A Topographical survey provides your project with an accurate map of your development site, including information such as the situation of nearby buildings, trees and drainage systems.
These surveys provide your contractors with a visual representation of the site layout and assist in outlining the boundaries. They also help to determine any discrepancies between the original plans and the actual site conditions. A topographical survey is essential for the development or modification of land.
Our professional Cambridge surveyors administer our surveys using the latest Leica Total Stations, GNSS equipment and 3D laser scanners to best practice. Our top of the range technology allows Fosse Surveying to produce accurate and to scale surveys, significantly minimising the risk of human error.
Once your site has been processed, our specialist AutoCAD equipment will produce 2D and 3D illustrations complete with the site’s measurements. These will be accessible in a variety of formats including DX, DWG and PDF.
All of our Cambridge projects are conducted in accordance with the standards of the royal institute of chartered surveyors (RICS).
Topographical surveys can unearth potential issues that may not have been discovered during the planning process, helping the overall management of your project. This process can prohibit the development of costly errors, saving you time and money in the long run.
Having knowledge of the foundations underneath your infrastructure is critical to ensuring its stability and durability. Outlining your property’s boundaries safeguards you against ownership disputes and provides a historical record of the Cambridge site.
