What a Contour and Detail Survey Is
Typically, a contour & detail survey provides the location and levels of existing areas by surveying at ground level, underground and above ground (services).
It takes in features including trees, footpaths and other key surroundings/structures within your land parcel. It also includes some detail on an adjoining property if required.
The amount of detail provided depends on the scope provided by your architect and what your project entails.
What Equipment is Used
The field component is done using modern equipment including Robotic Total Stations, GNSS and electronic levels.
The total stations have a reflector less distance, measuring capabilities that allow measuring to features such as eaves, roof ridges etc. without access. Each feature on the ground is physically located in 3 dimensions very accurately, most surveys contain hundreds of measurements.
These measurements are then downloaded onto a computer and a 3-dimensional model is created. This is then plotted out in PDF format and supplied to the client. A CAD file containing the 3D model is also supplied.
Why You Need It
Contour and detail surveys are essential for planning any development or building work. Completing this process prior to the design phase will assist your architect/design team in designing your new home or extension.
It assists them in generating the best design possible for your site and making it compliant with local councils. It also protects you against future implications in regards to flooding.
