Our expert surveyor performs a setting out survey at the construction site, ensuring precise site control and accurate measurements using advanced technology
Comprehensive surveying setting out service
Accurate positioning and levelling for construction projects
At Red Laser, our surveyors deliver reliable setting-out engineer services, including levelling and site control for a wide range of construction projects. Our setting-out surveyors ensure precise positioning and levelling of the site, which are critical for minimising errors and ensuring that structures are built to the correct dimensions.
We utilise advanced surveying equipment, such as Leica robotic total stations, digital levels, and GPS receivers, to guarantee the highest accuracy possible.
Setting out services we provide:
- Establishing primary control networks.
- Quality checks of the existing site control networks, Datums, Retro targets and Nails.
- Aligning design grid lines with project as-built surveys.
- Setting out gridlines, datums, FFLs, etc.
Delivering setting out of structural elements, such as:
- Locations, foundations and footings
- Walls, columns, beams, slab
- Brickwork/Steelwork
- Piling, bolts, anchors
- Drainage systems
- Roads and highways and other
Our expert team conducts a setting out survey for the foundations of a construction site, using precise measurements to ensure accurate alignment for the build
