Resources — frequently asked
Who writes these articles?
The people actually on-site — engineers and surveyors from our own team, not a marketing writer working from generic industry sources.
How often do you publish?
New posts go up as real projects generate something worth writing about — not on a fixed schedule filled with generic content.
Can I ask a question that turns into a future post?
Yes — send it through the Contact page; recurring questions from real clients are exactly where these posts come from.
Do these posts cover topics outside your own services?
Mostly not — each post ties back to a real decision made on an Intera Survey project, so the scope stays close to what we actually do.
Are the figures and examples in these posts real?
Yes, with the same anonymization rule as our case studies — real figures, no identifying client detail.
