Setting Out Surveys

Purpose

Once an architect or engineer has prepared an accurate plan of a proposed development we can then set out roads, buildings, services, boundaries etc. with pegs on the ground.

When the foundations for a building have been poured we can also accurately set out the internal/external walls with steel nails as markers. Gridlines and columns can also be set out.

When JM Surveys sets out points on a site, the client can be assured that these points are in the right place as per the plan.
