Services
Land/Topographical Surveying
Our land surveying services create detailed 2D and 3D plans for construction and redevelopment projects. Using GPS and total stations, we map terrain features and elevations with millimetre precision. Our surveys support infrastructure planning, site analysis, and volume calculations for clients across the construction industry.
3D Laser Scanning
We employ Leica C10 ScanStation technology to capture millions of data points per second, creating accurate 3D point clouds of structures and landscapes. This non-intrusive method provides detailed digital models for architectural analysis, engineering assessments, and heritage preservation projects without compromising traditional survey accuracy.
Boundary Issues
Our boundary resolution service combines GPS technology with Ordnance Survey mapping to clarify property lines and resolve disputes. We produce detailed reports comparing physical boundaries with Land Registry title plans, supporting first registrations, land transfers, and sub-division projects across residential and commercial properties.
Structural Monitoring
We implement precision monitoring systems for short-term assessments and long-term structural analysis. Using repeatable measurement techniques, we track movements in buildings, coastal defences, and infrastructure projects. Our fixed-fee programmes include regular site visits and detailed reporting for clients requiring ongoing stability assessments.
Measured Building Surveys
Our measured building surveys produce accurate floor plans, elevations, and cross-sections for existing structures. Using laser technology and traditional methods, we document internal dimensions and architectural features to support renovation projects, lease plans, and building information modelling (BIM) requirements.
