    Topographic Survey

    A complete topographic survey of your site with Total Station and GPS/GNSS-RTK instruments at centimetre accuracy: we capture coordinates, elevations, and existing features (buildings, walls, trees, visible utilities), and produce a contour map, DWG/DXF files, and a CSV coordinate table ready as the basis for architectural and structural design and cut-and-fill quantities. Every survey ties into documented control points and is certified by a report signed by a licensed survey engineer.

    The problem we solve

    Too many projects start from outdated drawings or rough coordinates, then hit costly cut-and-fill and quantity surprises on site. An accurate topographic survey gives you a true picture of the ground before you design or build.

    Who needs this service

    Design offices and consultants, contractors, real-estate developers, and landowners who need reliable site data before design, construction, or quantity take-off.

    When you need this service

    • Before starting design of any building or infrastructure project
    • To capture real-world coordinates and elevations on site
    • To prepare cut-and-fill studies and quantity calculations
    • To update legacy drawings against the current site state

    How we execute

    1. 1

      Site visit and control-point setup using GNSS-RTK

    2. 2

      Field capture with survey instruments (Total Station and GPS) and UAV where needed

    3. 3

      Data processing — computing coordinates and elevations

    4. 4

      Drawing contour lines and producing DWG/DXF files

    5. 5

      QA review and report certification by a licensed engineer

    What we need from you

    • Site boundaries or ownership document
    • Reference coordinates if available
    • Site access permission and any safety requirements

    What you receive

    • DWG/DXF file with points and contour lines
    • Signed PDF survey report from a licensed engineer
    • Coordinates table (CSV)
    • Site documentation photos

    Equipment & methodology

    We equip this service from our owned fleet of 90 instruments:

    Leica total station instrument

    Total stations

    Survey instruments for precise angle and distance measurement — control networks, layout, and as-builts.

    Trimble GNSS RTK receiver

    GPS / GNSS / RTK receivers

    Survey-grade GPS receivers for centimeter-accurate satellite positioning (RTK) — control, topographic, and cadastral work.

    Automatic surveying level

    Levels

    Automatic and digital levels for high-precision elevation and benchmark networks.

    We own and operate our field fleet — our site shots carry the “From our field work” chip, alongside class-reference photos.

    Frequently asked

    What accuracy can we expect?+

    We deliver centimeter-grade accuracy (±2 cm horizontal and vertical) using Total Station and GPS/GNSS-RTK survey instruments.

    Do you handle very large sites?+

    Yes, we cover anything from 100 m² to hundreds of acres, with multiple field crews and UAV teams for large projects.

    Does this include an ownership plate?+

    Ownership plates are a separate service. Topographic surveys focus on coordinates and elevations; ownership plates relate to boundaries and ownership documents.

    How much does a topographic survey cost?+

    Pricing is scoped to the project: location and area, input quality, required deliverables, and review rounds. After reviewing the requirements we provide a written quote stating cost and schedule before work starts; there is no published fixed tariff for this service.

    What formats do you deliver, and do they open directly in design software?+

    You receive a DWG/DXF organized on standard layers (points, contours, features, boundaries), a CSV coordinate table, a signed PDF report, and site photos; the files open directly in AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit, and GIS software with no extra processing.

    When does a site need a fresh survey?+

    If the survey is over a year old or site features changed (excavation, fill, new structures, road works), a fresh survey costs far less than discovering discrepancies during construction. We recommend an update survey before any expansion or redesign.
