Construction Surveys

Surveys for every stage of a construction project

Construction Surveys

We support contractors and developers from the first site survey to the final as-built record. Topographic surveys and laser scans provide the base for design, regular drone flights record progress and earthworks volumes, and GNSS and total station checks confirm that what has been built matches the design.

Challenges in the Construction Sector

Construction sites change every day. Keeping an accurate record of progress, quantities and as-built positions is difficult from the ground, and errors found late are expensive to fix. Surveys need to happen quickly and safely without stopping work on site.

Survey Technology for Construction

Our drones capture photogrammetry and LiDAR over the whole site, usually without the need to stop works, producing orthophotos, 3D models and volume calculations. On the ground we use GNSS, total station and laser scanning for precise setting-out checks, as-built surveys and surveys of existing buildings. Data is delivered as 2D CAD, 3D models and point clouds, ready to compare against your design model.

Services for Construction Surveys

Drone Survey

Regular aerial photogrammetry and LiDAR to record progress and volumes across the whole site, without stopping works.

Photogrammetry Survey

Accurate 3D models and orthophotos of the site from overlapping drone imagery.

Structural Inspection

Detailed inspection of bridges, buildings and structures, with defects recorded for engineers to assess.

Topographical Survey

Levels, contours and site features measured with GNSS, total station and drone, delivered as CAD drawings and 3D models.

Point Cloud Survey

Terrestrial laser scanning and drone LiDAR captured as a measured 3D point cloud for design and as-built records.

Why Choose Us for Construction Surveys?

We work around your programme, deliver data quickly and keep surveyors out of harm’s way. Through our sister company Matrix Consulting Engineers, we can also provide temporary works, structural and civil engineering design from the same survey data.
