Surveying Services
Construction Surveying
Accurate surveying services supporting construction projects through precise setting out of axes, coordinates, elevations and design elements on site in accordance with approved drawings and engineering data.
Accurate Transfer of Design to Site
The essential link between engineering design and field execution
Construction Surveying is one of the essential surveying activities associated with the execution stages of construction projects. It converts approved engineering drawings and design data into accurately defined points, axes, coordinates and elevations on the ground.
Construction surveying helps project execution teams accurately locate structural, architectural, road and infrastructure elements while providing a reliable surveying reference throughout the different stages of construction.
The work includes setting out axes, coordinates, elevations and the locations of various elements, as well as verifying the position and dimensions of constructed works against approved designs. This helps identify deviations at an early stage, reduce construction errors and minimize rework.
Surveying methods and equipment are selected according to the project requirements and required accuracy, with the use of Total Station, GNSS / RTK, Digital Level and Laser Measurement technologies, while maintaining the approved project coordinate and elevation reference system.
Construction Surveying Scope

Construction Accuracy Starts with Accurate Setting Out
Construction surveying provides the direct link between engineering design and actual field execution. Accurate coordinates, axes and elevations ensure that structural, architectural and infrastructure elements are positioned correctly according to approved drawings.
Continuous surveying verification also helps identify deviations and construction errors at an early stage, reducing rework while supporting construction quality and compliance with approved designs and engineering requirements.
