Land Surveying
Commissioning a land survey is a vital start to a broad spectrum of projects – and it needs to be conducted quickly, accurately and to deliver as much data as possible to inform the next step.
At Survey Solutions, we have extensive experience of carrying out geomatic surveys, across a range of sectors and for all sizes of project. Harnessing the latest survey technology means we can deliver data quickly, in detail and in different formats.
With our ‘toolbox’ approach, we will advise on the most effective way to achieve your objectives, assessing all relevant factors before starting work.
Our team will then conduct the survey, capturing accurate and detailed data delivered in the optimum format for your project – and providing you with the highest quality output for which we have become known in the industry.

Setting out and site control
Setting out puts the design on the ground. Piles, gridlines, foundations, plots, roads and drainage are all measured from the site control. So the control has to be right before anything is built.
Our site engineers set up the control network, check it and hand it over with the evidence. They then set out to the tolerances on the drawings, record as-built positions as each stage finishes, and come back whenever your programme needs them.
Land Surveying FAQ’s
Land surveying captures accurate positional data about your site so designers and contractors can plan, coordinate and build with confidence—reducing risk, rework and delays.
Our land surveying work commonly includes topographic surveys, LiDAR surveys, mobile mapping and drone surveys to cover large areas quickly. We select our services based on site size, access and the level of detail you need.
Topographic surveys map terrain and features in detail; LiDAR captures dense point-cloud data quickly; mobile mapping is ideal for longer corridors (for example highways or large routes) where rapid capture is critical.
Depending on your brief, we can supply survey drawings and digital survey data in formats that suit your design and construction workflow.
Timescales depend on site size, complexity and access. Our UK wide team can respond rapidly and attend your site quickly. Once we understand your scope and deadlines, we’ll confirm a practical site and delivery programme.
Yes, land surveys are often coordinated with underground utilities, measured building surveys, drone capture or hydrographic work to give you a joined-up dataset.
Yes. We set up and check the control network, set out to the tolerances on the drawings and record as-built positions. Our engineers come back whenever the programme needs them.
