quote-based; credit/acreage pricing Administer Construction

AI service that converts aerial, LiDAR, and satellite imagery into survey-grade CAD linework, planimetrics, and topo deliverables (DWG/DXF) for AEC, telecom, and utility work. Delivered through the AirWorks Automate cloud portal (cloud.airworks.io); no public developer API. Quote-based, credit/acreage pricing.

Hidden Pricing
2.2 /5 composite score
C4 4/5 reflects DWG, DXF, and PDF deliverables from aerial, LiDAR, and satellite inputs, while C2 1/5 reflects portal-only delivery with no public API, CLI, or MCP surface. RF1 keeps C1 1/5 because pricing is quote-based.
