Utility, GPR & Topographical Survey Guides
Practical answers for contractors, developers, architects and engineers in Central Scotland.
Straight answers about utility and topographical surveys
Booking a utility or topographical survey raises the same questions again and again: which PAS128 quality level you need, what it will cost, whether you need a survey for planning, and where utility records come from in Scotland. These guides answer them in plain English, based on the work our surveyors carry out across Glasgow, Edinburgh, Falkirk, Cumbernauld, Stirling, Perth and the rest of Central Scotland.
If your question isn’t covered, call us on 0345 548 5451 or email us and one of our surveyors will help.
