We’re here to tell you more about the importance of surveying in construction. Whilst projects and builds span across commercial and residential properties, surveying is an essential part of the collaborative and efficient building.

We’ll take a closer look at how an accurate survey can prevent budgeting issues, retrospective work, and problems with health and safety.

Knowing which survey is best for your project is the first step. You might need a GPS survey or 3D scanners or a Ground Penetrating Radar survey. While some of these surveys might be services you’ve used in the past, allowing Midland Survey to guide you through the most cost-effective survey is a great place to start.

What are the benefits of surveying?

The importance of surveying in construction lies in its benefits. We’ve listed some key benefits that have helped clients in the past and could certainly help you in the future.

Covering a broad range of sectors

More likely than not, our surveys have been used in your sector. Being able to have familiarity with the sector your project is in, allows us to understand what you’re looking for in your results.

We cover a range of sectors such as aviation, commercial, residential, public and transport and logistics.

Our experience in aviation alone has offered our clients essential information through our 3D modelling survey.

From CCTV drainage surveys on existing builds, or topographical surveys for the pre-plan and design team, we understand that transparency is key for your project to start and finish.

Offering the final product in several formats

Your construction project might be an ambitious one. Having the results of your survey produced in various formats allows you to have cross-department visibility in your building information modelling.

Having easy-to-access and easy-to-comprehend displays and results allows the whole team to target foreseen issues which could end up being costly.

Furthermore, your Midland Survey surveyor will be able to walk you through the findings of any survey allowing you to make accurate decisions with confidence.

Accurate and cost-efficient service

Due to having a variety of surveyors and survey types available to you, we’re able to provide you with accurate results.

As stated above, the accuracy of these results allows you and the team to make crucial changes to the planning and the build before any project-stalling issues arise.

The ability to have visibility over your project in such detail reduces the chance of having to lean on your contingency budget or delay the completion date which can cost thousands and sometimes millions of pounds.

The accuracy and detail provided in our surveys are an investment worth making.

Harnessing the power of technology

We don't just use one technology for our surveys, we use the latest and most advanced industry-recognised technology.

In hand with the technology we use, our surveyors are highly skilled, passionate and experienced in their field. We strive to give you the accuracy you need within a limited time frame.

Our Measured Building Surveys are driven by the industry knowledge and high standards that our surveyors adhere to.

From the latest FARO scanner for external surveying and 3D modelling for internal, we know how to marry technology to get you the clearest results.
