What the service includes

  • Volume calculation. Accurate calculation of the volumes of excavation, fill and other construction works.
  • Topographic survey. Precise measurement of the terrain to produce accurate survey maps and plans.
  • Setting-out of axes and columns. Locating and marking the exact positions of the axes and columns of a building.
  • Installing a levelling benchmark. Establishing a levelling benchmark for accurate and reliable levelling on site.
  • Setting out the building line. Marking the building line that defines the limits of the construction site in line with the design.
  • Establishing a site survey control network. Building a survey control network that serves as the reference for all construction and installation works.
  • As-built survey. Documenting how the construction works were actually built. Details on the page as-built survey.

Who we work for

For construction companies, investors and private individuals building a house or a building. We have also worked on large industrial sites, for example setting out anchor groups for a 100-metre steel structure at Devnya Cement and monitoring deformations at the Maritsa East 2 power plant. See our completed projects.

Documents required

  • an approved investment project (architecture, structures, surveying part);
  • a construction permit;
  • for opening the construction site: the documents required by the municipality.

Why the surveyor is on site throughout construction

An error in setting out the axes at the first slab carries through to every floor above. That is why we check positions and levels at every key stage: excavation, foundations, columns, slabs. Checking during construction is far cheaper than fixing things afterwards.

On industrial sites, such as steel structures and machine foundations, the accuracy requirements are higher. There we set out anchor groups and monitor deformations during installation and operation.

How the work proceeds

  1. Control network

    We establish a site control network and benchmarks.

  2. Building line

    We set out the building line and the outline of the building.

  3. Stage-by-stage setting-out

    We set out axes, columns and levels at every stage of construction.

  4. As-built survey

    When the works are finished we survey what was built for the documents and the cadastre.

Timeframe

The timeframe depends on the size and complexity of the task and on your specific requirements. We will give you a timeframe together with our quote. The time the relevant institution needs to review the documents comes on top of that.

Frequently asked questions

We use a range of high-precision equipment, including GPS, total stations and drones, to provide accurate and reliable survey data.

Yes. Our projects include Devnya Cement and the Maritsa East 2 power plant.

When the construction site is opened, before excavation starts. Without it construction cannot legally begin.
