What is a topographical survey?

Widely known as a land survey, a topographical survey, is an accurate and scaled representation of the current state of your development land. Land surveys supply development projects with essential information, such as the positioning of nearby buildings, vegetation, drainage and waterways.

These surveys ensure that your contractors are administered with a depiction of the constitution and elevation of the ground’s surface providing a visual aid, helping to establish the layout and boundaries of the site. These documents can also determine inconsistencies between plans and the actual condition of your site. A topographical survey is vital for the development or modification of a piece of land.

Our specialist surveyors in Milton Keynes utilise the latest in Leica Total Stations, GNSS equipment and 3D laser scanners to execute our topographical surveys in accordance with best practice guidelines. Our high-grade technology enables Fosse Surveying to generate detailed and precise surveys, vastly diminishing the risk of human error. 

Once we have captured the data from your site, our specialist AutoCAD software will produce a number of 2D and 3D sketches annotated with measurements. These can be provided in DX, DWG and PDF formats. 
Every Milton Keynes project we carry out complies with the standards set by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

What are the benefits of a Topographical Survey in Milton Keynes?

A Topographical survey often helps to ensure the smooth management of a project. This is because it sheds light on potential problems and even hazards that may never have been taken into account during planning. This process helps prohibit the occurrence of expensive errors further into construction, saving you time and money. Having an appreciation of your building’s foundations helps with its development, safeguarding its stability and durability.

 

Establishing the boundary of your property provides tangible evidence should ownership ever be challenged. It also stands as a historical record of the site.
