Topographical Surveys
Topographical surveys provide a detailed record of the existing site, including levels, boundaries, buildings, structures, vegetation and other key features. The resulting survey gives architects, engineers, developers and contractors accurate information to support design, planning and construction.
What do topographical surveys include?
Depending on the project requirements, a topographical survey can record:
* Site levels and contours
* Buildings and structures
* Boundaries, walls and fencing
* Roads, paths and hardstanding
* Trees, hedges and vegetation
* Drainage and visible utilities
* Any other relevant site features
Why are topographical surveys useful?
A topographical survey provides a reliable picture of the site as it exists at the time of survey. This helps design teams work from accurate information, reduces uncertainty and supports informed decisions before and during a project.
Who are topographical surveys for?
Topographical surveys are used by a wide range of clients and professionals, including architects, developers, engineers, contractors, homeowners and property professionals. Whether supporting a new development, extension, refurbishment or other project, an accurate survey provides a reliable starting point for the work ahead.
What information will you receive?
Following the survey, the information will be provided in a clear digital format – AutoCAD and DWG – 2D or 3D – suitable for use by your architect, engineer, designer or contractor. The level of detail and information recorded will be agreed to suit the requirements of your particular project, so you receive the survey data you actually need.
