Construction Surveying Services

What are construction surveying services?

Construction surveying services provide accurate measurement and positional data to guide design, enable precise on-site delivery and verify completed works. They ensure that structures are built in the correct location, at the correct level and to the correct specification.

From early site establishment through to final handover, reliable survey control underpins programme, quality and compliance.

What do construction surveys involve?

• Pre-construction site surveys: Detailed topographical surveys and site mapping to inform design development. Using GNSS, total stations, UAVs and laser scanning, we capture accurate existing conditions to reduce risk before works commence.
• Survey control and setting out: Establishment of robust control networks and precise setting out of foundations, steel frames, drainage, kerb lines and structural elements. We work closely with site engineers & contractors to ensure build accuracy from the ground up.
• Monitoring and deformation surveys: High-precision monitoring of structures, excavations and adjacent assets to detect movement during construction. This provides early warning of potential issues and supports safe project delivery.
• As-built surveys and verification: Measurement and recording of completed works to confirm alignment with design models. Deliverables include 2D CAD drawings, 3D models and BIM-ready datasets to support handover and asset management.
• Utility detection and coordination: PAS 128-compliant underground utility surveys to identify existing services prior to excavation. Accurate utility mapping reduces the risk of clashes, delays and damage.
