Get in Touch

Our team of professional topographical surveyors have a wealth of experience conducting thorough surveys for residential, commercial and industrial clients. We produce topographical surveys using reflectorless-EDM equipment as stand-alone drawings to an arbitrary datum, or can utilise GPS tools to relate to Ordnance Survey or other pre-defined site datums. 

What We Do

Acting as a base for the design of your construction project, a topographical survey will ensure you encounter no unwelcome surprises throughout construction, allowing you to build a sound structure in an efficient manner.

Topographical Surveys FAQs

What is a topographical survey?
A topographical survey is a detailed measurement survey that maps the physical features of a site, including buildings, roads, vegetation, boundaries, paving, services, street furniture, ground levels, and contours. It provides an accurate base plan for planning, design, and construction projects.
A topographical survey helps identify existing site conditions before design work begins. By providing accurate information about the land and surrounding features, it helps reduce risks, avoid costly surprises, and supports informed decision-making throughout a project.
Topographical surveys are commonly used for residential developments, commercial projects, garden redesigns, road improvements, infrastructure schemes, and industrial sites.
AXIOM Geomatics uses modern survey equipment, including reflectorless EDM and GPS technology where appropriate, to deliver highly accurate survey data tailored to project requirements.
Yes. Surface-obtained drainage information can often be incorporated into the survey to provide a more complete understanding of site conditions and assist with future design work.

Survey drawings can be provided in DWG and other digital formats suitable for architects, engineers, planners, and construction professionals.
