Topographic Surveys

Topographic Surveys

(Detail Surveys)

Topographic or ‘Detail Surveys’ are a basic prerequisite for building and land development. In most cases, the purpose of a Topographic Survey is to indicate features on and adjacent to a property. They are required to determine the existing conditions and elevations of a site.

A Topographic Survey is a vital component of a successful development application. They are used by architects and engineers to create accurate and appropriate designs based on existing conditions and surroundings.
