Surveying FAQs

Topographic surveys are essential for a wide range of clients, including architects, engineers, construction professionals, property developers, and government agencies. They are crucial for anyone planning to develop or modify land or structures. A topographic survey provides detailed information about the natural and man-made features of the land, as well as its contours and elevations. This data supports planning and design, so the design team can account for the terrain, drainage and existing features. It can also support environmental studies and landscaping design.

The duration of a surveying project depends on its complexity and size. Once we understand your specific needs, we can provide a more accurate timeline. However, we always strive to complete projects efficiently without compromising on accuracy.

After a survey is completed, we provide the agreed deliverables and answer follow-up questions about the survey data. Design, engineering and planning decisions based on the survey remain with your designer, engineer or planner.

Ground elevations, contours and the visible features on the site, such as buildings, paving, trees, visible utilities and drainage, all tied to a known elevation. Buried utilities are shown from locate marks only when the scope requires them.

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.

An as-built survey documents the actual position and elevation of construction after it has been installed or completed, so it can be compared with the design drawings.
