Business Details
We have been delivering professional land surveying services in the UK and overseas since 1989. Our practice is led by John Phillips FRICS MAE, a highly experienced surveyor elected to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors in 1997. John also holds membership in the Academy of Experts, the professional body for expert witnesses in the United Kingdom and globally. Specialising in boundary disputes and demarcation, we provide expert witness services founded upon rigorous surveying and dispute resolution qualifications. We have assisted the Registrar of Lands for the Cayman Islands in determining boundary disputes and completed the Institute of Legal Executives Higher National Diploma in Land Law. Throughout our career, we have played a key role in major civil engineering projects such as the Millennium Dome, the Channel Tunnel Rail Link and the Hungerford Millennium Bridge.
Our project management skills and diverse surveying disciplines enable accurate bridge and bored tunnel alignment as well as structural deformation monitoring on public and railway lands. We have established a GPS infrastructure for the Cayman Islands, including three CORS stations and an islandwide RTK service that allowed private licensed land surveyors to use GPS for the first time. We also created a national hydrographic survey resource for the islands, culminating in the bathymetric survey of the nearcoastal waters. Our consultancy services cater to both UK and international clients, offering boundary, topographic, engineering, measured building and GPS surveying solutions. We remain committed to delivering precise, impartial, and legally compliant outcomes that protect our clients' interests.

Services
Boundary Dispute Resolution
Boundary Dispute Resolution addresses contentious property lines, providing definitive evidence for courts and stakeholders. We conduct detailed site investigations, produce largescale plans and expert reports that clarify ownership and mitigate litigation risks. Our seasoned experience ensures accurate, impartial outcomes that protect clients' interests.
Topographic Surveying
Topographic Surveying captures the terrain's contours and features, enabling precise design and construction planning. We employ advanced GPS and laser scanning to generate largescale plans, volume calculations, and condition assessments for civil, infrastructure, and environmental projects. The resulting data supports accurate budgeting, risk management, and regulatory compliance.
GPS Surveying
GPS Surveying utilises satellite positioning to deliver highaccuracy spatial data for land, construction, and asset management. Our bespoke network, including CORS stations, ensures centimetrelevel precision across the UK and Caribbean. The detailed outputs aid in boundary verification, design optimisation, and longterm monitoring.
Hydrographic Surveying
Hydrographic Surveying maps water bodies, charting depths, currents, and seabed conditions vital for maritime and coastal projects. We conduct bathymetric surveys using sonar and GPS, producing accurate charts for navigation, environmental assessment, and dredging planning. Our work supports compliance with regulatory standards and enhances safety for marine operations.
Expert Witness
Expert Witness services combine professional surveying skills with legal expertise to provide authoritative testimony and reports in boundary, construction, and environmental disputes. We present clear, evidencebased findings to tribunals, courts, and regulatory bodies, ensuring factual accuracy and impartiality. Our recognised qualifications, including FRICS and Academy of Experts membership, underpin the credibility of our submissions.
