Millimetre accurate site data for planning applications, design feasibility and land development delivered in as little as 5 working days.
Get a QuoteIf you are a planning consultant, architect or developer preparing for a planning application or site feasibility study in the North West, a topographical survey is the foundation your project starts from. We deliver detailed CAD site plans capturing terrain levels, boundaries, trees, structures, utility access points and all relevant site features across Liverpool, Manchester, Chester, Wigan, Warrington, Southport, Preston and the wider North West.
Precise terrain levels, boundary positions and site feature data captured using total station and GPS survey equipment.
CAD site plans produced to the standard required by planning authorities across Liverpool, Manchester and the wider North West.
From site visit to CAD drawing in as little as 5 working days, so your planning programme stays on track.

A topographical survey is a detailed, scaled mapping of the natural and man made features of a site. It captures terrain levels and contours, boundaries, existing structures, trees and vegetation, utility access points and any other above ground features relevant to the development.
The output is a precise CAD drawing that forms the base site plan for any planning application, design feasibility study, or new build development. For greenfield and brownfield sites alike, a topographical survey is typically required before any design work can begin and is a standard pre application requirement for most planning authorities across the North West.
A topographical survey supports a clean, validated planning submission and reduces the risk of queries at the planning stage. Required by most local authorities across the North West for new build and greenfield applications.
Before any design work begins on a new build or greenfield scheme, you need an accurate site plan to design from. Our topographical surveys give you terrain data, boundary positions, level information and site context in a CAD format you can work in directly.
Accurate site data at the feasibility stage informs earthworks design, drainage strategy, access planning and build cost estimates. Getting the survey right before design begins reduces the risk of costly revisions later.
Precise height data across the entire site for earthworks, drainage planning and flood risk assessment.
Accurate boundary positions including fences, walls and hedges.
Positions, canopy spreads and species of significant trees and vegetation.
Manhole covers, inspection chambers, meter boxes and service runs.
Buildings, walls, hard standings, paths and other site features.
Public footpaths, access routes and other easements.
