A construction survey is a broader term that can encompass various surveying activities throughout the construction process. Generally, construction surveys are a broader term than set-out surveys. Construction Surveying is generally made up of the following.
Set Out Site Levels or Level Datums
Site levels and datums are used to determine the correct elevations or levels of the construction of new buildings, roads, retaining walls, drainage or platforms are to be constructed to.
It is important to have an accurate site datum or level set out at the beginning of the construction process to ensure all aspects of the development are being constructed to the correct level.
Set out Surveys and certificates
A setout survey typically refers to the initial surveying activities at the beginning of a construction project.
Its primary purpose is to translate the design plans into the physical environment by precisely marking the positions of key elements such as foundations, walls, columns, and boundaries.
The emphasis is on setting out the exact locations and alignments as per the design specifications.
Checking and verifying dimensions, alignments, elevations, and other aspects at different stages of the project.
We can certify that the set out survey has been set out correctly and in accordance with your building consent.
