Built for the people who issue construction documents.
English and French translation for engineering and architecture firms, contractors and public owners, in one terminology from drawing to spec.
When each document goes to a different translator, the terms drift, and someone on your team corrects them on every job, and is tired of correcting the same terms twice. A term your engineers approved once should never need correcting again. Your term base is built once from your past translations, applied to every document, and yours to keep.
Engineering and architecture firms
Your specifications, drawings and reports go out under your seal, often in both languages. Your AutoCAD drawings come back as DWG with the translation written in place, in the same terms as your specifications, so your senior engineers stop proofreading and get back to project work. If your engineers translate in-house today, an AI draft in NEOLO gives them a first version in your terms to review. Engineering and architecture firms
Contractors
Bid documents, submittals, shop drawings and safety documents, on a construction schedule, where a late or mismatched translation can cost you the bid. Shop drawings in AutoCAD come back as DWG with the translation written in place. We translate to the bid date and keep the terms of the owner’s specification. Contractors
Public owners
Federal owners publish in both official languages, and Quebec owners in French. We translate the specifications, studies and tender documents you issue, in a terminology that stays the same from one project to the next. See the Iqaluit and Pond Inlet case: 420 pages and 45 AutoCAD drawings for a Government of Nunavut tender, in 14 days. Public owners
