Why Multi-Dwelling Projects Need Ongoing Surveying Support
A multi-dwelling development can involve several stages, with each stage requiring accurate information.
Understanding the Existing Site
A detail contour survey records important information about the existing property, including visible features and site levels. This gives the design team a clearer picture of the land before planning or design work begins.
Recording Site Levels
Changes in ground level can affect building design, drainage and how a property is developed. Accurate level information helps the project team understand the slope and shape of the site.
Capturing Existing Features
The survey records relevant visible features on and around the property. This information can help architects, engineers and other consultants work from a consistent site reference.
Providing a Reliable Base for Design
Starting with current survey information helps reduce uncertainty during the early stages of a project. The survey plan can provide useful information for the next steps in design and planning.
Building a Clear Picture of the Existing Site
A detail contour survey can provide useful site information before design and planning decisions are made.
01 | Site Information
Recording Existing Conditions
The survey records relevant visible features and ground information across the property. This helps establish a clear picture of the existing site.
02 | Levels and Contours
Understanding the Shape of the Land
Ground levels and contours help show changes in elevation across the site. This information can be useful when considering building design, drainage and site planning.
03 | Design Reference
Supporting the Next Stage
Architects, engineers and other consultants can use the survey information as a reference when developing plans and assessing the site.
04 | Project Planning
Using Current Site Information
Starting with current survey information gives the project team a stronger base for the next planning or design stage. The surveyor can also advise if further surveying is required as the project develops.
Good Site Planning Starts With Reliable Survey Information
A residential project can involve many decisions before construction begins.
Architects, engineers, builders and other consultants may need accurate information about the property.
Starting with reliable survey information can help the project team understand the site before important design decisions are made.
If the project moves into later stages, further surveying may be required to support construction or other project needs.
For a residential property, the first step may be a detail contour survey that records the existing site.
Having the right survey information at the right stage helps the project team make decisions with a clearer understanding of the property.
