The company was formed 12 years ago by Daren Oliver. The main objective of the company was to provide a professional but personal surveying and setting out service to Engineering and Architectural Consultancy’s in the area. The link was then made between these consultancies and the construction company’s which carried out the various projects in the Wales and West Areas.
Director, Mr Daren Oliver. The nature of our business is Land Surveying and all aspects of Site Setting Out, Elevations and Cad Design and GPS Surveying. The objective of the Company is to provide a personal but professional service to Developers and Design Consultants within the Civil Engineering and Construction Industry.
The instrumentation will be to a latest, high specification which integrates the latest software packages. Surveyor, Mr Daren Oliver has over 28 years experience in the industry as an engineer and contracts manager.
During the last 12 years we have carried out all aspects of surveying. Especially sites at an early stage of development. It’s important that the surveyor has knowledge of what the client and the consultant’s objectives are so that nothing is overlooked however small. The detail that is put into an initial survey could have a large bearing on feasibility and costs.
All our surveys are related to OS Datum and Grid. This is done with GPS instrumentation and enhanced with more traditional instruments and practices. We have undertaken numerous surveys many of which require all aspects of the area to be surveyed, so that a topographical survey can be produced as well as elevations. It’s the complete survey package so that the consultant can get a “feel” for the project.
Knowledge in the construction of roads and footpaths is also important as different surfaces need to be recorded on the survey so that similar materials are used. Any defects are recorded so that costings for remedial works can be calculated and placed into any relevant budget. Road gradients, cambers and drainage will also be indicated on the drawing. A 3D contoured survey will highlight any drainage issues etc. Photographs of the survey area are taking and place into the survey package. This enables the consultant / client to get a visual perspective and enhance the survey plan. The full survey package allows the project to be designed to the highest standard.
