Land Surveying - GPS
A land survey determines the critical dimensions of an area and its physical properties (i.e. boundaries, surfaces, gradients). Undertaking a land survey is crucial when looking to develop a site as it’s the first step to understand what is on your site and the development options available to you.
There are different types of land survey dependent on the area that needs investigating however, each sets out to understand the “lay of the land” and any restraints this may cause.
At METHODICO, we undertake all types of land survey from garden/extension to a home, brownfield site to town centre. All information is turned into 2D or 3D drawings enabling design teams to develop new schemes or make changes to existing infrastructure.
Along with this, our surveyors can undertake other surveys in parallel such as utility, measured building or structural surveys as we offer a range surveying, geophysics and engineering solutions.
Drone Surveying
Building site surveys are important at each and every stage of the construction process. In the pre-construction stage, they are vital for gathering the information that informs the benefits and drawbacks of a particular site. During the construction process they can be used to measure progress and can also massively help in the resolution of disputes. Using drones speeds up this progress and helps to provide better and more up-to-date information.
Building site surveys can include surveys on existing buildings, including, valuing the buildings, measuring the buildings, demolition surveys and condition surveys (including structural reports).
For sites without structures, the surveys can be used for ground condition surveys including topographical surveys. muck movements, excavation monitoring, cut and fill progress monitoring and dispute resolution.
The benefit of using drones is the ability to quickly gather information about not only the specific site but the surrounding areas that is useful for constructing traffic and transport reports.
3d Mapping
With the help of 3D Scanning, our specialist surveyors are able to digitally showcase a property with hitherto unprecedented precision and detail. Our specialist camera system allows for the three-dimensional rendering of any project, so it can be viewed online in a realistic and immersive manner.
Remote Building Inspections - 3D Scanning allows for the swift capture of the condition of buildings for documentation in Home Surveys, Building Surveys, Acquisition and Condition Surveys, Schedules of Condition and more, facilitating inspections at every stage. No need for return site visits when the 3D model can be accessed via smartphone or computer quickly and conveniently
Construction Project Documentation - Consolidate collections of project management documents for construction into a few 3D models. This can include keeping accurate records of architectural, structural and MEP designs, all of which can be annotated and shared by stakeholders with ease online, straight from the browser.
At Methodico we readily use advanced 3D mapping and scanning for property surveying and documentation, refurbishment and facility management, and to facilitate viewer engagement and communication. We believe that virtual tours are an extremely capable and cost-effective tool helping to showcase, document and archive physical spaces.
