We can carry out these surveys for a number of reasons, from an evaluation of the plot’s worth, for a feasibility study (is a site worth developing or will it get planning), to a full-scale design or structural development before planning or construction begins on a project. These surveys can detail all kinds of …
What is geospatial surveying? Geospatial, or land surveying, is the measurement and mapping of our surrounding environment using mathematics, specialised technology, and equipment.

One of the most important aspects of this mentoring program is seeing how our senior surveyors interact with the apprentices. They are patient, kind and friendly, but they also don’t mince their words and tell it how it is when the occasion arises. They present a great example for our young staff members to follow. …
Drones are revolutionising the way we survey large pieces of land. With a drone, you can cover more ground in less time, and the aerial data collected can provide high-resolution images and detailed maps of the land. From infrastructure projects to land surveying, drones are making it easier to collect data quickly, accurately, and safely. …
When it comes to working on a project, you want fast turnaround times, as time never seems to be on your side. Some survey companies will outsource their processing to other companies in other countries.
