Who we work with

Discretion is just as critical as precision. We don't broadcast our presence on your site and our field teams operate as discreetly as is practicable. We deploy in unbranded vehicles, wear plain high-visibility PPE, and operate under a strict 'no-info' policy if approached by third parties, neighbours, or the public while on site.

Questions before you start?

The most common things people ask before briefing a survey.

How quickly can you survey my site?

Current lead time is 2-3 weeks. We confirm the exact visit date after instruction once the site scope, access, and location are checked.

How accurate are your surveys?

We work to the RICS accuracy banding appropriate for the survey type and intended use. Accuracy varies by feature, access, site conditions, and measurement method, and material limitations are noted where they affect use of the drawing.

Do you have professional indemnity insurance?

Yes. We hold professional indemnity insurance. Once you have an active project, you can request a certificate through My Queries in your project account.

What formats do you deliver in?

Topographical surveys are typically delivered as 2D and 3D DXF, or DWG with PDFs, orthophoto GeoTIFFs, and supplementary CSV files where required. Measured building surveys are typically delivered as 2D DXF/DWG and PDFs. We can meet most output format requirements if you advise us at survey brief time.

How much does a survey cost?

Small, straightforward surveys can start from around £400, while larger or more complex instructions can run into the tens of thousands. Price depends on site size, access, required detail, outputs, turnaround, and survey risk. The online brief gives us enough context to price it properly.
