No Surprises When It Comes to the Cost of Uploading Data to DTM

When it comes to data entry services for DTM, people often compare price lists, but the final price usually ends up being different from the initial estimate. With us, everything starts with specific data. Based on that, we prepare a quote that remains unchanged throughout the project and doesn’t get buried in additional fees. We also provide our own surveying services—from processing source data to field measurements. 

A fair price for dtmcr.cz services isn’t determined by the price list. It’s determined only once we see the specific data. 

A typical scenario looks like this. An investor or network operator has documentation—sometimes up-to-date GIS or CAD data, other times scans of old drawings. They upload them to us. We review the materials and prepare a quote based on the actual scope of work. The price we quote remains fixed throughout the project. We don’t come back with addenda saying “this wasn’t included before” or “this is an additional item.” 

The reason we follow this approach is simple. It doesn’t make sense to compare only list prices. Part of the market operates with models where some of the costs are shifted elsewhere—membership fees for an association providing the service, related services, or items that don’t appear until later. The final amount then looks different from the initial one. 

We don’t split the price. Whatever we calculate at the beginning based on the data provided remains valid until the end. 

The price depends on the actual work involved with the data. It’s not simply a matter of “importing it into DTM.” In practice, we handle a wide variety of tasks involving the input data: 

• finished digital data that needs to be converted to the correct format 
• inconsistent data from various information systems 
• old paper documents stored in a box 
• rough or approximate pencil sketches on a map 

If something is missing or doesn’t make sense, we can also go out into the field. We have surveyors who can locate control points, survey them, and verify their accuracy according to DTM requirements. This is part of the services we offer. 

We are backed by a surveying firm with thirty years of experience in measurement and data processing, with fourteen branches across the country that specialize exclusively in data processing. Thanks to this, we can handle even data that seems unusable at first glance. 

If you’re considering uploading data to DTM and want to know how much it will cost, it makes sense to start with the data itself, not the price list. Contact us. Upload the files you have. We’ll take a look at them and send you a fair final price, with no hidden surprises.
