Topographic Feature and Level Survey

Topographic surveys from Gem land surveying are perfect for retail, commercial and industrial property needs.

If you are looking to make extensions, additions or erect a new build on your land a topographic survey can map your land with extreme accuracy and attention to detail, allowing you to capture the landmarks on your land in the design phase of your project. By capturing this level of detail in the design phase you are setting your project up for success and not leaving anything to chance.

A Topographic survey delivered by Gem land surveying captured the contours of the land including slopes, depressions and valleys. A Topographic survey allows you to highlight both natural and man-made landmarks including plants, trees, buildings, alleys, roads and boundaries. As well natural and manmade landmarks this style of survey also includes elevations, road names and fine building detail, giving your construction team all the information that may require to build your design to accuracy. 

Why do I need a topographical feature and level survey?

A topographical feature and level survey is needed to build and construction during the planning phase and is also used as a reference during the building phase.

 The style of survey may also be used when preparing a piece of land for sale to help estimate the land value.
