Here at Fosse Surveying, we can provide your project with a topographical survey, which is a clear and accurate representation of your intended or existing project site. It identifies and maps the contours, gradients and general shape of the land as well as existing structures, drainage and trees within close proximity to your project site.
Our topographical surveys in Luton will help you to visualise the layout of the land you intend to develop and aid with the outlining of the development’s boundaries. They also help to identify any discrepancies between the actual foundation and the proposed plans.
Topographical surveys are essential for architects or civil engineers who intend to develop or modify land and it’s important that you understand the land before building a new site or an existing one, to ensure its durability. A topographical survey is shown as a three-dimensional illustration of all features, including the property, land features and physical boundary details, which are presented on a scaled survey drawing.
We use state-of-the-art Leica Total Stations, GNSS equipment and the highest-performing 3D laser scanners to provide efficient and accurate topographical surveys. We aim to eliminate the risk of human error, which is why we use the latest industry technology, equipment and innovations.
Once we have processed the site with our equipment, the scans are uploaded to our AutoCAD software, which then produces a 2D and 3D sketch of the dimensions on-site, which any architect or civil engineer will require. We provide all sketches in a variety of formats, including DX, DWG and PDF.
Every Luton project we take on is conducted to the standards of The Royal Institute Of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

Topographical surveys can unearth any issues that may not have been discovered or taken into account, helping to plan and put steps in place to manage your site. A topographical survey can save a considerable amount of time and money, due to avoiding errors further down the line.
Having experience and knowledge on the lay of the land is an important factor in enabling your site foundations to last for many years. Having a clear outline of a property boundary is essential, to avoid any disputes in the future. It also provides a historical record of your Luton site.
