Services
3D Laser Scanning
Our 3D laser scanning service captures precise spatial data using X7 Laser Scanners, creating detailed digital models for construction and renovation projects. This technology enables millimetre-accurate measurements of complex structures, reducing project risks through comprehensive data capture. Ideal for heritage buildings and industrial facilities requiring exact dimensional records.
Measured Building Surveys
We conduct detailed measured building surveys that document existing structures with exceptional accuracy. Using total stations and laser technology, we produce scaled drawings for planning applications, renovations, or property records. Our surveys meet architectural and engineering requirements while remaining accessible to property owners.
UAV Survey Services
Our UAV survey services provide aerial data collection for large sites, offering topographic mapping and progress monitoring. Certified drone operators capture high-resolution imagery and elevation data, particularly valuable for inaccessible areas or extensive land developments across southern England.
Topographical Surveys
We specialise in comprehensive topographical surveys that map terrain features and elevations. These surveys support infrastructure projects, land development, and environmental assessments using advanced surveying equipment. Our detailed data forms the foundation for engineering designs and planning applications.
Site Setting-Out
Our site setting-out services establish precise reference points for construction projects. We translate design plans into physical markers on-site, ensuring accurate implementation of engineering specifications. This service supports utility installations, building foundations, and infrastructure developments across multiple counties.
