Your trusted topographic surveyors in Portsmouth
What is a topographic survey?
A land survey (or topographic survey) is a comprehensive and detailed representation of the natural and man-made features of a piece of land. We conduct land surveys in Portsmouth and the surrounding counties.
This type of survey provides an accurate and up-to-date depiction of elevations, contours, and the location of physical features such as buildings, trees, bodies of water, and any other structures or obstacles.
Why might you need a topographic survey?
Topographic surveys provide critical information for architects, engineers, contractors, and other professionals involved in the design and construction of buildings, structures, infrastructures, and landscapes.
For example, you might need a topographic survey for:
-
Your planning application to develop land
-
Your landscape designer to base their designs on
-
Accurately setting out your construction site
-
Selling your land or recording your boundaries​
