Services
Topographical Surveys
Our topographical surveys create detailed terrain maps using advanced GPS and laser technology. Ideal for development sites and planning applications, these surveys provide 1:500 scale mapping for large land parcels. Clients benefit from accurate elevation data and boundary definitions that support infrastructure projects and environmental assessments.
Building Surveys
Measured building surveys capture precise architectural details for commercial and residential properties. Using 3D laser scanning, we produce 1:50 scale floor plans and elevations. This service supports renovation projects, compliance checks, and asset management by documenting existing conditions with millimetre-level accuracy.
Laser Scanning
High-accuracy laser scanning captures complex structures and environments in 3D. Suitable for heritage sites and engineering projects, this non-invasive method creates point cloud databases for AutoCAD integration. Clients receive detailed models that enable virtual inspections and long-term archival records.
360 Photography
Using Matterport and Spheron cameras, we create immersive 360 virtual tours and asset records. This service supports facilities management, safety training, and construction sequencing by providing interactive visual documentation accessible from any location.
Engineering Surveys
Specialised engineering surveys support infrastructure projects with precise measurements for utilities, highways, and mechanical systems. Our team delivers data for bridge inspections, tunnel analysis, and construction monitoring, ensuring compliance with technical specifications and safety standards.

As Architects, we have employed Julian Harris for may years and he always provides a fast and professional service. I have used other measured building surveyors but Julian always provides the best level of detail and we will be very happy to use him for further work. Highly recommended.
