Land Surveying & Setting out services

Topographical surveys are carried out to accurately map site features and survey ground levels to provide a 2D or 3D map of the site. The survey data is typically used by architects or engineers to provide information for planning or design purposes. Topographical surveys are typically carried out at a scale of 1:500 with more accurate surveys sometimes needed for more specific applications. Topographical survey information can also be used for providing information on boundaries required for Land Registry Mapping. It is important to use the services of a suitably qualified and experienced survey to carry out this work.
