Topographical Surveys

Accurate land and site data for planning, design and construction, captured using the right survey method for the site and delivered ready for your project team.

01/What we deliver

Accurate site information, clearly structured.

Outputs are agreed around the project brief, required accuracy and downstream use.

  • 01Topographical survey drawings2D and 3D site information for planning and design.
  • 02Levels, contours and site featuresIncluding roads, boundaries, structures, vegetation and visible drainage.
  • 03Survey control and coordinate dataEstablished where required for the wider project.
  • 04Project-ready digital outputsDWG, DXF and PDF.
02/Surveyed around the project

The right tools for the right end goal.

The method is selected around site scale, required accuracy, access and how the data will be used. Where needed, topographical surveying is coordinated with drone, point cloud and measured building capture as one survey approach.
