Start with the information your design team needs.

Topographic surveys

Understand the ground
and the features around it.

We record site levels and visible physical features within the agreed extent, then prepare information for the project team.

Ground form

We measure ground levels within the agreed area and show them in the survey drawings or digital files.

Built features & surfaces

We record the visible structures, access routes, surfaces and other physical features included in the brief.

Landscape features

Trees and other visible site features are included where specified in the survey scope.

Drawing preparation

Field information is organized into the agreed drawing or digital deliverable, with relevant notes.

Ground form, structures, access and trees bring different parts of the site into one view.

The extent matters.

Tell us where the design work is taking place and which surrounding features the team needs to understand. Access and the survey extent are agreed before fieldwork.

project needs to know.

The site, the design stage and the information needed by your team give the survey its scope.
