Setting out
Building grids, road alignment, structure positions and level transfer from established control, recorded as executed.
People & Site
Surveyors
Total station and GNSS operators for setting out, topographic survey, alignment control and volumetric measurement — including hill alignments through monsoon conditions.
Overview
Why this matters on your contract
On an earthwork-dominated contract, the survey is the money. Cross-sections taken carelessly, or reconstructed after the fact, turn into quantity disputes worth more than the entire survey cost many times over. On a building, poor setting out turns into rework nobody wants to own.
We deploy surveyors who hold control through the conditions the project actually presents — including hill alignments across two monsoons, which is where most cross-section records fall apart. Where you need survey delivered as a service rather than as a person, we do that too.
What you receive
- Survey data in raw and processed format, handed over in full
- CAD drawings of surveyed detail and sections
- Volume computation statements with methodology stated
- Control station register with coordinates and descriptions
- Instrument calibration records
Scope
What the service includes
Every element below is covered as standard. Anything outside it is quoted separately and agreed before we begin.
Topographic survey
Detail and level survey for design, with deliverables in the CAD format your design team needs.
Alignment and profile control
Road centreline, offset and formation level control maintained through construction.
Cross-section measurement
Original ground, intermediate and final cross-sections at contract intervals — the basis of every earthwork quantity.
Volumetric computation
Cut and fill volumes computed from sections or surface models, presented so they can be verified independently.
As-built survey
Survey of completed works for as-built drawings and final quantity reconciliation.
Our Approach
How we do this differently
01
Original ground is captured before work starts
Missing original cross-sections is the single most expensive survey failure on an earthwork contract, and it is entirely preventable.
02
Data is handed over, always
Raw and processed data both. A surveyor holding your data hostage is a risk you should never carry.
03
Control held through monsoon
Our deployed surveyors on hill alignments maintain and re-verify control through the wet season, which is when most projects lose theirs.

Yes. Survey as a delivered service — mobilise, survey, process, hand over drawings and data — is a common assignment, priced per site rather than per month.
By preventing them: original ground surveyed and jointly signed before work starts, sections at contract intervals, and computation methodology stated openly. Where a dispute already exists, we re-compute independently and report honestly, including when the client's figure is right.
