If the survey requirement requests that all co-ordinates are related to the Ordnance Survey grid we can provide a survey using the following criteria:

• We use the Smart Net correction service offered by Leica Geosystems to relate all data to Ordnance Survey grid.
• Heights above sea level are also calculated using the GPS system.
• For large open areas collection of data is faster than using the robotic instrument.
• A primary use of GPS is for flood risk assessment , which is a minimum requirement by the Environment Agency
• Large schemes divided into multi land parcel projects are usually related to the GPS system.

This type of survey would usually be required for the following:

• If a large volume of spoil, top soil or large soft area needs to be calculated we can create a 3D model using our survey software.
• Drawings are produced in AutoCAD (DWG) and PDF formats in either electronic and / or paper form and sent to the design consultant / client.
• Common uses are for large civil engineering projects with cut and fill calculations and large voids such as lakes or ponds.

If you are buying or selling a plot of land, a small inexpensive boundary survey will usually suffice showing all boundaries and existing buildings. They are often required if a rear garden is to be developed.

If you have a plot of land, a property you are selling or a commercial premise that is not registered then we can produce a fully compliant plan recognized by the Land Registry

• Surveys are carried out by our total station equipment and include the required detail showing the boundaries, buildings, adjacent roads and dimensions for registration.
• Drawings are plotted as an AutoCAD drawing and shown in colour for ease of use.
• Drawings are issued to the client either by e-mail or post in PDF or paper form.

Upon completion of a project there is often a requirement for an “as built” survey. These could be use for:

• Road adoptions
• Land Registry or legal reasons.
• Drainage works / diversions
• Client / clerk of works requirements.
• Local Authority requirements.
• During construction when the various elements need to piece together. A "check" survey is all that is required.
