Illustrative WA surveyor, project engineer and site supervisor reviewing civil road and drainage works

Construction people who build their own tools.

Extra capacity for your project team.

We help civil contractors check quantities, work through drawing changes and understand the cost of the work still to come.

Project Prime is based in Bunbury and led by Carl Catalano. We’ve worked on WA civil jobs from set-out on the Bunbury Outer Ring Road to subdivision handover, and we wrote PrimeCad, the software we check it all with.

See our project experience

Start with the task in front of you.

A revised drawing set. A tender quantity that needs checking. A claim or forecast due at month end.

Send us the information you have. We agree the scope, fee and timing before work starts. Engage us for a defined task or ongoing support.

Tell us about the job

The numbers start in the field.

Every check we hand back traces to control that was set up, measured and recorded on site. The software comes after the tripod, not instead of it.

A GNSS receiver on a tripod set up over a survey mark beside a farm fence line — Set up over the mark.

A tape measure held against a GNSS antenna to record its height — Measure the antenna height.

A newly concreted survey mark with its brass plug, seen from above — Record the mark itself.

You can trace it.

Every output names the drawing revision, the source records and the assumptions behind it.

A person checks it.

We review the result ourselves and flag the gaps that need your team’s decision.

Software does the repeat work.

So our time goes on the judgement calls, not the copying.

Where we can help

Nine defined tasks, grouped by where they sit in the job.

Price it

Know the job before you commit to a number.

Quantity & estimating checks

Another set of eyes on the take-off before you commit.

Service clash checks

Find the conflict with existing services before the crew does.

Build it

Measure every change while it’s still fresh.

Variation reviews & preparation

Changed drawings, extra work and the records to support a claim.

Project costs & ongoing support

Progress quantities, claims and cost-to-complete.

Machine-control models

Issued files turned into surfaces and files for your machine system.

Drone progress surveys

Measured progress for claims and project records.

Hand it over

Get the records signed off, not sent back.

Water Corporation handover (WCX)

Water and sewer as-constructed records for Water Corporation.

Council as-builts (R-Spec & D-Spec)

Road and drainage as-built data for the receiving council.

Land development support

All three stages

For developers: site and purchase review, town planning and subdivision coordination, pre-calc plans, tender, construction controls and handover. One team, one set of numbers.

Technology that earns its place on a project.

We use and develop digital tools to reduce repetitive checking, reporting and data handling. We also help contractors apply AI and build workflows around their existing systems.

Start with a specific bottleneck. Test it against your records. Keep the parts that make the work clearer and quicker.
