Construction Survey | Expert Site Survey in Construction

Accurate geospatial data is the foundation of every successful construction project. Whether you're breaking ground on a new development, refurbishing existing structures, or managing a multi-phase infrastructure build, the quality of your initial survey determines how efficiently your project progresses. Greenhatch Group Ltd delivers construction surveys that give house builders, developers, contractors, and project managers the precise site information needed to reduce risk, avoid costly errors, and keep projects on schedule.

Why Accurate Survey Data Matters

Construction projects operate on tight margins and demanding timelines. Inaccurate or outdated survey data can lead to design conflicts, on-site rework, compliance issues, and unexpected costs that impact your budget and programme. When your architects and engineers work from reliable topographical information, underground utility mapping, and precise as-built data, they can design with confidence. When your site teams have accurate setting-out information, construction proceeds without costly surprises.

Greenhatch understands that every construction site presents unique challenges. From confined urban plots to sprawling greenfield developments, our construction building surveyors and quantity surveyors work closely with your team to capture the data your project demands. We deploy advanced technologies, including terrestrial laser scanning, mobile mapping, and UAV aerial surveys, to deliver comprehensive site information quickly and cost-effectively.

Our construction survey services support every phase of your development. Before breaking ground, we provide detailed topographical surveys that inform your design team's decisions. We map underground utilities to prevent strikes and service disruptions. During construction, our monitoring surveys track settlement, deformation, and structural movement, ensuring your build stays within tolerance. We offer precise setting-out to translate designs accurately onto site, and detailed as-built surveys that document completed works for handover and future maintenance.

Your project may require volumetric analysis for earthworks, facade surveys for refurbishment schemes, or Building Information Modelling (BIM) data to integrate with your digital workflows. Greenhatch delivers survey outputs in the formats you need, when you need them. Our teams understand construction workflows and work around your site constraints, minimising disruption while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy.

Major construction projects require survey capacity that smaller firms struggle to provide. Greenhatch operates nationwide with over 170 staff across regional offices, allowing us to deploy multiple survey teams simultaneously across your sites. This scalability means we can respond rapidly to urgent survey requirements, support parallel work streams, and adapt to changing project conditions without compromising quality or turnaround times.

We have adopted the most advanced laser scanning equipment, both static and mobile, capturing millions of data points in hours rather than days. This efficiency extends to our use of HP SitePrint for precise robotic internal setting out, alongside the latest GPR Stream technology for utility detection. By investing in these cutting-edge tools, we deliver faster turnarounds, greater accuracy, and more comprehensive data capture across your project lifecycle, from initial surveys through to final setting out and verification.

With over 35 years of geospatial survey experience, Greenhatch has supported construction projects of every scale and complexity. Our track record spans residential developments, commercial builds, transport infrastructure, and utilities projects across the UK and internationally. This depth of experience means we anticipate challenges before they arise and deliver solutions that work in real-world construction environments.

We back our work with £10 million professional indemnity insurance, significantly higher than the industry standard and a reflection of our commitment to your project's security. Unlike competitors who outsource specialist work or offer limited in-house capability, Greenhatch maintains direct control over quality at every stage. If issues arise, we resolve them. We return to site until the survey meets your requirements, providing complete peace of mind that your project data is accurate and dependable.

Greenhatch offers more than data capture. As a one-stop measured consultancy, we support your project from initial feasibility through to final handover. Our construction quantity surveyors provide measurement and cost planning support. Our technical teams advise on survey methodology, deliverable formats, and integration with your wider project workflows. No matter the size or complexity of your scheme, we tailor our service to your specific needs.

Whether you're managing a single plot or a multi-site programme, Greenhatch has the capacity, capability, and commitment to deliver. Your project deserves survey data that reduces uncertainty, supports confident decision-making, and enables efficient construction.
