Built for a specific kind of firm.

Dyoptra works only with surveying and civil engineering firms in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. Your firm bills by the project, and its hours come from crews in the field and professionals in the office. If you've ever wondered which of those hours actually make money, this practice is built for you.

Project types we provide financial analysis for

Every project your firm delivers has a number behind it: a real burdened crew-hour, a margin you either hit or quietly missed, cash that ends up trapped in WIP and AR. Dyoptra sets up the systems and delivers the financial analysis for surveying and civil engineering firms across the Carolinas and Virginia, so the firms doing this work can finally see which of it actually makes money.
