the geographic layer your projects are missing.

Site selection. Permitting. Environmental review. Infrastructure planning. Utility corridor mapping. Every phase of an AEC project has a geographic component. For many firms, that analysis is either done in tools that weren't built for it, outsourced at a cost that doesn't work for smaller projects, or skipped entirely.

whereabouts provides GIS analysis and mapping support to AEC firms as a flexible behind-the-scenes partner. We plug into your existing project workflow without the overhead of a full-time GIS hire, and we're honest when an off-the-shelf tool is the right answer instead of custom work.


what we help AEC firms do:

  • Conduct parcel and ownership research layered with zoning and environmental constraints

  • Perform slope, floodplain, and wetland analysis for site feasibility

  • Map existing utility and infrastructure corridors prior to design

  • Support RFP responses with spatial analysis components

  • Build project-specific web maps for client communication and stakeholder engagement

  • Develop and maintain enterprise GIS systems for firms with ongoing spatial data needs


who we work with:

Civil engineering firms. Architecture and landscape architecture practices. Land development companies. Infrastructure consultants. Surveyors and title companies. Municipal and transportation planners.
