Never commissioned a land survey before? We explain the process from first contact to final deliverable, so you know exactly what to expect at every stage.

There was a time, not that long ago, when a measured building survey meant two surveyors, a distometer, a tape measure, and a pad of sketch paper. Every measurement taken by hand, every dimension recorded on site, and every drawing produced afterwards from notes that required a good deal of experience to interpret. It worked, but it took time. A lot of it. March kept us particularly busy at GeoShape Surveys, taking us up and down the country to complete measured building surv
