Services

Land/Topographical Surveying

Our land/topographical surveying services map terrain and features for construction and redevelopment projects. Using GPS and total stations, we produce 2D/3D plans with high accuracy. Tailored to client needs, these surveys support planning, design, and site analysis across Kent, London, and beyond.

3D Laser Scanning

3D laser scanning captures detailed structural and surface data remotely. Our Leica C10 ScanStation collects millions of points per second, creating precise point clouds for architectural, engineering, and planning applications. This non-invasive method ensures rapid data collection without compromising accuracy.

Boundary Issues

We resolve boundary disputes and demarcation through detailed surveys comparing GPS data to Ordnance Survey and Land Registry records. Services include first registration, lease plans, and sub-division, providing legally sound solutions for property owners and developers.

Structural/Landform Monitoring

Structural and landform monitoring tracks changes over time using repeatable methods. Our systems, designed for projects lasting weeks to decades, ensure accuracy in flood defences, coastal roads, and infrastructure. Fixed fees cover setup and return visits with no hidden costs.

Measured Building Surveys

Measured building surveys document internal dimensions through floor plans, elevations, and sections. Our staff use advanced tools to capture precise data for renovations, extensions, or asset management, ensuring compliance with project specifications and regulatory requirements.

I just saw the review by Mr Guo , who appears to also write on my behalf (his neighbour)!. I certainly don't endorse the views of Mr Guo. Mike the surveyor has got specialist equipment that links to GPS and satellites to map your property. We used him for a boundary dispute with my neighbour. Mike produced a report of around 15 pages, going into extreme detail. He was also very patient with my neighbour who did not like the boundary decision and spent more time than expected on our case. Very professional and top quality Leica equipment. Thank you.

Avoid!!! He gave us( neighbor and I) a decision on site, and then U turned when he delivered the report, after pointed out his mistakes, he has very strong ego to admit any of them, and decided he is the god. There is no dimensions in his plan, all lines are bended and massaged, even when you pointed out for him, he found all different excuses.

A superb company and very nice people. Somehow we managed to pay their invoice twice without noticing.
