Detail, contour and topographic surveys for planning and design
A detail survey records site levels, contours, structures and visible features to help architects, engineers and planners understand a site before design work progresses. It is also commonly called a contour or topographic survey.
The information needed depends on your project. Tell SurveyWorx what you are planning and share any drawings or survey requirements from your project team so the scope can be discussed before work begins.
Discuss the survey scope for your project
Share your site address, project plans and any requirements from your architect, engineer or planner. The team can discuss the information needed for your site and the next steps for a quote.
Before commissioning the survey, confirm the features to be recorded, any access requirements and the plan or file formats needed by your project team.
FAQs
Our answers to your questions.
Why do I need a detail survey?
A detail survey gives your design team information about the existing site, including levels and visible features. Discuss the survey requirements for your project with your architect, engineer or planner before commissioning the work.
What does a detail survey include?
A detail survey records site levels, contours and visible features relevant to the agreed scope. Share your project plans and any specific requirements with SurveyWorx so the features to be included can be discussed. Confirm any boundary, easement, adjoining-site or service information your project team needs as part of that scope.
Will a detail survey assist with a DA or CDC application?
Detail survey information can support planning and design work. Ask your project team to confirm the survey information needed for your particular proposal, then share those requirements with SurveyWorx. The survey scope should match the requirements for your project; it does not by itself guarantee an approval.
