Major Grubert is often mislabeled as simply a "surveying company." In reality, its services span the entire project lifecycle:

If there is a critique to be made, it is that the story can feel slightly by-the-numbers. Because it is so dedicated to honoring the classics, it rarely takes risks. The plot moves steadily but relies on tropes that seasoned comic readers will recognize immediately. However, for fans of the genre, this familiarity is often a feature, not a bug.

Operating in Thailand presents unique challenges: monsoonal rains that wash away benchmarks, soft marine clay that shifts unpredictably, and dense urban sprawl where GPS signals are jammed by skyscrapers.

Major Grubert has addressed these by investing heavily in Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS). In 2022, they launched a proprietary mobile mapping van equipped with 360-degree cameras and inertial navigation systems capable of surveying 200 kilometers of highway per day with sub-centimeter accuracy.

The post-COVID construction boom in Thailand has been a double-edged sword. Rising material costs and labor shortages have squeezed margins, but Major Grubert has weathered the storm via diversification.
