Construction Surveying
Buckton Surveyors and Planners carry out a wide range of high-quality construction surveying services to ensure your project runs smoothly.
At the beginning of a project, a topographical survey provides an accurate and detailed representation of the ground, including elevation, contours, existing structures and natural features. By providing a comprehensive understanding of the site's characteristics, you will improve decision-making, reduce risks, and facilitate efficient project planning and design.
As construction progresses, we can ensure earthworks proceed efficiently through real-time setout of design features and provide accurate positioning and alignment of buildings, roads, structures and underground services relative to the property boundaries.
As-built surveys to obtain Council signoffs are also regularly completed by our team.
Solutions we offer:
Topographical surveys for architectural or engineering design
Confirming the correct location of legal boundaries
Construction/earthworks set-out
Volume measurements
As built surveys
Residential building set-out and siting certification for Council
Height to boundary (HIRB) checks and certification
Bulk Earthworks
Buckton was engaged to carry out a UAV survey to ascertain bulk earthwork volumes across a large Watercare site in Snells Beach. The site had been subject to a large earthworks project, and total volumes were critical to contract obligations.
UAV allowed for a fast, safe, survey of the site, eliminating hazards and risk to staff.
Dedicated image-processing software gave us a point cloud of over 80,000,000 points across the site. Using this solution, we were able to generate a 3D model of the finished surface and compare this to original survey data from before earthworks began.
The results validated contractor payment claims.
