A Topographical survey will give architects the information they require to start to develop a scheme on a site.
The latest Leica Captive Total Station Instruments are used to collect data during the survey, a post-survey analysis of the data is then carried out with N4ce software and drawings are produced in CAD format. Drawings are drawn to scale and can be provided in a number of different formats, the most common being DWG and PDF.
