Surveying Darlington
Site information for regeneration, industrial and development projects.
We support architects, engineers, developers, contractors and property owners throughout Darlington with accurate site plans, levels, contours and 3D survey data.
From town-centre property and occupied housing to industrial estates, distribution premises, business parks, greenfield sites, highways and rail-related land, every survey is scoped around the project’s intended use.
Survey methods are selected around the site, programme, access and deliverables, with field data checked before issue in practical CAD, PDF and 3D formats.
Accurate surveys for complex industrial, logistics and development sites.
What we can capture

How we survey
The method follows the site.
We use robotic total stations, GNSS, laser scanning and drone survey methods where appropriate, choosing the approach around access, site conditions, accuracy and required outputs.
Where required, surveys can be coordinated to OSGB36 and Ordnance Datum Newlyn, or to an agreed project or local grid and datum.

Frequently asked questions
Topographical surveys in Darlington.
Send the site location, survey boundary and intended use and we can recommend the right scope and provide a clear quotation.
Do you provide topographical surveys throughout Darlington?+
Yes. We cover Darlington and the wider borough, including Central Park, Lingfield Point, Morton Park, Faverdale, West Park, Cockerton, Mowden, Haughton-le-Skerne, Harrowgate Hill, Hurworth and Middleton St George.
What is included in a topographical survey?+
The scope can include buildings, boundaries, levels, contours, drainage, roads, kerbs, trees, visible utilities, street furniture and other relevant site features.
How much does a topographical survey cost?+
Our topographical surveys start from £500 + VAT for straightforward small sites. Final cost depends on site area, detail density, access and vegetation, complexity, required accuracy, grid / datum, deliverables and turnaround.
How long does a survey take?+
Small sites may only require a short field visit, while larger or more complex sites can require several field and office days. We confirm the expected programme with the quotation.
Do I need a topographical survey for planning?+
Many planning and design projects need an accurate existing-site plan so proposed layouts and levels can be prepared against the real site. Your architect or planning consultant can confirm the exact requirement.
Can the survey include underground utilities?+
A standard topo records visible service features. Buried utility detection and PAS128 survey services can be added where required.
Can you work to OSGB36 and Ordnance Datum Newlyn?+
Yes. Surveys can be related to OSGB36 coordinates and Ordnance Datum Newlyn levels, or completed on an agreed project / local grid and datum.
What do you need for a quotation?+
Send the site address or location, a plan showing the survey boundary, what the survey will be used for, any consultant specification and the required deadline or output.
