Services
Land Surveying
Our land surveying services provide detailed boundary and site feature analysis using robotic total stations and GPS technology. We identify hazards and restrictions early in the planning process, ensuring architects and engineers can design efficiently. Surveys are delivered digitally in 2D/3D formats, compatible with AutoCAD and other industry software, enabling precise development from inception to completion.
Volumetric Calculations
We conduct volumetric calculations for stockpiles, excavation, and cut/fill operations using digital terrain models. This service is vital for quarries, landfill sites, and infrastructure projects, providing accurate quantity measurements. Data is presented as cross-sections, 3D models, or colour-coded cut/fill visuals, supporting efficient resource management and project planning.
Measured Building Surveys
Our measured building surveys capture precise architectural details, including floor plans, elevations, and structural elements. Using reflectorless total stations, we produce detailed 2D/3D models for commercial and domestic properties. Surveys include features like drainage, windows, and staircases, delivered digitally or as hard copies for renovation or documentation purposes.
Setting Out
Setting out involves translating design drawings into physical site markers for construction accuracy. We extract points directly from AutoCAD files, using advanced instruments to ensure precision in projects like piling, roadworks, and steel structures. This process reduces on-site time and costs while maintaining alignment with architectural specifications.
Elevations
We record building elevations using laser scanning and total stations, producing detailed 2D/3D models. This service captures complex architectural features, ensuring accurate representations for restoration, planning, or compliance purposes. Elevations are provided in digital formats or printed, meeting requirements for commercial and heritage projects.
