Measure it.
Cost it.
Make it last.

Land and geospatial surveys, quantity surveying and project cost management, and building surveying — one consultancy for the whole life of a project, from first measurement to final account.

What we do

One consultancy, three disciplines

Measure the site, manage the cost, look after the building — joined-up advice across the whole life of a project.

Division 01 · Land & geospatial survey

Five ways to capture the truth on site

Every project gets the capture method that fits the brief — often more than one, combined into a single coordinated dataset.

METHOD / 01

LiDAR scanning

Static terrestrial and mobile LiDAR capture producing dense, registered point clouds for as-built surveys, clash detection and BIM-ready models.

Point cloud±3–5mmLAS / LAZ / E57
METHOD / 02

GNSS surveys

RTK and network-corrected GNSS positioning tied to OS National Grid or project datum, for control networks, topographic detail and boundary work.

RTK / VRSControl networksOSGB36 & ETRS89
METHOD / 03

Topographical surveys

Detailed ground-level and detail surveys — levels, features, boundaries and vegetation — plotted to the accuracy your design team can build on.

LevelsSite plansDWG / DXF
METHOD / 04

Utility surveys (GPR)

PAS 128-compliant detection and mapping of buried utilities using ground-penetrating radar and electromagnetic locating, before you break ground.

PAS 128GPREM locating
METHOD / 05

Drone surveys

Aerial photogrammetry and orthomosaic mapping for volumetric surveys, stockpile monitoring, and topography across large or difficult-access sites.

NOT SURE WHICH?

Tell us the site, we'll tell you the method

Most briefs combine two or three capture methods into one dataset. Send us the location and what the design team needs, and we'll scope it.

How a land survey runs

From enquiry to deliverable, in five stages

The same coordinated workflow whether it's a single boundary or a multi-hectare site.

STAGE 01

Brief & desk study

We review existing records, drawings and utility plans before anyone sets foot on site.

STAGE 02

Site reconnaissance

Access, control points and capture method are confirmed against the real conditions on the ground.

STAGE 03

Data capture

LiDAR, GNSS, GPR and drone capture, tied to a common control network and datum.

STAGE 04

Processing & QA

Point clouds registered, data classified, and every dataset checked against control before it leaves the office.

STAGE 05

Deliverable

Drawings, models or point clouds handed over in the format your design team actually works in.

Division 02 · Quantity surveying

Cost certainty, from first budget to final account

Quantity surveying, project management and contract administration for clients, developers and contractors who need every pound accounted for.

Discuss your project
QS / 01

Project management & contract administration

Day-to-day management of the project and the building contract — programme, instructions, variations and records — so the client stays in control.

QS / 02

Cost estimating, budgeting & planning

Early-stage cost plans and budgets from feasibility onwards, tested against the design as it develops.

QS / 03

Bills of quantities & measurement

Accurate measurement of the works and preparation of bills of quantities, schedules of work and pricing documents.

QS / 04

Tendering & procurement

Tender strategy, documentation, contractor shortlisting and tender reports, to secure competitive and comparable prices.

QS / 05

Interim valuations & payment certificates

Regular valuations of work completed and payment certification in line with the contract terms.

QS / 06

Final accounts, cost reconciliation & retention release

Agreeing the final account, reconciling variations and costs, and managing the release of retention at the right time.

QS / 07

Building project cost control

Ongoing monitoring of spend against budget, with cost reports, risk allowances and early warning of overruns.

QS / 08

Employer's agent duties

Acting as the client's representative under the contract — monitoring the contractor, reporting on progress and protecting the client's interests.

Division 03 · Building surveying

Understand the building before you commit to it

Independent inspection, diagnosis and advice for owners, landlords, developers and occupiers — from a single defect to a full refurbishment.

SERVICE / 01

Surveys & inspections

Building surveys, condition inspections and pre-purchase reports giving a clear, prioritised account of what is sound and what is not.

Building surveyCondition reportPhoto record
SERVICE / 02

Defect diagnosis & remedial advice

Tracing damp, cracking, water ingress, timber decay and movement back to root cause, with practical repair recommendations.

Damp & moistureCrackingRemedial specs
SERVICE / 03

Building regulations & compliance

Guidance on Building Regulations and statutory requirements, helping projects reach approval and sign-off without surprises.

Building RegsCompliance reviewApprovals
SERVICE / 04

Planned maintenance & building condition

Condition surveys and long-term maintenance programmes that turn building defects into a prioritised, budgeted schedule of works.

Condition surveysMaintenance plansBudget forecasts
SERVICE / 05

Extensions, alterations & refurbishment

Technical input, specification and site inspection for extensions, conversions and refurbishments, from feasibility to completion.
