What is Setout Construction Survey? Setout survey is a method used to build set out structures such as roads, railways, tunnels, bridges, buildings, etc. It is a process that involves planning, designing, building, testing, and finally maintaining. The main goal of this survey is to ensure safety, efficiency, and quality during the entire project life cycle.

The first step in set out construction survey is to plan the route and determine the number of lanes, widths, elevations, and types of materials needed. This includes determining the type of terrain, whether there will be any grade changes, how many curves, turns, and intersections there will be, what kind of traffic lights there will be, and where they will be located.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a construction set-out survey?
A construction set-out survey precisely marks the position of a proposed building, structure, or infrastructure on a construction site. Surveyors place physical marks that builders use as reference points during construction.
When do I need a set-out survey?
You need a set-out survey before starting construction to ensure the building is positioned correctly on the lot, meeting all setback requirements and matching the approved plans.
How accurate is a set-out survey?
Set-out surveys are extremely accurate, typically to within a few millimetres. We use total station and GPS equipment to ensure positions match the approved architectural plans precisely.
What happens if the set-out is wrong?
An incorrect set-out can result in the building encroaching on setbacks, easements, or boundaries — potentially requiring demolition and rebuilding. This is why using a registered surveyor is essential.
