Everything you need to know before getting started.
About Me
No, I'm an independent surveyor with 7+ years of experience, offering a direct, cost-effective service. You deal with me personally from the initial enquiry through to delivery of the final drawings.
Yes, for most small to medium jobs. For larger or more complex projects I collaborate with trusted professionals to ensure the work is completed to the same high standard, on time.
I am a candidate for RICS chartership, actively working towards becoming a fully Chartered Surveyor. Throughout this process I adhere to the professional and ethical standards set by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.
About Services
I offer land and topographical surveys, measured building surveys, setting out, structural monitoring, as-built surveys and boundary surveys — across residential, commercial and graded listed buildings. I also have extensive experience in high-precision infrastructure setting out on major UK projects. All drawings are delivered to your CAD specification in DWG, PDF or point cloud format. If you have a requirement not listed here, feel free to get in touch.
I use Leica and Trimble robotic total stations, GNSS (GPS) receivers and 3D laser scanners. Survey data and point clouds are processed using LSS, Leica Cyclone 360, Cyclone Register and CloudWorx. Final drawings are produced in AutoCAD. All equipment is regularly calibrated and all measurements are carried out to your project specification.
Yes. I can deliver survey data in DWG, PDF, point cloud and other formats — structured to your layer standard and CAD specification so the drawings are ready to use straight away. Just let me know what works best for you and your design team.
About the Survey Process
This varies depending on the size and complexity of the project. As a general guide, a measured building survey of a three-bedroom house typically takes 4–5 hours on site, followed by 2–3 days of office processing to produce the final drawings. Larger or more complex projects will take longer. Fast turnaround is available on request — just let me know if you have a deadline and I will do my best to accommodate it. I'll always give you a realistic timeframe before starting work.
To help the survey run as smoothly as possible, it helps to: provide access to all areas that need to be surveyed; clear any obstacles where possible; inform occupants or neighbours as appropriate; share any existing drawings or relevant documents; and arrange any necessary permissions for access to neighbouring land if required. I'll go through all of this with you when we confirm the booking.
Pricing depends on the type, size and complexity of the project. As a guide, site visit rates start from £450 per day. For a more accurate quote, get in touch with details about your project — location, building type and what you need — and I'll come back to you promptly with a tailored figure. All quotes are free and no-obligation.
Coverage & Availability
I primarily cover the Midlands, but I am available for nationwide projects if required. Travel costs may apply for projects outside the Midlands region — please get in touch for a quote.
Standard working hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30 to 17:00. However, I can accommodate urgent jobs on weekends or outside regular hours if the project requires it. Please mention this when you get in touch and I'll do my best to help.
Simply visit the Contact page, fill in the form with your details and a brief description of what you need, and I will get back to you to discuss your requirements and arrange a suitable date.
