What is a topographical survey?

A Topographical Survey (Land Survey) is a key component of any design process for any planned development of an area. It is used by many, from architects, civil engineers, developers, builders and private individuals.

A topographical survey maps the boundaries, building footprints of existing and neighbouring structures, drainage, trees, ground surface types and levels of a site, plus many more features that vary from site to site.

At Fosse Surveying, our trusted and experienced topographical surveyors deliver accurate drawings using the latest technology in the industry to allow for confident site designs and plans.

Our team is on hand to provide advice on a variety of topographic surveys, topological surveys, and land survey issues, including the most suitable survey option for your site, important questions about how the survey works and a full breakdown of a topographical survey cost.

What are the benefits of a Topographical Survey?

  • Getting the right information early in the planning stage of a project, whether it's a topographic survey, a topological survey, or any other land survey, can save time and money.
  • Topographical land surveys help to manage your project by uncovering any potential issues or barriers that may not have been accounted for in the initial plans. This process saves a considerable amount of time and allows for contingencies to be put in place to prevent costly mistakes.
  • The outline of your property’s boundaries is defined during a topographical land survey, providing a historical record of the plot and tangible evidence of your ownership if challenged.
  • We only utilise highly skilled topographic land surveyors to ensure you receive the best solution for your site.
