Architectural Surveys
Over the years, City Surveys has formed excellent working relationships with many significant architectural practices, construction firms and developers throughout the UK.
We provide the complete range of surveying services to architects, from the initial topo surveys to more advanced sub-surface scanning/utilities mapping. In doing so we can reduce costly delays, cut overheads and eliminate potentially serious breakdowns in communication. The result is a far smoother, more economical and more positive working relationship than is experienced with many other firms.
Measured Building Surveys
Using the latest software technology and modern, touch screen field computers, data is stored and verified on site and in real time using measuring equipment with Bluetooth connectivity. The result is more efficient survey teams, higher quality drawings and increased productivity. Ultimately, this can mean lower prices for our clients.
Building Elevations
Using either laser-scanning or reflectorless instrument techniques, detailed building elevations can be produced to a high degree of accuracy within a short time frame. Our clients regularly commission us to produce plans for everything from private dwellings and supermarkets to listed and elaborate church buildings using these methods.
Laser Scanning
This system involves the emission of pulse laser beams that create a cloud of referenced points. The data is then interpreted, generating both 2D and 3D products as requested. Elevations, sections, 3D and TIN models are just some of the products that can be derived from the cloud. All line work is produced meticulously in AutoCAD format, the end result being an incredibly accurate, flawless product. The precision and value of these scans cannot be over-estimated.
Topographic Surveys
With the latest Direct Reflex Robotic Total Stations and RTK GPS units, City Surveys can quickly and accurately produce terrain models of sites deliverable in 2D or 3D and in any format a designer may require. These services are regularly provided to architectural practices as well as clients on the railway infrastructure, airfields, MOD sites, motorways and the nuclear industry. Our deliverables include all references to any GI work undertaken and display all the findings of our utilities mapping on clear, easily interpreted drawings.
