Site setting out survey services for construction projects

Site Setting Out Surveys .

Our surveyors use advanced GPS and Robotic Total Stations to accurately carry out site setting out tasks.

A site setting out survey translates the design drawings for your project into accurate positions and levels on the ground, so the construction team knows exactly where to build. Our setting out surveyors work closely with contractors throughout the build to keep everything on line and on level.

Reliable setting out for every stage of construction

We provide construction setting out for house plots, roads, drainage, boundaries and other site features, using the same accuracy and equipment as our topographical survey team. This consistency helps avoid conflicts between the original survey and the setting out on site.

Our setting out surveyors are used to working around live construction sites and can fit in with your programme to avoid delays.

Working alongside your site team

Good communication is a big part of setting out work. We aim to explain clearly what has been set out and where, and we are happy to return to site as the build progresses to check levels and positions as needed.

Because TAG also carries out topographical and as built surveys, we can support your project from the very first site visit through to the final record drawings.

FAQs About Site Setting Out Surveys

A site setting out survey marks out the exact position and level of buildings, roads, drainage and other features on site, based on the approved design drawings.

Contractors and developers use setting out surveyors to make sure a construction project is built in the correct position and to the correct levels, reducing the risk of costly mistakes.

Setting out usually happens before groundworks begin and is often revisited at key stages throughout the build to check that construction is following the design.

Yes. Many of our clients bring us back to site at different stages of construction to check and re confirm setting out as the project progresses.

Yes. Setting out often follows on from a topographical survey we have already carried out, and can lead into as built surveys once construction is complete.
