On the advice of his hardware supplier, Mr Robertson engaged with Aptella to implement MAGNET Office software into his workflow.

“We used to outsource this work but decided to do it internally. We now use MAGNET office to set out the roading strings and do the as-built files for the project,” said Mr Robertson.
