Why Choose Our Survey Control Services?
Survey control is the backbone of any successful construction project, ensuring that all subsequent stages are built on a precise and reliable foundation. Our service is designed to meet the highest standards, integrating the Ordnance Survey national grid and the architect’s established criteria to develop a customised control network that fits each site’s unique conditions. Benefits of our survey control services include:
- Enhanced Accuracy: Establishing precise survey control minimises the risk of misalignment, supporting accurate positioning across all construction stages.
- Compliance with Best Practices: Our quality management systems and adherence to client business processes ensure that every aspect of our work aligns with industry standards.
- Real-Time Data Access: With innovative web technology, clients can access survey data in real-time, directly on their desktops for efficient project tracking.


Advanced Survey Control Technology for Precision and Efficiency
Our team employs modern surveying instruments, GPS technology, and web-based solutions to establish survey control networks tailored to each project’s needs. By establishing both primary and secondary control points, we create a robust, interconnected framework that guides every aspect of the construction process. Our data transfer methods allow seamless integration of digitised design data directly into survey instruments, reducing the potential for errors and ensuring consistent accuracy.
Comprehensive Survey Control Solutions
Our survey control services are meticulously crafted to meet the unique requirements of each project, including:
- Relating Architect’s Criteria to Ordnance Survey Grid: Aligning architectural setting-out criteria with the national Ordnance Survey grid to create a precise control network.
