Topographic Surveys
Topographical survey, or more commonly know, land surveyors are like Ordnance Survey maps but much more detailed showing all detail.
Topographic surveys are usually carried out in order to have an accurate record of the existing conditions of a parcel of land that is about to undergo some type of construction activity or alteration and are used by many people from the general public, civil engineers, developers, builders and architects.
Civil Engineers use a topographic survey at the beginning surface of their design and then plan what the proposed final surface will be like. Having this original surface allows the Engineer to calculate the amount of earthwork that might be needed to bring the site to the final grade.
The Engineer can also balance the earthwork so that dirt need not be taken off the site or brought onto the site.
An Architect uses the topographic survey to identify boundaries, ground features and levels on site that could potentially dictate their ideas and designs Trees, drainage, retaining walls and much more can all play a huge part in the design stage. Architects may also plot the surface in three-dimensions to get an idea of the finished look of the site with the improvements. This may be used in a presentation to the owner of the land, or the public in a public meeting.
All our prices are for a full specification topographic survey so no detail is missed out on site.
