Land Surveyors, Topographical Surveys, Measured Building Surveys and Site Engineering in Yorkshire and Throughout the UK. Photogrammetry: UAV-RPAS for topo, 3D modelling, building elevations, etc. As Built Surveys - Section 38, 104, 278 etc. Our equipment consists of the most up to date laser measuring devices including Leica MS series robotic total stations.
The use of laptops and other on site processing facilities enables us to swiftly compute data in the field. Data can be supplied in various formats including AutoCAD (DWG & DXF), Adobe PDF and ASCII. All survey data can also be provided in full colour on paper or film in any size from A4 to A0.
We are a small, independent & professional practice of highly skilled land surveyors & site engineers with many years experience producing bespoke surveys including topographical surveys and measured building surveys for a varied client base including architects, house builders, supermarkets and public bodies such as the NHS & HM Forces.
Thanks to our proximity to the A1/M1 and M62 we provide a competitive service across the entire country, using the very latest in surveying equipment to enable speedy and precise surveys.

A survey to determine the configuration, relief or elevation of a portion of the earth's surface, including the location of natural and/or man-made features thereon.
In most cases (and it should be in all cases) a land survey (or topographical survey as they are also known) is the first stage of a construction project.
Having an accurate topographical survey gives your ideas the very best start; your architect will be able to create a precise design, you'll give yourself the best chance of success with the planning department, your engineers can easily make calculations and the survey control required for eventual setting-out is established right from the start which greatly reduces the chance of errors and simplifies any additional measurements.

At First Point Surveys we use the latest in data collection and measuring techniques to produce Measured Building Surveys to the highest accuracy in the shortest reasonable time.
All measuring equipment is Bluetooth enabled meaning that as each measure is taken (using either a Leica Disto D8 or Leica total station), it is automatically uploaded onto handheld PC's.
This enables us to 'draw-up' floor plans on-site and to calculate/correct any misclosures as they occur.
Gross errors are found and corrected before leaving site.

Once planning permission is obtained and your Architect/Engineer has completed the design of your project the next step is setting-out.
This involves marking-out positions of main structural elements from the design onto the ground, usually steelwork gridlines, external building lines, foundations, construction offsets, drainage positions etc.
The process is much the same as topographical surveying only applied in reverse.
With suitable construction drawings and site control we can achieve millimetre approx.

The measurement and tracking of the alteration and shape or dimension of a structure/feature whether natural or man made.
When a client instructs us to monitor for deformation (movement) of a structure, we use specialist, high precision instruments specifically built for this purpose.
The total stations we use are either 1" or 0.5", the later of which equates to to 0.24mm at 100m range which is only 2.4mm at 1000m range.
That said measurements are usually limited to a maximum range of 50m, therefore giving us an angle accuracy of 0.12mm.

The practice of determining the geometric properties of objects from photographic images, output is typically a map, drawing or 3D model.
In survey practice photogrammetry is typically used to record information concerning land, buildings or structures to create 3D data which in turn can be used for whatever the client requires.
The data output can range from a 2D building elevation to a full photo-realistic rendered model and are normally instructed by engineers, architects, planners, and anyone needing precise maps of an area or feature.
