We provide essential survey solutions for engineering design and infrastructure construction, including topographic, contour and feature surveys, volume surveys, civil and structural construction surveys, as-built surveys and precision engineering surveys.

As-Constructed Surveys

As-constructed (or as-built) surveys are often required in an urban development or renewal project to meet contractual obligations and to document the built asset location. Our team of qualified surveyors are specialists in due diligence and high-precision surveys for a range of applications at each stage of the development process.

GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GIS)

From managing tenancies in shopping centres to finding the best location for your next development, GIS offers a wealth of information with strong data analysis to plan, manage and optimise developments. The online mapping functions of GIS provide opportunities for people to visualise developments and for developers to have access to progress on their projects.

AERIAL MAPPING

We have invested heavily in our people and cutting-edge technology to enable us to undertake a range of spatially accurate high-resolution aerial mapping, survey and inspections services to capture your project safely and efficiently.

UNDERGROUND SERVICE LOCATION AND MAPPING

Being able to pinpoint the utilities and services beneath your site reduces risk, reduces delays and allows for excellent planning for your project. Pinpoint Service Mapping, powered by Alexander Symonds, uses non-invasive techniques to locate and spatially map underground services at any stage of a project.
