Land Survey Data Your Planning Application Needs

We ensure every topographical survey delivered in Liverpool is accurate, correctly formatted and ready to submit with your planning application without amendment.

  • Drainage features, manholes and utility apparatus
  • Highway kerb lines, footpaths and access points
  • Supplied as AutoCAD .dwg and PDF to your specification

Topographical survey data is the base on which every new-build and site development design in Liverpool is built. Without accurate levels and feature data, your design is built on assumptions that will surface as problems during planning or on site.
