Topographical Surveys
A topographical survey is a detailed map of the features boundaries and levels of a site. Capturing the the natural and man-made features of the land with high accuracy. It provides the essential accurate ground data that architects, engineers, and planners need when designing buildings, and for things like drainage, access routes, and floor levels.

Site Engineering/Setting out
We carry out numerous surveys every year and site engineering / setting out projects, working alongside Land Owners, Consulting Engineers, Architects, Planners, Project Managers and Contractors. Setting out involves transferring the engineering and architectural design elements from plans onto the actual ground and marking the exact location of each element on the site. This is a crucial part of any construction project (whether it be for the foundations of a house, a new road or for installing utilities) as it ensures that everything on a construction site will be precisely aligned and located according to the design and safety specifications. Precision is crucial and we are dedicated to ensuring that all setting out work is carried out to the highest possible standards. We take pride in the accuracy of our work and our professional approach to the vital role we have in making every project a success.

Measured Building Surveys
A measured building survey provides a precise set of scaled measurements of a properties dimensions and layout that an architects can then design from. It is an important first step whenever any changes or renovations to a building are planned such as for extensions, loft/basement conversions, or for change-of-use and Listed Building Consent applications. We use modern technology to deliver the best most accurate results including 3D laser scanning and, when required, drone photogrammetry for roofs.
