Across the lifetime of your project, the savings are potentially huge. Some of the reasons are:

Using SnakeGrid on a project means one grid for all data, enabling the seamless combination of terrestrial survey data, GNSS control surveys, aerial surveys, point clouds, and so on – instead of having lots of separate coordinate systems for different elements of the engineering work, for survey data, for information modelling, and so on.

Integrating the data means easier updating and re-use of data for different phases of a project – “survey once, use many times”. It improves the ease of asset management through having clearly identified coordinate systems for all data, now and for years into the future, and through being able to combine information on fixed assets with topographic survey data, GIS with CAD data – analysing integrated data sets for better decision making.

Having a clearly defined 1:1 relationship between the design and the reality on the ground is also about quality control – no need for potentially expensive misunderstandings as a coordinate system changes in the middle of an engineering design, no need to apply confusing scale factor corrections to survey data.
