Services
Topographical Surveys
Our topographical surveys form a critical foundation for informed development and land assessment. Using highly accurate on-site equipment, we capture detailed elevation and feature data across each site. Surveys are referenced to national grid coordinates at no additional cost. Technical drawings are produced in clear 2D or 3D formats. We focus on accuracy, efficiency, and dependable delivery.
Measured Building Surveys
We provide Measured Building Surveys that support informed decision-making throughout planning and construction. Our experienced surveyors combine speed with precision, producing detailed internal and external surveys using modern 3D laser scanning technology. Output data can be supplied in digital or paper format, with accuracy meeting demanding professional standards and the specific expectations of every client.
3D Laser Scanning Surveys
We use advanced 3D laser scanning technology to create precise digital representations of structures and environments. The process captures comprehensive spatial detail, enabling flexible outputs such as models, drawings and visual imagery. By combining accuracy with efficiency, our surveys support effective planning, coordination and analysis while reducing time and cost compared with traditional methods.
Underground Detection
We provide non-invasive underground surveys using RFL and GPR to form detailed, digitised images of buried features. Conductive metals are located via magnetic fields, while radar reflections reveal pipes, cables, voids and structural elements. Results are visualised on site for immediate clarity. Our skilled surveyors ensure dependable outputs that support safe planning and pre-construction analysis.
GPS Land Surveys
Our GPS Land Surveys provide accurate, real-time spatial data suitable for large-scale and complex sites. By utilising advanced GPS equipment, we collect high volumes of information efficiently, even where traditional sight lines are obstructed. The resulting data aligns with Ordnance Survey mapping, supporting informed decision making and long-term spatial analysis.
Drone Surveys (UAV surveys & aerial mapping)
Our drone surveying service delivers rapid, high-quality aerial data to support planning, design, construction and asset management requirements. UAV surveys are effective across expansive sites and operational environments, particularly where ground access presents safety or practical constraints. Outputs may comprise georeferenced imagery, surface and terrain models, contours and detailed 3D representations. Information can be combined with ground control and traditional surveys and supplied in CAD or GIS-ready formats.
Setting Out Engineers
Our Setting Out service provides skilled engineers to accurately deliver construction and civil engineering works. We set out elements to design coordinates and levels, maintain robust site control, and carry out ongoing checks. Typical activities include foundations, drainage, structural frames and highways works, supported by clear communication with site teams to minimise rework.
Rebar Surveys
Our Rebar Surveys accurately detect reinforcement within concrete through specialist non-invasive scanning methods. The service is routinely undertaken before drilling, cutting or fixing works to minimise structural risk. We verify reinforcement position, spacing and cover when records are unclear. Results are presented as marked-up outputs and an explanatory report for informed decision-making.
CCTV Surveys
Our CCTV Survey service offers a thorough inspection of drainage and pipework to evaluate condition, confirm system connectivity and highlight emerging defects. Advanced camera equipment allows us to identify problems including deformation, cracking, root intrusion, displaced joints, obstructions and structural damage. The surveys are widely used for pre-purchase assessments, asset condition reviews, drainage verification and construction monitoring. Reporting includes video evidence, inspection data and a structured condition report.
Land Surveys
We deliver accurate, up-to-date land surveys to support planning, development, feasibility and design. Our experienced surveyors work across projects of varying scale, from individual plots to complex infrastructure. We advise on appropriate specifications and capture detailed site data. Each survey is tailored through close collaboration, ensuring reliable outputs aligned to your objectives.
CAD Bureau / AutoCAD Services
Our CAD bureau delivers structured AutoCAD drawing services that support precise and well-managed project records. We integrate seamlessly with existing CAD frameworks, respecting established standards, templates and layering conventions. Typical work includes topographic and building drawings, as-built documentation, schedules, plan compliance, updates and standardisation. We also generate CAD drawings from survey data, issuing files in DWG, DXF and PDF formats.
Point Cloud Delivery
Our point cloud delivery service provides high-density spatial datasets produced from terrestrial and aerial surveys. We register and coordinate scan data to agreed project controls before issuing files ready for design and BIM environments. Deliverables may include georeferenced point clouds, segmented datasets and supporting views, supplied in suitable formats with clear structure and version control.
Area Calculation
We provide precise area calculations derived from our measured building and topographical survey data. This service supports land, buildings, rooms, gardens, and related spaces. Our surveyor also records levels to assist volume calculations for construction materials. Accurate measurements enable informed purchasing decisions, helping minimise excess materials and unnecessary costs.
