Survey report QA software for Australian survey teams
SurveyMarkup helps Australian survey teams review plain-text .rpt and .txt reports before office sign-off by surfacing warning lines, residuals, misclosures and parser-confidence notes. It is an advisory review aid — every finding stays unverified until a registered surveyor confirms it.
Use the synthetic sample — no account, no real client data.
Advisory and unverified — not for survey deliverables. A registered surveyor must confirm any output before it is relied on.
What SurveyMarkup can flag or organise
- Warning and error lines worth a closer read
- Reported misclosure and residual values for review
- Skipped or unparsed lines so nothing is hidden
What it cannot prove or certify
- It does not certify a reduction report or its results
- It does not verify that coordinates are correct
- It does not replace a registered surveyor's review
Read .rpt and .txt reports in the browser
Drop a reduction or job report in and the Report Reader extracts the lines that usually deserve a second look. Your original file is preserved and never modified — the tool only reads and summarises it.
- Multiple text encodings (UTF-8, UTF-16, fallback)
- Warning, error and status lines pulled into a summary
- Skipped and unparsed lines preserved, not silently dropped
Surface review signals, not conclusions
Misclosures, residuals, sigma/status text and feature-code anomalies are highlighted as advisory prompts. They point a reviewer at what to check; they do not decide whether a report passes.
Built around Australian survey terminology
Traverse misclose, F1/F2 spread, RMS residuals, GNSS quality notes and GDA2020 / MGA references are recognised so the summary reads the way Australian survey teams already work.
A drafter opens a 2,400-line .rpt reduction report before passing the job to the office.
What SurveyMarkup surfaces
- Three warning lines and a reported traverse misclose of 0.061 m flagged for a look
- Two skipped/unparsed lines preserved so nothing is hidden
- A maximum residual of 0.034 m shown alongside the reported sigma
Reviewer's call: The registered surveyor decides whether the misclose and residuals meet the job's standard. SurveyMarkup only surfaced them — it did not judge or verify them.
Frequently asked questions
Does this certify my reduction report?
No. SurveyMarkup does not certify reports and never self-certifies. It produces advisory, unverified findings to support a registered surveyor's review.
What happens to skipped lines?
Lines the parser cannot interpret are preserved and shown, not dropped, so you can review them yourself.
Which file types are supported?
Plain-text .rpt and .txt reports today. Text-based PDF evidence is handled separately by PDF Markup in pilot.
