Construction Surveying: Site Control, Layout and Elevation Checks
We provide construction surveying for builders, contractors and construction companies across Southern Ontario: site control, building and foundation layout, elevation checks before each pour, and progress measurements as the job moves forward.
Construction Layout & Infrastructure Staking
Geo Vision Surveying Inc provides construction layout and staking for residential, commercial and industrial projects. We help builders and contractors transfer client-provided engineering plans to the site, with survey scope and required tolerances agreed for each project.
Our Core Construction Capabilities:
- Building & Industrial Layout: Accurate gridline, foundation, and anchor bolt placement for residential, commercial, and industrial structures.
- Bridge & Structural Infrastructure: Surveying support for defined bridge and structural layout packages, based on supplied engineering plans and agreed project requirements.
- Roads & Linear Infrastructure: Precision staking for road centerlines, curb and gutter, and underground utilities (storm, water, and sanitary).
- Earthwork & Grading: Grade checks, elevation measurements and staking to support excavation and grading work in accordance with supplied design plans. Before any digging, the excavating contractor or owner requests utility locates through Ontario Dig Authority (formerly Ontario One Call).
- Why Contractors Choose Geo Vision Surveying Inc: Using robotic total stations and GNSS equipment, we provide layout and elevation checks to support construction work. Contact us with your site location, drawings and schedule so we can confirm the survey scope and availability.
Note: All layout work is performed based on client-provided engineering plans. We can contract an Ontario Land Surveyor on your behalf.
See this work on real sites: bridge construction layout in Brantford, footing layout in Hamilton and foundation layout in Hagersville. Before layout we often start with topographic surveys, and we finish with as-built surveys and grading surveys.
Questions about construction surveying
What is a construction layout survey?
It’s the survey that transfers your approved drawings onto the ground, marking building corners, offsets and elevations so the excavator and form crew build in the right place.
Can you check elevations before a concrete pour?
Yes. We check footing, slab and form elevations against the design before the pour, while changes are still simple to make.
Do you offer construction staking services?
Yes. We stake building corners, offsets, gridlines and grades from your approved drawings.

Surveying Services We Provide
Topographic Surveys
A topographic survey records the ground elevations and visible features of your site, so your designer works from real measurements.

As-Built Surveys
Construction drawings show what was designed. As-built surveying records what was actually built.

Grading Surveys
Grading layout, elevation checks and earthworks surveying for residential lots, commercial sites and construction projects.
