Services
Land/Topographical Surveying
Our land surveyors create detailed 2D/3D plans for construction projects using traditional and laser scanning methods. We provide accurate terrain models and elevation data for developers and planners. Our surveys support infrastructure projects, environmental assessments and property boundary documentation.
3D Laser Scanning
Using Leica C10 technology, we capture millions of data points per second to create precise 3D models. This non-intrusive method works in varied weather conditions for architectural, engineering and heritage projects. Point cloud data enables detailed analysis of structures and surfaces without physical contact.
Boundary Issues
We resolve property boundary disputes using GPS and total station surveys cross-referenced with Ordnance Survey maps. Our services include lease plans, land subdivision and title registration to prevent future conflicts. We provide expert testimony when required.
Measured Building Surveys
Our team produces accurate floor plans, elevations and cross-sections for existing structures. These surveys support renovation projects, space planning and building information modelling. We use laser technology to capture internal dimensions with millimetre precision.
Structural Monitoring
We implement accuracy-focused monitoring systems for short-term and long-term projects. Our repeatable methodology tracks structural movement, coastal erosion and infrastructure stability. Fixed-fee programmes include flood defence monitoring and annual beach profile assessments.

Report
I just saw the review by Mr Guo, who appears to also write on my behalf (his neighbour)!. I certainly don't endorse the views of Mr Guo. Mike the surveyor has got specialist equipment that links to GPS and satellites to map your property. We used him for a boundary dispute with my neighbour. Mike produced a report of around 15 pages, going into extreme detail. He was also very patient with my neighbour who did not like the boundary decision and spent more time than expected on our case. Very professional and top quality Leica equipment. Thank you.

Report
Avoid! He gave us( neighbor and I) a decision on site, and then U turned when he delivered the report, after pointed out his mistakes, he has very strong ego to admit any of them, and decided he is the god. There is no dimensions in his plan, all lines are bended and massaged, even when you pointed out for him, he found all different excuses.

A superb company and very nice people. Somehow we managed to pay their invoice twice without noticing. RL Surveys called us to let us know and refunded the double payment immediately. Very honest people. Thank you.
