Whether a site is subject to a change of use or is planned for development, a high quality and up to date plan represents an essential basis for assessment, planning and subsequent design works. This plan and its derivatives will most likely be an integral part of the whole development project life-cycle and must therefore be of an appropriate accuracy and detail.
Wherever possible LandScope will encourage the client’s involvement in the definition of survey specifications – this may be simply the agreement of end-user generated specifications or a check-list approach to level of survey detail. In cases where such a process is not possible then we work to the RICS Specification Guidelines standard.
The presentation of topographical survey data may vary from 2D paper plots through to sophisticated 3D digital models. LandScope places emphasis on agreeing the deliverable format with the customer and/or end-user so as to ensure this is best suited to its future application.
3D digital terrain models are easily generated within our Autodesk Civil 3D software from which sectional information and complex volumetric (cut and fill) models may be generated. As Civil 3D calculates volumes automatically using a single, intelligent model, it is both extremely fast and accurate. This model creates relationships between objects so that design changes update without further intervention. In other words, a change to one part of the design can propagate throughout an entire project.
Rigorous quality control has been designed in to our data acquisition, data processing management and presentation process. A registry of drawing reference and revision forms the basis of our quality system; data and results from all stages of survey works are routinely and independently checked by senior survey personnel.
