Setting out, also referred to as staking out or laying out, involves transferring the building design to the land itself and occurs once architect’s plans have been finalised and data from a topographic survey has been gathered. In this guide we share our expertise on setting out.

3D laser scanning is considered one of the most efficient and accurate methods for measuring infrastructure. A 3D laser scanning survey involves the remote collection of data points from a building or structure at a higher speed and with a greater level of detail than conventional surveying techniques. The captured...

Measured building surveys involve the internal or external mapping of buildings and structures, detailing the architectural elements and structural features of a building and are often considered an essential stage of the design and planning process of a variety of projects, including planning applications, conversation on listed buildings, house extensions...

Bathymetric and Hydrographic are terms that both refer to marine topography and are often used interchangeably. However, when it comes to bathymetric surveys and hydrographic surveys, there are differences to take into consideration, with bathymetric surveys being a form of hydrographic survey that typically provide a more detailed topology of...

We are delighted to be able to announce today the next step in the Landform Surveys’ journey, our successful acquisition by Lucion Services.

As with most industries, technological advancements continue to be at the forefront of construction, shaping the future of the industry. To accommodate the constantly changing demands of modern businesses, technology continues to evolve at a rapid speed. For businesses to stay relevant in a highly competitive digital landscape, it is...

Bathymetric surveys are a type of hydrographic survey which map out the details of underwater terrain, and are particularly important in terms of aiding navigation and dredging activities, and supporting land projects. This guide will explore what bathymetric surveys are, common methods for conducting bathymetric surveys and why they are...

A current talking point in the surveying sector, that requires attention, is the integration of Virtual Reality (VR) technologies in the BIM process within 3D laser scanning surveys. With VR systems being widely influential and adopted across a multitude of industries, the surveying sector is no exception. There has been...

BIM, also known as building information modelling, is a system which combines data capture as part of an overall larger structure of construction processes; making it significantly easier and more effective for people and information to work together.

Measured building surveys can be conducted on all built structures, regardless of size, age, or condition. They are an accurate representation of a building, displaying structural and architectural elements of a building. Measured building surveys are an essential part of the design and planning process, especially during a building renovation,...
