A topographical survey is an authentic illustration of your site including information such as the positioning of nearby buildings, trees and drainage systems.
These surveys provide a visual depiction of your site’s layout for contractors and architects to plan their work and assist in outlining boundaries. They also help to establish any differences between the original blueprints and your site’s actual conditions. It is an essential piece of documentation for the development or modification of land.
Our professional Sheffield surveyors employ the latest Leica Total Stations, GNSS equipment and 3D laser scanners to conduct our surveys to best practice. Our top of the line equipment allows Fosse Surveying to supply precise and to scale surveys, minimising the possibility of human error enormously.
Once processed, our specialist AutoCAD software will create 2D and 3D drawings of your site complete with its measurements. These will be available in a number of formats including DX, DWG and PDF.
All of our Sheffield projects are administered in accordance with the standards of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
Potential issues previously undiscovered may be revealed by the implementation of a topographical survey, helping the overall running of your project. Costly errors can be avoided during this process, saving you time and money in the future.
Topographical surveys also provide you with the essential knowledge of your foundation conditions, ensuring the stability and durability of your infrastructure. They also provide you with an outline of your property’s boundary, a historical record of the Sheffield site and safeguard you against ownership disputes.

The purpose of a Topographical survey is to provide an accurate and authentic representation of a development site’s condition. When outlining your site’s boundaries, this survey will determine nearby structures and unearth any potential hazards and constraints that could affect overall completion.
