GIS/GeoAI Lead: Golf Mapping System, Henley Pilot & 2,000-Course Rollout

We are developing an editorial golf app and are looking for a senior geospatial/remote sensing engineer, GeoAI specialist or small specialist team to build and operate a repeatable course-mapping workflow. We particularly welcome proposals from India-based engineers and teams. We already have an established artistic map style, reusable tree and surface assets, and an existing renderer. Your work is to obtain and classify reliable geographic features, integrate the resulting layers with that renderer, and take responsibility for mapping quality and implementation. The aim is a commercially practical system for approximately 2,000 UK golf courses, with limited routine manual work and explicit exception handling. Propose the most effective combination of structured geographic data, suitable aerial imagery, height data, automation and qualified mapping review. Explain where automation is reliable and where human intervention remains necessary. TWO FIXED-PRICE PROPOSALS REQUIRED A. System build and complete Henley benchmark: design and implement the reusable workflow and demonstrate it on all 18 holes of Henley Golf Club, Harpsden, including the agreed surrounding map extent. Deliver the geographic layers, an integrated artistic result, source code, configuration, documentation, processing records and correction log. The owner will assess the completed map against the aerial references. If preferred, itemise the Henley benchmark separately within this proposal. B. One-off UK implementation: quote a separate fixed total for implementing the agreed system across the agreed portfolio of 2,000 UK courses. Include source preparation, processing, integration, mapping review, exception handling and correction of delivery defects. Count Henley once if it is included in the portfolio. Propose sensible batch milestones within the total, with assumptions and exclusions stated explicitly. REQUIRED MAPPING The agreed map boundaries should include supported trees and woodland, sparse individual trees, heather and other low ground cover, tee platforms, greens, fairways, bunkers, water, paths, roads, railways, buildings and parking areas. Separate true crown bodies from cast shadows, and low vegetation from trees. Preserve real clearings, natural boundaries and meaningful small features. Identify uncertainty, missing data and source-date conflicts explicitly. Deliver editable, geographically registered feature layers such as GeoJSON or GeoPackage and the agreed integration into our existing renderer. Preserve the established visual style and intact asset proportions. Routine quality control and investigation of omissions must be owned by you or your team; the client will provide course knowledge and final acceptance. COMMERCIAL AND HANDOVER REQUIREMENTS Itemise development, data, computing and mapping-review costs. Disclose any subscriptions, renewals, ongoing charges or paid services needed to keep delivered maps available, including offline/downloaded use. State what remains usable if a third-party licence or your engagement ends. No recurring cost is to be assumed acceptable without agreement. Propose sources and tools with appropriate commercial-use rights. Supply the project-specific code, configurations and documentation needed for our developers to operate and maintain the system, together with third-party dependencies and licence requirements. Distinguish custom deliverables from pre-existing third-party software and data. In your proposal, provide relevant examples of production aerial-feature extraction or land-cover classification, your intended approach, both fixed-price totals, proposed milestones and timeline, and the expected human review effort per course. Explain how the method handles both parkland and heathland courses and how you would demonstrate that it generalises beyond Henley. Please use existing portfolio evidence in your application; no unpaid bespoke sample is requested. We are requesting proposals at this stage, with scope, pricing and acceptance criteria to be agreed before any contract starts.
