UNI-Machine.
- Excavators and dozers grade to design.
- KLIC cables and pipes in the cabin.
Before the first layer
- Survey the existing road: levels, edges and gullies.
- Check the design levels against the existing road before set-out.
- Control points and benchmarks shared by every crew.
Changes, handover and later
- Set out kerbs and edges again when the design changes.
- Final levels and surface slopes for the client's QA and the municipality.
- Measure the same points again years later to check for settlement.

Support that keeps you working
Our own support team in Hilversum answers the phone during office hours, on a local number in the Netherlands, Germany and the UK. Those three numbers are an extra, not a limit: we help customers worldwide, by phone, email and chat, in several languages. What customers tell us most is that we keep them moving. Someone picks up a kit from a colleague, has never used it before and calls to ask how to set it up: that is usually sorted on the phone in a few minutes. If talking it through is not enough, we can take over the receiver remotely and look at it with you. For the harder cases we stay on it until you can get on with your work.
- Email and chat support on every plan.
- Phone support and remote assistance from Professional.
- A replacement receiver if yours fails, on Ultimate.
What our customers say
“Measuring tapes are a thing of the past. With the UNI-GR2 we are now able to equip every worker, foreman or technician in the field with an easy to use receiver to survey.”
Heijmans
The Netherlands
“By using the UNI-GR2 and combining it with our GIS tools, we have been able to work more efficient. On fibre optics projects, we are now able to skip about 50 process steps!”
BAM Infra Telecom
The Netherlands
“The stake-out function saves us a lot of time, with quick loading of points and lines. It’s easy to use, which is a big plus. We use the UNI-GR2 for baseline measurements, construction work, and sewer projects, and we’re very satisfied with it.”
T. Van de Haterd

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Load the road design in the UNI-Collect app and set out kerb lines, road edges, gullies and crossings point by point, with a direction arrow and centimetre values.
Yes. Measure the surface before and after each layer at the same points, and the height difference gives you the layer thickness. Volume over a surface gives you the material quantity.
Yes. UNI-Machine is 3D GPS machine control for excavators and dozers, on the same UNI-GR2 receivers, UNI-Cloud and corrections as the survey kit. The most common complete configuration is € 17.995 including the first-year subscriptions, excl. VAT. Your design, your measurements and the as-built sit in the same UNI-Cloud project.
Centimetre-accurate with an RTK fix from the UNI-GR2 and UNI-RTK Premium corrections. In the open you work to the centimetre; close to buildings, trees or other obstructions, where the sky view is limited, expect around 2 cm. Tilt compensation up to 45 degrees means the pole does not have to be held level.
The UNI-Collect Survey Package is € 5.645 the first year, complete with the UNI-GR2 receiver, a rugged tablet, a pole, the UNI-Collect app, one year of UNI-Cloud Professional and one year of UNI-RTK Premium. After that it is € 1.750 a year for the two subscriptions. Prices exclude VAT.
You choose the coordinate system per project: RD and NAP in the Netherlands, OSGB36 in the UK, Lambert in Belgium, the national grid and height system in Germany, or any other. Import CSV, TXT, DXF, DWG, LandXML, GeoJSON, KML and ESRI Shapefile; export DWG, DXF, LandXML, CSV, TXT and GeoJSON.
Yes. You request a KLIC notification directly in UNI-Cloud, and the cables and pipes load as a layer over your project, in the field on the tablet, in the office and in the UNI-Machine cabin. Available from UNI-Cloud Professional, which is part of the Survey Package.
Yes. Record the finished road, kerbs and surface slope to the centimetre and export DWG, LandXML or CSV for the client’s quality check or the handover to the municipality. Photos on each point show what was built.
Yes. Measure the same points again, months or years later, and compare the heights with the as-built in UNI-Cloud. You see to the centimetre where the road has settled.
