Topographic surveys

Receive accurate topographical surveys for large, complex projects

Mapping your site and its features is normally the first stage of any development project, which is why it is important to cost your topographic survey into your project.

When you commission your topographical survey from us, you are always guaranteed to receive an accurate measured survey completed correctly the first time, which you can trust due to our 35 years of experience.

With nationwide coverage and five regional offices, we have the scale of resources and capacity to respond and deliver large, complex projects or multiple site survey programmes.

Collaboratively working with survey experts to avoid unwanted data & high costs

Starting with early-stage detailed discussions, we provide practical advice and support based on 35 years of experience. We develop your site survey brief to ensure the resulting topographical survey quote meets your specific technical requirements and contains the relevant information for your project. By openly sharing their knowledge, you’ll get the right technical advice you need with our surveying experts.

We ensure you receive the correct survey for the work you are undertaking; safeguarding against unnecessary costs for collecting unwanted data or for the need to commission expensive additional surveys to obtain missing data.

Avoid project delays with the latest technology to get fast, accurate results

Our topographic surveyors are equipped with the latest GPS, Total Station and laser scanning measuring instruments. They employ both traditional surveying techniques and the latest laser technologies.

Adhering to professional quality standards, we work to:

  • RICS and TSA professional codes
  • An ethos of “always right first time”
  • BS 1192 for BIM-ready survey services
  • Our own exacting ISO 9001 quality standards

You can always trust the information you receive, which is why we have established long term relationships with so many of our clients.

Topographical data delivered straight to your desktop in many digital formats

Our surveyors prepare your survey data in a 2D or 3D CAD format which can be incorporated into a BIM model if required. All survey data is delivered directly to your desktop, ready for you to start work.

Our in-house team is able to provide your topographic information in a number of digital formats including GIS, .shp, .tab, .bds and other file formats.

We also import other digital information supplied by you, by migrating this information from pdf to CAD format. The completed OS data maps are supplied to you in a CAD file format, scaled to suit your requirements and containing your corporate branding if desired.
