Construction setout surveys for your project
A setout survey transfers agreed design positions onto a construction site so the building team can locate the parts of the work included in the survey scope. It supports the construction stage, rather than providing the initial detail and contour information used for design.
Share the relevant project drawings and tell us which parts of the work need to be set out. Confirm with your project team which plan revision applies before arranging the survey. We can discuss the scope, access and information needed for a quote.
Prepare the right information before booking
Tell SurveyWorx your project stage, the work to be set out and when your building team needs the information. Provide the relevant drawings, any written survey requirements and details of site access or construction activity.
Agree which positions need to be marked and how the resulting information will be handed over to your project team. Confirm whether the quote covers one visit or several stages, and discuss any further attendance separately if the plans or site conditions change.
FAQs
Our answers to your questions.
When should I arrange a construction setout survey?
Discuss the construction sequence and required survey stages with your builder or project adviser. Share the relevant drawings, project status and requested dates with SurveyWorx before booking so the scope, access and suitable timing can be discussed.
What should I provide for a setout survey quote?
Provide the site location, the relevant plan revision and a description of the work to be set out. Include any written survey requirements, access information and requested timing. Confirm which positions, deliverables and site visits are included in the agreed scope.
What if the plans change or a setout mark is disturbed?
Tell your project team and SurveyWorx about the change or disturbed mark before relying on the affected setout information. Confirm which drawing revision applies and whether a review or further site visit is needed. Any additional work and its timing should be agreed as part of the scope.
