Engineering and Construction Surveys
Engineering and construction surveys keep a build on line, on level, and on schedule. Axis Geo-System Consultants provides setting-out, progress monitoring, and as-built surveys for contractors and developers throughout the construction lifecycle.
What It Involves
This service covers every survey task a construction project needs after design is complete: staking out foundations and structural grids to the exact design coordinates, monitoring excavation and structural progress against design levels, and producing as-built drawings once construction is finished for handover and compliance records.
Our Process
- 1Review of approved structural/architectural design drawings
- 2Establishment of site control points tied to the design coordinate system
- 3Setting-out of foundations, grids, and key structural elements
- 4Periodic progress and deformation monitoring during construction
- 5As-built survey and documentation at project completion
Deliverables
- Setting-out reports and marked reference points
- Progress/monitoring survey reports
- As-built survey drawings
- Volumetric and earthworks calculations where required
Ideal For
- Building contractors and site engineers
- Real estate developers managing multiple units
- Infrastructure contractors (roads, pipelines, power lines)
- Project managers requiring compliance documentation
Frequently Asked Questions
What is setting out in construction?
Setting out is the process of physically marking the exact position of a structure's foundations, walls, and key reference points on the ground, based on the approved design drawings, before and during construction.
Why do I need an as-built survey?
An as-built survey records what was actually constructed, which can differ slightly from the design. It's required for occupation certificates, facilities management, future renovations, and confirming the structure was built within approved boundaries and specifications.
