Surveying has frequently been an necessary component in the development of the human environment since the beginning of recorded history (roughly five thousand years ago) and it is a essential in the preparation and implementation of nearly all form of construction. Its most familiar up-to-date uses are in the fields of transport, building and construction, communications, mapping, and the definition of legal boundaries for land ownership.

A typical land surveying company would specialize in making highly precise digital survey drawings of both solid ground and buildings.

On That Point, there are a routine of distinct types of surveys that such a company would follow through. These include:

A Net Internal Area Survey renders the useful area within a building at every floor level. This calculation is important for evaluation, marketing and property evaluation purposes.

A Topographic Survey supplies true points and characteristics of a piece of solid ground to generate a drawing in 2D or 3D for development purposes.

A Measured Building Survey offers accurate properties of floor plans, elevations and parts of an active building. The plans can be used for multiple functions including structural redevelopment and refurbishment.

A Boundary Survey renders a solution when analysing deed plans and Land Registry documents of terra firma for demarcation or registration intentions.

Lease Plans renders drafts for clients to register their property with Land Registry. This is now a legal essential.

3D Laser Scanning provides the most detailed 3D surface information of land and constructions, in particular on complex surfaces and unapproachable environments.
