Land Surveying Services

Topographical surveys are crucial for understanding how a site is formed and how it functions. They support design and development work, help assess drainage and ground levels, identify physical constraints or obstacles, and provide reliable data for planning, engineering and land management decisions.

An underground utility survey identifies, locates and maps buried services including water pipes, gas mains, electrical cables, drainage systems and telecommunications lines. Using specialist detection equipment and established survey techniques, it provides accurate information before excavation or development works take place.

Underground utility surveys are essential for preventing accidental strikes during excavation or construction works. By accurately locating buried services, they help protect worker safety, avoid service outages, reduce the risk of costly damage and minimise delays to projects.

A measured building survey is a detailed survey that records accurate internal and external measurements of an existing building. It typically produces floor plans, elevations and sections that are used for design, renovation, planning applications, space planning or general documentation of a property’s layout and structure.

Measured building surveys provide accurate and reliable information about a building’s dimensions, features and spatial layout. This detail is essential for effective design work, planning applications, refurbishment projects and construction, helping architects, engineers and contractors work from a precise and consistent baseline.

Photogrammetry is a surveying technique that uses overlapping photographs, commonly captured by drone or camera, to calculate accurate measurements and generate detailed 3D models, maps and representations of terrain, buildings or structures. The results are often used for design, planning, monitoring change and documenting existing conditions.

In land surveying, photogrammetry is used to generate accurate 3D models of terrain, buildings and surface features from overlapping photographs. These models provide valuable data for analysis, visualisation, design work, planning applications, volume calculations and monitoring changes across a site over time.

3D laser scanning is a surveying technology that uses laser beams to capture millions of precise measurements, known as point cloud data. This information forms a highly accurate 3D representation of buildings, structures or environments and is widely used for design, measured surveys, conservation work, construction planning and documentation.

3D laser scanning offers highly accurate measurement and visualisation of complex buildings, structures and terrain. The resulting point cloud data supports as-built documentation, clash detection, design coordination, volume calculations and heritage preservation. It provides a precise digital record that improves analysis, planning and decision-making across a wide range of surveying applications.

Heritage surveys involve the detailed recording and assessment of historic buildings, structures and sites. Using measured surveys, photography and specialist documentation techniques, they support conservation work, repairs, planning applications and long-term preservation by providing an accurate record of the existing fabric and features.

Heritage surveys are essential for the proper conservation and long-term protection of historic buildings and sites. By recording the existing fabric, condition and features in detail, they provide a reliable basis for repairs, planning applications, maintenance planning and heritage management. This documentation helps ensure that significant structures are preserved and understood for future generations.

HDR panoramic imagery combines multiple photographs taken at different exposure levels to create a high-resolution, immersive 360-degree view of a location. This technique provides exceptional detail, balanced lighting and accurate visual representation, making it useful for documentation, visualisation, virtual tours and recording site conditions.

HDR panoramic imagery is used in land surveying to document existing site conditions with high clarity and balanced lighting. It provides valuable visual context for design teams, supports reporting and record-keeping, and can enhance presentations or client communications by offering an immersive and accurate view of a location.

GIS data capture involves collecting, organising and integrating information from multiple sources—such as land survey data, satellite imagery, aerial photography and existing records—into a Geographic Information System (GIS). This allows accurate mapping and analysis of assets, infrastructure and land features, supporting effective planning, management and decision-making.

GIS data capture and asset mapping allow land surveyors to manage, analyse and visualise large volumes of geospatial information with accuracy and efficiency. This supports better decision-making, helps identify spatial patterns, assists with asset management, evaluates environmental constraints and provides valuable insight for land development and infrastructure projects.

Large-scale GNSS surveys use Global Navigation Satellite Systems (such as GPS, GLONASS or Galileo) to determine precise positions, levels and measurements across extensive geographic areas. This technique provides accurate coordinate control for mapping, engineering work, topographical surveys and large development or infrastructure projects.

Large-scale GNSS surveys are used wherever highly accurate positioning over large areas is required. They support regional mapping, engineering and construction projects, infrastructure planning, boundary control, geospatial analysis and national-scale survey frameworks. The precise coordinate data produced helps ensure consistency and accuracy across wide geographic extents.
