When it comes to construction services there are many aspects. Land survey in itself offers a plethora of different options and sometimes it is difficult to figure out which one you need, or even to keep track of the overwhelming variety of land survey options that exist in construction services. There are a few main types of land surveys available that will suit the majority, if not all, of a person’s survey needs. It will not matter if you need a survey done for your home or for a complicated construction project for a business. We will list some of the basic types of surveys and what they entail to help you identify the major differences between the surveys. • Measured Building - These surveys take measurements of the actual building structure itself to provide customers with accurate or generic data of outside and inside walls, stairways, closets, doors, and anything else that is part of the permanent structure. These are most often used for restoration or makeover projects. • Engineering - Involves setting out three-dimensional steel frames, complex building plans, and the setting out of piles. This is used more for new projects to help ensure structural integrity. • GPS (Global Positioning System) - Surveys large open areas of land and does not need the typical line of sight in order to gain accurate measurements. Allows placement of survey points onto Ordnance Survey grid or other grid. Ideal for large plots of land. • Subterranean Radar Scanning - Easy and non-invasive way to check properties for buried services and voids for a depth of up to 3 metre. Ideal for any construction service requiring digging. It can potentially save a lot of money by avoiding damages to buried services. • Monitoring - Small or large scale monitoring can be conducted, and in some cases without the conspicuous workers. Monitoring systems allow for virtually real-time results, and automatic update of data that is collected remotely. • 3D Scanning - Intensive scans can create highly accurate measurements. These are ideal for construction services requiring volume-related calculations, elevation measurements, planning, and 3D modelling. • Elevation - Available options are 2D wire frame elevation survey, up to an intricate 3D point cloud survey. Multiple elevations can be measured and recorded for accurate model reconstruction. Used for planning applications, restoration, refurbishment, and quantity calculations. • As-Built - Surveys for progressing work to ensure everything is progressing properly and within the proper specifications. This is used at the time of construction to make sure work is done according to plans and standards. There are a few of the land survey options available in relation to construction services. If you still are not certain which land survey option or perhaps options you will need, it is a good idea to speak with someone locally or research more online to find additional information. Places you find locally or online, may be able to offer some advice or guidance regarding the types of land survey or land surveys you should conduct for maximum project success, and don’t be afraid to ask for some help.
