Software for Land Surveyors
Software for land surveyors that runs the business side of the firm.
Your CAD software draws the plat. Kudurru Stone runs everything around it: the quote, the project, the crew schedule, the hours in the field, and the invoice that goes to QuickBooks. One record from the first call to the final payment.
7 days free. No credit card required.
Where Kudurru Stone fits in a survey firm's software.
Most survey firms run three kinds of software. The first two are usually settled. The gap is the middle, and that is where the spreadsheets, whiteboards, and phone calls live.
Measure and draft
CAD and field software
Civil 3D, Carlson, Trimble Business Center, and your data collectors. They turn shots into drawings. Kudurru Stone does not replace them.
Run the business
Kudurru Stone
Clients, quotes, projects, tasks, crew schedules, field time, invoices, and reports. The work between "we got the job" and "we got paid", in one record.
Keep the books
QuickBooks
Kudurru Stone sends time, invoices, and financial data to QuickBooks without double entry, so your bookkeeper keeps the books where they already are.
One record for the whole job, from quote to invoice.
A client becomes a quote. The quote becomes a project. The project breaks into tasks, the tasks get scheduled, the crew logs time against them, and the invoice comes from that same record. Each step feeds the next, so nothing gets typed twice.
Quote
Build detailed quotes from templates, and turn an accepted quote into a project without re-entering it. Quotes are optional when a job does not need one. Quotes to projects →
Project and tasks
Every job has a location on the map, its files, notes, and status, and the tasks that need to get done. Templates set up new jobs the same way every time.
Crew schedule
Assign a crew chief, crew, and equipment by day or week. Drag work when the weather turns, and get warned about double-booked crews, equipment, and time off. Crew scheduling →
Field time
Crews log hours against the job from a browser or the iPhone and Android app. No timesheets to chase on Friday. Time tracking →
Invoice and QuickBooks
Invoices come from the hours already logged, and the numbers flow to QuickBooks without double entry. Send the invoice the day the work is done. QuickBooks integration →
Reports
See job profitability, crew utilization, and outstanding invoices without rebuilding anything in a spreadsheet. Reporting →
Built for how survey firms actually work.
Crews built around a chief
Schedule a crew chief, crew members, and the equipment the job needs. Not anonymous "resources" in time slots.
The roles you already use
Set people up as a rodman, a crew chief, a bookkeeper. You pay by role, so a crew member who only enters time costs $5 a month, not the price of an admin.
Jobs that last more than a day
A three-day ALTA or a week of construction staking stays one assignment with several dates, and moves forward together when it slips.
Every job on the map
Projects carry a location, so you can see the day's work on a map, with your project polygons and KML/KMZ files, before you assign a crew.
Office status at a glance
Digi-Boards show where every project stands, and notifications keep the right people updated, so the office stops calling the field to ask.
Works with what you run
QuickBooks, Deltek Vantagepoint time import, Dropbox file sync, and Excel time exports for payroll. Zapier and Power BI connect through the API on the Keystone package.

Priced for a survey firm, not per head.
Each person is priced by the work they do. Monthly billing, no annual contract, no minimum number of users, and no setup, import, or training fees.
Admin - $25
Per user, per month. Owners and principals: full access to billing, projects, scheduling, and reporting.
Lead - $15
Per user, per month. Managers, bookkeepers, and crew chiefs who run the schedule and review time.
Basic - $5
Per user, per month. Rodmen, drafters, and crew helpers who enter time and see assignments.
A 7-person firm - $85
One Admin, three Leads, and three Basic users. Your bill follows how your firm is actually staffed.
Questions survey firms ask before they switch.
Most survey firms run three kinds of software. CAD and field software, such as Autodesk Civil 3D, Carlson, or Trimble Business Center, handles measurement and drafting. Accounting software, usually QuickBooks, handles the books. Business management software like Kudurru Stone runs everything in between: quotes, projects, crew scheduling, field time, and invoices.
No. Kudurru Stone does not draft or process field data. It runs the business around the drawing: who is scheduled where, what the job was quoted at, what hours were logged, and what has been invoiced. Keep your CAD and data collector software, and keep your files in Dropbox if you already do.
Yes. It was built from the ground up for survey firms, not adapted from a general contractor or field service tool. The company is in Meridian, Idaho, and the founder has been building software for land surveying firms since 2001. You set people up as rodmen, crew chiefs, and bookkeepers, the roles you already use.
Pricing is by role, per user, per month: Admin $25, Lead $15, and Basic $5. A 7-person firm with one Admin, three Leads, and three Basic users pays $85 a month. Billing is monthly, with no annual contract, no minimum number of users, and no setup or training fees. Optional Premier packages add automation, the client portal, and API access.
Yes. Time, invoices, and financial data move between Kudurru Stone and QuickBooks without double entry. Kudurru Stone can also import employee time from Deltek Vantagepoint and export time reports to Excel for payroll.
Yes. Crews use the phone or tablet they already carry, in a web browser or in the Kudurru Stone app for iPhone and Android. They see their assignments and log time against the job from the field.
Yes. There is no minimum, so a one-person shop pays for one user, and the same system works for a 200-person firm. Because crew members who only enter time are $5 a month, small firms do not pay full price for every rodman.
