Construction Surveys

At Rouse Surveyors construction surveying is one of our specialties.

As licensed cadastral surveyors we interpret the plans provided and identify boundaries. We perform construction layouts to make sure any new buildings, roads or structures planned fall within the necessary setbacks required by the municipality’s planning department. Finally, to close the project we provide as-built surveys, also known as Surveyor’s Real Property Reports.

As-built surveys act as a final record of your project, outlining dimensions and locations for all the buildings, structures and infrastructure found on the project site. As-built surveys can also be used to show any variances from the original plan.

Our Construction Services Go Beyond The Basics

Throughout your construction project, we can:

• Perform construction stakeouts, where we use ground stakes to mark out reference points that guide the construction layout
• Perform construction layouts of all features; from structural, architectural building features to landscaping (hardscape and softscape); construction layouts help to accurately bring your vision to reality, from the paper plans to the project site
• Verify and stakeout the correct location of formwork before concrete pours and survey post-pours to determine accuracy
• Check steel alignment and anchor bolts for column installation
• Verify structure alignment including columns, beams and elevator shafts
• Verify location of drilled pier foundations
• Check for plumbness between floors in high-rise construction and on shoring piles
• Confirm slab flatness or elevator shaft plumbness using 3-D laser scanning
• Provide soil pile scanning and volume calculations for earthworks
