Surveys in Leicester and Leicestershire

Explore some of our Leicester projects!

A planning submission held up for want of a topo. An architect drawing over 30-year-old plans. A groundworks gang about to dig with no idea where the cables run. These are the problems we fix for clients across Leicester and the county, with survey data that's right first time and arrives when your programme needs it.

From our Derby base, Leicester is well within our everyday patch, so there's no travel surcharge.

The process, start to finish

Brief. Send us the address, a plan or a pin on a map, and what the survey is for. Quote. A fixed price within 1 working day, with no extras later for travel. Survey. On site within 3–5 working days, or 48 hours for urgent jobs. Deliverables. Usually 5–10 working days after the site visit: DWG, PDF, Revit or E57/RCP point cloud.

What you're paying for

Every survey is quoted on its own merits. The things that move the price are: - the site area or floor area, and how many levels there are - the accuracy and level of detail the design team needs - how easy it is to access the site: occupied buildings, locked areas, roofs, roads - 2D drawings or a full 3D model - how quickly you need it

Send us as much detail as you can and we'll come back with a tight, fixed price.

Leicester at a glance

Leicester mixes Victorian terraces and former hosiery and shoe factories with two large universities, busy retail and industrial parks, and growing suburbs and villages across the county. Conversions of older factory buildings are common, and laser scanning really earns its keep on those.

Leicester FAQs

How much does a topographical survey cost in Leicester? It depends mainly on the site size, how much detail you need and access. A typical residential plot costs far less than a multi-acre development site. Send us a plan and we'll give you a fixed price within a day.

Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire? Yes, including Loughborough, Hinckley, Market Harborough, Melton and the villages in between.

How long does it take? On site within 3–5 working days, and drawings 5–10 working days after that.

Can you survey a building that's still in use? Yes. We work around occupants and opening hours, and offer early, late and weekend slots.

Is your survey suitable for a planning application? Yes. We'll supply drawings at the scales your architect and the council need.

Can you also locate drains and utilities? Yes. We can combine PAS 128 utility mapping and CCTV drainage surveys with your topo in one visit.
