Construction surveying that keeps your build on schedule

Precise setouts, control networks, and as-built documentation delivered autonomously by surveyors who understand construction sequencing — so you can focus on building, not managing contractors.

Built for construction teams

Projects don't slow down for surveying delays. Our team understands construction sequencing, works autonomously and delivers accurate data that keeps trades moving.

  • Construction experience

    We understand how surveying fits into the wider construction program—not just the technical task.

  • Autonomous delivery

    We integrate with your team and get on with the job, without creating additional coordination.

  • Millimetre accuracy

    Reliable setouts, control networks and as-builts that minimise rework and keep your project on track.

  • Commercial awareness

    We understand programme pressures, budgets and deadlines, delivering surveying that supports project outcomes.

You need surveying partners who understand construction sequencing, operate autonomously, and deliver data you can trust the first time — so your build stays on program.

What We Deliver

Pre-Construction Surveys

  • Site establishment and control networks
  • Primary and secondary control point establishment
  • GPS and total station control networks accurate to project tolerances
  • Coordination with design team for datum and coordinate systems
  • Site boundary verification and setout reference points
  • Contour and detail surveys for accurate design and engineering plans

What you get: Foundation for all construction surveying: established once, used throughout project duration

Construction Setouts

  • Foundation setouts for footings, piles, and basement excavations
  • Concrete formwork positioning for walls, columns, and floor slabs
  • Steel structure setouts for erection and connection points
  • MEP rough-in positioning and penetration coordination
  • Floor level setouts and datum transfer between levels
  • Finished floor level verification before finishes installation
  • Drainage and fall verification for wet areas and external paving
  • Ceiling height checks and clearance verification

What you get: Millimetre-level accuracy that keeps trades on schedule and prevents costly rework from positioning errors

Monitoring Surveys

  • Regular monitoring to verify structure is built to design tolerances
  • Monitoring of adjacent buildings or structures
  • Deformation monitoring of formwork and temporary structures
  • Settlement monitoring of foundations and adjacent structures
  • Alignment checks for linear infrastructure (roads, rail, pipelines)

What you get: Early detection of issues when intervention is cheap, not after construction is complete

Note: for automated continuous monitoring, see Monitum Structural Monitoring.

As-Built Documentation

  • As-built surveys of completed structures, including all deviations from design
  • Dimensional verification for compliance and handover
  • Underground service location and as-built utility mapping
  • Final floor levels, building footprints, and site improvements
  • CAD drawings compatible with project BIM/design software
  • Point cloud data for detailed as-built modelling
  • Comprehensive reports documenting construction accuracy

What you get: Accurate record of what was actually built — essential for facility management, warranty claims, and future renovations

Applications

  • High-Rise Construction
  • Civil Infrastructure
  • Industrial & Commercial
  • Basements & Excavations

Why Choose Land Solution for Construction Surveying

We understand construction, not just surveying. Our team has decades of experience on major construction projects. We know what can and can't wait in a project, and we deliver with construction sequencing in mind.

  • Autonomous Operation

    “Set and forget — they worked on the job consistently for 12 months and didn't require us overseeing. Sign them up.”
    — Project Manager, Tier 1 Contractor (7-year partnership)
  • Trusted by Major Builders

    We work with Queensland's leading construction firms on their most complex projects — from 76-storey towers to major civil infrastructure.

  • Accuracy You Can Rely On

    “Land Solution are more expensive than other surveyors, but because their work is so good, the money we spend is worth it. Their work is always accurate — we trust them.”
    — Development Manager (5+ year partnership)

  • Render of Jubilee Place at night, its glass tower and white steel exoskeleton cantilevered over the heritage Jubilee Hotel

    Building and Construction

    Jubilee Place Exoskeleton

    Survey assurance for Jubilee Place's steel exoskeleton, built over the Clem 7 tunnel and beside a heritage hotel. Two methods kept the structure within millimetres of design and the build on time.

  • The WWI tank Mephisto on display in Ipswich, with a laser scanner set up beside it

    Architectural Design, Engineering

    Mephisto Tank

    Laser scanning and 3D modelling to move Mephisto, one of the rarest WWI relics, from Ipswich to the Queensland Museum, with just 40 mm of clearance at the entry.

FAQs

Common questions

When should a construction surveyor be engaged?

Before site works begin. Establishing survey control ahead of excavation avoids compounding errors later, and early involvement lets us align setout methodology with your construction sequence.

What tolerances can you achieve for setouts and control?

Control networks and setouts are delivered to millimetre-level accuracy. The exact tolerance is set by the structure and the specification; we design the control network and observation method to meet it and report against it.

Do you provide as-built surveys in BIM or CAD formats?

Yes. As-builts are delivered in the formats your design team and asset owner use, including CAD drawings compatible with project BIM software, point clouds and conformance reports against the design.

Can you monitor neighbouring buildings during excavation?

Yes. We install monitoring points on adjacent structures, retaining walls and heritage assets, observe them on an agreed schedule and report movement against trigger levels set by your engineer. For continuous automated monitoring we work with Monitum.

Where do you work?

Across Southeast Queensland, including Greater Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, Ipswich and Logan, from our office in Milton.
