A topographical survey also known as a land survey, is an accurate depiction of the current state of your development site, providing your project with the location of natural and manmade features including nearby buildings, vegetation and drainage systems.
These surveys supply your contractors with a visual representation of the surface and elevation of your land, the layout of the site and assist in outlining its boundaries. These documents also assist in determining any inconsistency between the original blueprints and the actual site conditions. A topographical survey is crucial when developing or modifying a piece of land.
Our specialist Lincoln surveyors employ the latest Leica Total Stations, GNSS equipment and 3D laser scanners to conduct our topographical surveys to best practice. Our high-grade technology allows Fosse Surveying to administer precise and to scale surveys, diminishing the risk of human error.
After we have collected the necessary data from your site, our specialist AutoCAD software will create 2D and 3D illustrations, complete with measurements. We will provide these in a number of formats including DX, DWG and PDF.
Every single Lincoln project we undertake conforms to the standards set by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
Topographical surveys are crucial because more often than not, they determine problems that haven’t been discovered or taken into account during the planning stages, helping to tighten up the management of your project. This process will help to reduce the likelihood of costly errors, saving you time and money in the long run.
Having knowledge and an understanding of the foundations beneath your infrastructure is critical to safeguarding its stability, durability and overall life. Outlining your property’s boundaries provides you with tangible evidence of your land ownership should you ever be subject to a boundary dispute and also provides a historical record of the site.
