Topographical surveys, also known as land surveys (or, more colloquially, a topo survey) are used by professionals in the design and planning stage of a project. Topographical surveys are an indispensable tool for professionals and are vital in reducing the risk of costly mistakes caused by unforeseen issues.  

Topographical survey plans are delivered digitally, in CAD format, and will show all features (both natural and man-made) such as buildings, boundaries, service covers and site levels within a specified area. All such details can be delivered in either 2D or 3D, depending on the needs of the client.
