Scsd

California Surveying & Drafting Supply, Inc., is a leading provider of geospatial tools, technology and training for businesses and government agencies throughout California. Bruce Gandelman founded the company in 1986 to meet the needs of the AEC industry - architects, engineers and contractors. Over the past 30 years, CSDS has expanded both its product line and the industries it serves, with customers now representing government agencies, utilities, law enforcement, agriculture, mining and other industries.

Over the past 30+ years, surveying tools have gone from mechanical instruments to high-tech digital devices. Today, a single surveyor can tap into a real-time network with a robotic total station that processes and manages data in one place and do the work of an entire crew, in less time. Need reports? They're printed directly from the data collector. Our Surveying team works with customers every step of the way, from initial consultation through training and implementation, to help reduce costs and rework and increase field productivity for all types of projects - residential and commercial construction, utilities, railroads, agriculture, even tunneling and mining.

Wide-format print technology is constantly evolving. This can make it difficult for end users to know the benefit of the latest equipment features and when it might be better to consider a facilities management (FM) contract vs. purchasing a printer outright. But none of that is a concern when you work with CSDS. We help you evaluate your options and choose the equipment, service, and supplies that are most appropriate for your work. When CSDS created its Printing & Imaging division 30+ years ago, our primary clients were architects, engineers and construction professionals.

I wanted to take a moment to recognize the diligent efforts of one of your Consultants, Jack Taylor. Technology used to streamline the construction process has now been adapted for use in law enforcement investigations. That's why we created the CSDS Forensics division. If you have an accident scene, you can conduct a 3D scan in minutes and collect data that's accurate down to the millimeter. For crime scenes, we also have cameras that can take a full 360-degree panorama in a few seconds and in low lighting conditions.
