Services
3D Laser Scanning
Our 3D laser scanning service captures precise spatial data using Leica and Faro equipment. We process pointcloud data with specialist software to create accurate 2D CAD plans and 3D BIM models. This technology enables detailed analysis of structures for deformation monitoring and building information modelling.
Topographic Surveys
We conduct topographic surveys using GPS and total station technology to map land features and elevations. Our deliverables include contour plans, terrain models, and volume calculations for construction and infrastructure projects. All surveys can be referenced to Ordnance Survey grid systems.
Measured Building Surveys
Our measured building surveys produce detailed floor plans, elevations, and sections using traditional and laser scanning methods. We create accurate CAD drawings and Revit models for property management, renovation, and heritage recording applications.
Monitoring Surveys
We specialise in structural monitoring for buildings and infrastructure. Our services include verticality checks, crack analysis, and cooling tower deformation monitoring using advanced surveying techniques. We provide comparative analysis between current and historical data.
Boundary Surveys
Our boundary surveys determine legal property boundaries using registered title documents. We produce accurate plans for land registration, resolve boundary disputes, and provide survey data for property transactions and development projects.
