2. WHO ARE WE? City Surveys is one of the North West's most respected and frequently contracted land surveying and civil engineering firms. We are a vibrant and dynamic company that challenges your expectations of what a surveying and engineering firm can do. Our team of highly skilled engineers and surveyors operate throughout the UK. As well as land surveying services we provide architectural building surveys to t he RICS specification for ‘Surveys of Land, Buildings and Utility Services at Scales of 1:500 and Larger’. Using a range of methods, such as, photogrammetry, laser scanning and real time floor plan software (MBS), City Surveys provide economical and accurate surveys fit for any purpose. Our clients range from small architectural companies to multinational supermarket chains. 2
3. WHY ARE WE DIFFERENT? We only employ the most thorough and highly qualified personnel, people with extensive experience in all areas of geospatial engineering. A ‘turn key’ solution from initial ground investigation, land and building surveys and utilities mapping to site engineering services during construction such as setting-out of earthworks, foundations, formwork and structures. This uniquely comprehensive service means that clients avoid the need to ‘chop and change’ between contractors saving time and money in the process. Since its inception, City Surveys has grown from strength to strength seeing a great many changes along the way. However, employing fewer than 20 staff we are still small enough to offer a personal, bespoke service with one highly knowledgeable point of contact throughout. 3
4. TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEYS With the latest Direct Reflex Robotic Total Stations and RTK GPS units, City Surveys can quickly and accurately produce terrain models of sites deliverable in 2D or 3D and in any format a designer may require. These services are provided to clients on the railway infrastructure, airfields, MOD sites, motorways, to the nuclear industry and in urban centres to Architects. Our deliverables would include all references to our GI work and display all of the findings of our utilities tracing on clear, easily interpreted drawings. 4

6. 6 MEASURED BUILDING SURVEYS PRODUCTION OF BUILDING FLOOR PLANS Using the latest release of MBS building surveying software and modern, touch screen field computers. Data is stored and verified in real-time on site using measuring equipment with Bluetooth connectivity. The result is more efficient survey teams, higher quality and increased productivity. Ultimately, this can mean lower prices for our clients. BUILDING ELEVATIONS Using either laser-scanning or reflectorless instrument techniques, detailed building elevations can be produced to a high degree of accuracy within a short time frame. Our clients regularly commission us to produce plans for everything from private dwellings, supermarkets or listed and elaborate church buildings using these methods.
9. SUMMARY City Surveys is a highly experienced, well respected and frequently contracted multi-disciplined firm of surveyors operating nationally. We have excellent working relationships with many significant architectural practices, construction firms and developers. We provide the complete range of surveying services to architects, from the initial topo surveys and sub-surface scanning/utilities mapping through to 3D laser modelling, conventional elevations and measured building surveys. Through this we can reduce costly delays, cut overheads and eliminate potentially serious breakdowns in communication. A far smoother, more economical and more positive working relationship is experienced than with many other firms. 9
