When this service helps
Before construction starts, a set-out survey marks the nominated building points or lines for the site team. Current coordinated drawings and suitable survey control are needed before attendance.
What you receive
Set-out records and documentation for the points or lines included in the agreed survey. Depending on the agreed scope, this includes:
The nominated drawing revision and survey reference
A record of the points or lines set out
Agreed set-out documentation
Your questions, answered
What information is needed before set-out?
Current coordinated drawings, the required set-out scope, site access and any necessary boundary or survey-control information. The surveyor confirms what must be resolved before attendance.
What should I send with my enquiry?
Send your site address, proposed works, available plans or reports, access details and preferred timing. You can enquire before all plans are available.
When can the work be arranged?
Tell us your preferred timing and any access constraints. We’ll confirm the site visit and reporting timeframes for the agreed work before it begins.
