Engineering Survey
At Cura Surveys, we provide accurate and reliable engineering survey services for construction, infrastructure, refurbishment and development projects.
Our surveys give engineers, contractors, architects and project teams the precise site information they need to design, set out, monitor and deliver works with confidence.
Using professional survey equipment and experienced surveyors, we capture accurate site data and provide clear, practical deliverables tailored to each project.
What is Engineering Survey?
An engineering survey is a precise measurement survey used to support the design, construction and verification of engineering works. It can include setting out building positions, checking levels, monitoring movement, surveying structures, recording existing site conditions, or providing accurate control and coordinates for construction teams. Engineering surveys are commonly required before, during and after construction to make sure that works are correctly positioned, aligned and built to the required tolerances.
Why our Engineering Surveys stand out?
At Cura Surveys, we understand that engineering survey data must be accurate, dependable and easy to use.
Our surveys are carried out by experienced surveyors using professional equipment, including total stations, laser scanners, GNSS, precise levelling instruments and specialist survey software.
We combine practical site experience with strong technical knowledge, allowing us to provide survey information that is not only accurate, but also useful for real construction and design work.
We also understand programme pressure. Whether you need urgent setting out, level checks, as-built verification or detailed site measurements, we work efficiently and communicate clearly throughout the process.

Who Needs an Engineering Survey?
Engineering surveys are useful for:
- Structural engineers needing accurate existing site or building geometry
- Civil engineers designing roads, drainage, levels or external works
- Contractors requiring setting out, control points or construction checks
- Architects coordinating design with existing site conditions
- Developers assessing sites before construction or redevelopment
- Project managers needing reliable survey information for programme planning
- Quantity surveyors and consultants reviewing site conditions
- Local authorities and infrastructure teams managing public works
- Rail, bridge and highway contractors requiring accurate engineering data
- Property owners planning major alterations, extensions or redevelopment works
The time required depends on the size, complexity and purpose of the survey. A small level check or setting out visit may only take a few hours, while larger engineering, infrastructure or monitoring projects may require several site visits. We will confirm the expected timescale when preparing your quotation.
We normally need the site address, project scope, any available drawings, the required deliverables, accuracy requirements and any access information. For setting out or control work, we may also need design drawings, grid information, coordinates or datum details.
Yes. We can establish survey control points, site grids, level datums and permanent ground markers where required. These can be used for setting out, future surveys, construction checks and coordination between project teams.
Yes. We can set out grid lines, building positions, structural elements, levels, boundaries, drainage positions, external works and other design information on site. The setting out information must be provided in a suitable format before the work begins.
Yes. We can measure completed or partially completed works and compare them against design information where required. As-built surveys are useful for checking position, levels, alignment, verticality and construction accuracy.
Yes. We can provide structural movement monitoring, level monitoring, deformation checks and repeated survey measurements over time. Monitoring can be arranged as a single visit or as part of an agreed programme.
We use professional survey equipment such as total stations, laser scanners, GNSS receivers, precise levelling instruments and survey software. The equipment used will depend on the site conditions, required accuracy and project scope.
Yes. Engineering surveys can be combined with topographical surveys, measured building surveys, laser scanning, Scan to BIM, utility surveys and monitoring surveys. This can be useful when a project needs a complete survey package.
