Grid Lines
Any Architectural or Engineering design generally involves the establishment of grid lines which are then used by contractors to ‘set-out internal walls, columns, services, external facades etc. Generally grid lines will be set out on site when we are establishing level datums and other works prior to commencement of the construction. Quite often as these lines will go through the columns or piles, these grid lines can be set out with convenient offsets.

‘As Built’ Surveys
We can provide details and plans of the project including the “as constructed” stage of works, i.e. these “as built” surveys are very useful to determine whether the construction tolerances have been met, for instance, lift shaft verticality, the levelling of floors and accuracy of the ‘service holes’ within the site are a few instances that come to mind.
A subset of the layout of buildings, but fundamentally distinct, piles are the stress points of any good design and precise location is crucial and cannot simply be corrected at a later stage. Naturally we take great care with all our work and consider thorough checking of all work and data to be a large part of the finished process. For this we prefer to have access to all electronic data from the architects and consulting engineers to verify that all the information “fits” together before we go to site.

Topographical Surveys
Topographical Surveys are used to establish and describe the ‘undulations’ or contours of the ground being surveyed including exact positioning of features on and around the area being mapped. Features such as trees, buildings, pathways, roads, gullies, manholes, utility poles, walls, etc are accurately surveyed. Topographical Surveys are commonly used for; record mapping, boundaries, building positioning, property sale, planning permission and many more. Provision of the above information can be issued in 3 dimensions for input into a BIM system for total management of a building or construction project.
We carry out all topographical surveys in accordance with the standard ‘Topographical Survey Specifications’ as set by The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), the Land Surveyor and the Architect (LSA) and the Manual of Contract Documents for Highways Works, Volume 5, Section 1, Highway Agency and Department of Transport.
