Topographical Surveys by Cadmap Limited

Accurate Land Surveying for Smarter Planning and Design

At Cadmap Limited, we specialise in delivering highly detailed topographical surveys—also known as topo surveys—that capture the complete physical layout of a site, whether it’s land, property, or a defined boundary. Our surveys are precisely scaled and expertly documented to show both natural features and man-made structures, including their elevations and levels.

We use advanced technology and skilled surveyors to ensure the data you receive is accurate, reliable, and ready for use in design, planning, or construction.

How Cadmap Can Help

Whether you're a homeowner, developer, architect, or engineer, our team can advise on all aspects of topographical and land surveys, including:

  • Choosing the right type of survey for your site

  • Understanding topographical survey costs

  • Explaining how the survey process works

We are always available to discuss your project in detail and help you understand what’s involved before, during, and after your survey.

Why Do You Need a Topographical Survey?

Topographical surveys collect spatial data about the layout and features of land, often tied to the Ordnance Survey grid and elevation datum. Survey points are captured in three dimensions, which enables:

  • Accurate ground modelling

  • 3D visualisations

  • Efficient site planning

These surveys are especially helpful for:

  • Planning applications

  • Home extensions

  • Property development

  • Flood risk assessments


What’s Included in a Topographical Survey?

Each survey is tailored to your specific needs but can typically include:

  • Boundary lines

  • Existing buildings and structures

  • Street furniture (e.g., streetlamps, benches, signage)

  • Trees, vegetation, and landscape features

  • Water channels and levels

  • Ground heights, slopes, and contours

  • Drainage infrastructure

  • Neighbouring property data

Additional Survey Data

We can also integrate other valuable site data to support your project, such as:

  • Cross-sections through complex terrain

  • Spot heights to assess overlooking issues

  • Underground utilities, traced via radar and record integration

Equipment We Use

We employ state-of-the-art equipment for precise measurement and data capture, including:

  • GPS surveying instruments

  • Laser scanning tools

  • AutoCAD software for high-quality 2D/3D drawings

  • Drone technology for hard-to-access areas

All data can be delivered in multiple formats including .dwg, .pdf, or hard copy.

Our Survey Process

Every project follows a structured, efficient process:

  1. Initial consultation to understand your requirements

  2. Define survey specifications for planning or design use

  3. Measure the site size and assess level-of-detail needs

  4. Provide a tailored quote and proposed timescale

  5. Conduct the survey using the most appropriate methods

  6. Process and verify the data

  7. Deliver high-quality survey results ready for your project
