Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
A site setting out survey translates the design drawings into physical points on the ground. It establishes the exact locations for buildings, roads, utilities, and other structures to ensure construction is accurate and complies with engineering plans.
Without accurate setting out, structures can be misaligned or result in costly rework. SmartGrid Surveying ensures your project is built exactly as designed, maintaining legal and engineering compliance while saving time and resources.
The duration depends on the project size and complexity. SmartGrid Surveying provides a detailed timeline before starting, ensuring transparency. For example, a residential plot may take 1–2 days, while larger commercial or infrastructure sites may take several days.
Yes. SmartGrid Surveying places markers, pegs, or paint markings on the ground according to design coordinates, ensuring builders and contractors can accurately follow the plans.
Absolutely. By aligning structures according to cadastral plans and approved drawings, SmartGrid Surveying ensures construction respects property boundaries, minimizing conflicts with neighbors or local authorities.
After a site setting out survey, SmartGrid Surveying provides: 1. Survey drawings showing all marked points. 2. Coordinates of reference points. 3. Verification report confirming alignment with design. 4. Certificates for legal or regulatory purposes if needed.
Initial marking is done before construction begins. SmartGrid Surveying recommends follow-up checks at key stages (foundation, floor slabs, road alignment) to maintain accuracy throughout the construction process.
Yes. SmartGrid Surveying operates under the Survey Act, Cap 299, and all work is performed by licensed surveyors. We also comply with county planning regulations and building codes.
