The Foundation of Your Design

Before your architect draws a single line, they need a digital model of the land. A Detail Survey maps everything on your block: contours, trees, services, and neighbouring structures.

Precise Levels

AHD levels and contours to 0.1m accuracy for drainage design.

Tree Mapping

Canopy spread and trunk diameter for all significant trees.

Neighbour Data

Ridge and gutter heights of adjacent homes for shadow diagrams.

CAD Ready

DWG files compatible with ArchiCAD, Revit, and AutoCAD.

Scanning The Terrain

Using robotic total stations, we capture thousands of data points across your site. This creates a 3D digital twin of your land, ensuring your architect has perfect data to work with.
