Topographical Survey
A topographical survey is a type of survey that is used to produce a detailed map or plan of the natural and man-made features of a site. The purpose of a topographical survey is to provide accurate and up-to-date information about the shape, contours, and features of a site, including the location of buildings, roads, utilities, and other infrastructure.
​
A topographical survey typically involves the use of specialized surveying equipment, such as total stations and GPS receivers, to measure the position and elevation of features on the site. The survey may also include the use of other data sources, such as aerial photography and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data, to supplement the survey data.
​
The results of a topographical survey are presented in the form of a topographical map or plan, which is a detailed representation of the site that includes contour lines, spot heights, and other features. Topographical surveys are an important tool for a variety of applications, including land development, infrastructure planning, and environmental assessment.

Measured Building Survey
A measured building survey is a detailed and accurate representation of a building's physical features and structure. These surveys are essential for capturing precise internal and external dimensions of a building, including walls, windows, doors, structural elements, and architectural features.
​
Measured building surveys are typically carried out using advanced surveying equipment such as laser scanners, total stations, and digital measuring tools. In some cases, 3D laser scanning or photogrammetry may be used to enhance accuracy and speed, particularly for complex or historic structures.
​
The final deliverables can include floor plans, elevations, cross-sections, and reflected ceiling plans, all produced to scale and tailored to the client's requirements. These surveys are vital for architects, engineers, and developers for purposes such as renovation, refurbishment, structural analysis, and planning applications.
​
Measured building surveys provide a reliable foundation for informed decision-making in both design and construction processes.
