Survey Services

Precise, well-presented survey data for architects, homeowners, developers and engineers — captured with modern total station, GNSS and Trimble laser scanning equipment, and delivered in the formats your project calls for. Deliverables are tailored to each commission rather than offered as standard packages.

Service 01

Topographic Surveys

A topographic survey is an accurate drawing of a site showing its levels and physical features — the foundation for almost any design, planning or engineering work.

Surveys are tailored to your project: from a garden plot for a house extension to paddocks and smaller development sites. Detail typically includes ground levels and contours, buildings and structures, boundaries and fence lines, trees and vegetation, roads, paths and drainage covers, and visible services.

Levels and coordinates are related to Ordnance Survey National Grid and datum using GNSS, so your survey ties in seamlessly with OS mapping and other datasets.

Example deliverables

  • 2D and 3D AutoCAD (DWG) drawings
  • PDF plots for printing and issue
  • Levels & contours to OS datum
  • Boundary and feature detail
  • Tree positions, spreads & heights
  • Drainage cover and invert levels
Service 02

Measured Building Surveys

A measured building survey provides accurate drawings of an existing building — the essential starting point for extensions, conversions, refurbishments and work on listed buildings.

Using a reflectorless total station and laser measurement, internal and external detail is captured efficiently with minimal disruption, then drawn up into clear, dimensioned CAD drawings at the level of detail your project requires.

From granite cottages and barns to commercial and agricultural buildings, drawings are produced to suit planning applications, building regulations packages and detailed design.

Example deliverables

  • Floor plans for each storey
  • External & internal elevations
  • Cross sections through the building
  • Roof plans and site/location plans
  • AutoCAD (DWG) and PDF formats
Service 03

3D Laser Scanning & Point Clouds

Using a Trimble 3D laser scanner, sites and buildings are captured as high-density point clouds — millions of accurately measured points that record everything the scanner can see in a single visit.

Laser scanning is ideal where completeness and detail matter: complex or historic buildings, structures with irregular geometry, confined or hard-to-access spaces, and projects where a full 3D record of existing conditions is needed before design begins.

Registered point cloud data can be supplied in standard formats for use in your own CAD or BIM workflows, or I can take it through to finished 2D plans, elevations and sections — whichever suits your project.

Example deliverables

  • Registered, cleaned point clouds
  • Standard formats incl. E57, RCP/RCS & LAS
  • 2D plans, elevations & sections from the cloud
  • Data related to OS grid & datum where required
  • Combined scan + total station surveys
