Instrument-grade site surveys;

Without the steel.

From groundworks and setting out to structural frames, brickwork, fit-out and beyond — we provide precise, verified site data that any trade or discipline can build from.

Accurate data for the whole project — not just the steel

A totalstation is the most precise instrument available for site measurement. It captures exact positions, levels, angles and distances across a site in three dimensions — producing data that is repeatable, verifiable and traceable to a fixed datum.

We use this equipment on every project we deliver. The difference is that you don't need to be buying steel from us to benefit from it.

Whether you're a groundworker establishing foundations, a bricklayer setting out a return wall, a contractor checking structural levels, or a designer needing as-built conditions before detailing begins — the same instrument, and the same rigour, applies.

Where Totalstation Surveys Add Value

  • Construction site with an engineer in a yellow safety jacket and white helmet standing next to a green surveying instrument, surveying foundation rebar for a building in progress, with an excavator and workers in the background.

    Groundworks & Foundations

    Setting out foundation positions, pile locations, slab edges and excavation extents from design coordinates — ensuring groundworks are placed accurately before concrete is poured.

  • Construction site with brick walls, scaffolding, and a theodolite on a tripod.

    Brickwork & Masonry

    Setting out brick lines, return walls, opening positions and coursing datums to ensure masonry is built plumb, square and in the right location from the first course up.

  • Construction site with steel framework, a green surveying instrument on a yellow tripod in the foreground, and two workers in safety vests and helmets talking in the background.

    Structural Frames

    Verification of column base positions, beam levels and connection interfaces before and after installation — confirming the structure is within tolerance before follow-on trades begin.

  • Construction site in an unfinished building with metal framing, large windows, and construction tools, including a surveying instrument on tripod and a stack of drywall sheets.

    Fit-out & interiors

    Setting out partition lines, ceiling grids and floor level surveys to support accurate fit-out installation and coordination between interior trades.

  • Low-angle view of a modern glass building against a blue sky with some clouds.

    Facades & Glazing

    Precise structural interface surveys to support facade templating and prefabrication — where even small deviations in the backing structure translate to costly problems at installation.

  • Looking up at a modern high-rise building with reflective glass windows against a clear blue sky.

    Measured & as-built surveys

    Capturing existing conditions of buildings, spaces and structures to inform refurbishment design, planning submissions, and pre-acquisition due diligence.

What You Receive

CAD drawings (DXF / DWG)

1

Fully dimensioned plans, sections and elevations drawn from survey data — ready to import directly into your existing drawings or model.

PDF drawings

2

Clearly presented, scaled drawings for distribution across the design team or for submission to planning, building control or structural engineers.

Setting-out schedules

3

Coordinate-based schedules referenced to a national grid or site datum — formatted for direct use by groundworkers, steel fixers, bricklayers or contractors on site.

Level & deviation reports

4

Tabulated level data and deviation reports highlighting areas outside tolerance — giving you clear, actionable information before problems become programme issues.

Deliverables are agreed at enquiry stage and tailored to your project requirements. We don't issue data in a format you can't use.

Who We Work With

  • Architects & Designers

    Verified existing conditions to underpin design from the outset — removing assumptions that cause expensive problems later in the programme.

  • Main Contractors

    Setting-out control, level verification and as-built records across all trades — reducing risk and providing a reliable site baseline throughout construction.

  • Groundworkers

    Precise foundation and slab setting-out from design coordinates, ensuring the project starts on solid ground before any concrete is placed.

  • Structural Engineers

    As-built structural geometry to inform connection design, tolerance checks and coordination with other disciplines before fabrication or installation begins.

  • Specialist Subcontractors

    Accurate interface surveys for facades, glazing, joinery and fit-out trades where precise existing conditions are essential to prefabrication and installation.

  • Developers

    Pre-acquisition measured surveys, verified GIA data and existing conditions records to support due diligence, planning appraisals and feasibility assessments.
