A good survey saves money later. It gives designers an accurate base to work from and helps the build team avoid surprises on site.

Share the site address, the approximate area, what the survey is for and the output you need. We will confirm the scope and deliverables before work starts.

Topographical surveys

Topographical surveys record the levels, boundaries, buildings and visible features of a site, giving an accurate base for architects, engineers, planning applications and construction.

  • Site levels and contours
  • Boundaries, buildings and visible features
  • Trees, drainage covers and services visible at ground level
  • Digital drawings to the agreed brief

Utility surveys

Utility surveys locate and map buried services such as cables, pipes and drains before digging starts, reducing the risk of strikes, delays and redesign.

  • Detection and mapping of buried services
  • Marking out on site before excavation
  • Drawings that combine with topographical surveys
  • Survey method and detail agreed up front

Setting out

Setting out marks the design on the ground so foundations, drainage and structures go exactly where the drawings say.

  • Building and foundation setting out
  • Levels and reference points
  • Drainage and road setting out
  • Checks as the job progresses

FAQs

Topographical & utility surveys: common questions

What is the difference between a topographical and a utility survey?

A topographical survey maps what is on and above the ground, such as levels, boundaries and buildings. A utility survey finds and maps what is buried, such as cables, pipes and drains.

Do I need a topographical survey for planning?

Many architects and planning applications need one as an accurate base for the design. Your architect can confirm what they need.

What format will I receive?

Survey outputs are agreed before work starts, so the information arrives in a format your designer or contractor can use.
