Topographical Surveys

If you are looking to plan a development on your land, then a Topographical Survey or Land Survey is essential to inform your design and reduce errors later down the line.

What Is a Topographical Survey?

A topographical survey, sometimes called a land survey, provides an accurate representation of natural and man-made features within a specified area. These surveys are undertaken using precision equipment and the latest technology.

Why Are Topographical Surveys Important?

If you’re looking to develop your land, then an accurate survey of the levels and features is essential.

Without reliable measured information, it can be easy for mistakes to occur, leading to wasted time on site for contractors, planning application delays, and potential limitations in your construction plans.

Investing in an accurate and well-detailed survey will prove to be a valuable investment, saving you significant time and costs while ensuring the success of your project.

How Much do Topographical Surveys Cost?

Typically, the cost for a survey in Yorkshire can be as low as £795 + VAT for a small sized plot. This price will of course increase dependant on distance, size and the level of detail required to record what you need.

The Scope

SolidPoint were contacted by a client who was planning for future changes to their site. They requested a full topographical survey of some toll booths, as well as the surrounding road so their design team could plan access, positioning, and costs accordingly.

What We Recorded

Our team were on site for 3 days, and recorded:

  • The road and its markings
  • Kerbs
  • Signage
  • Buildings
  • Trees & Bushes
  • Spot levels
  • Surface changes

Below, you can see a section of our final CAD drawing compared to a map image, demonstrating the amount of time and detail we put into all of our topographical surveys, whether it’s collecting data on site or processing data in-office.
