Construction Survey & Layout

Surveying Services

Dec 10

Service Description

Every construction project starts with a set of plans. These plans have to be translated into three dimensional points that have to be laid out in the field for the contractor to start his work.

Generally, the plans start with a reference to the property lines, and set an origin point. Our field crews establish the origin point, interpret the plans and establish the framework for all the work to follow, whether it be foundations, piles, columns, floor beams, floor penetrations, embeds for pre-cast sections of offsets to neighboring structures or other elements.

Depending on the needs of the contractor, we can provide axis lines, benchmarks, foundation and column as-built surveys, pre-shore and post-shore readings, slab thickness and leveling data, slab cut outs, penetrations, elevator shaft locations, stairwells, area, volume/quantity surveys and as-built condition surveys. Our team also provides a final survey useful for mortgage/financing purposes and for filing with the NYC Department of Buildings for a Certificate of Occupancy.
