What Our Surveys Include

Our surveys provide a comprehensive picture of the land, including:

  • Ground level features: Buildings, walls, fences, manhole covers, and other structures.

  • Height information: Ridge and eave heights, overhead lines, and boundary heights for design and 3D modelling.

  • Contour lines: Visual representation of the land's shape, showing hills, valleys, and slopes.  

We offer various output formats to suit your needs:

  • 2D and 3D plan drawings  

  • Site sections and volumes

  • Digital terrain models (Autodesk Civil 3D, MX GENIO, LandXML)

  • 3D modeling and Building Information Modeling (BIM)

  • Common file formats: DWG, DXF, CSV, PDF, MOSS GENIO, XYZ

Our surveys adhere to strict industry standards (TSA & RICS) and provide highly accurate data. We can tailor our services to meet your specific project requirements, ensuring timely delivery and exceptional quality.
