Construction Surveying
Construction surveying is how drawings become reality—precise points, lines, and elevations placed on the ground so crews can build exactly what the plans intend. Our field teams translate architectural grids, civil alignments, grades, and control into clear marks your trades can trust. We establish robust horizontal and vertical control, verify benchmarks, and set layout for corners, gridlines, anchor bolts, foundations, walls, utilities, paving, and final grades. Every stake, paint mark, or nail is backed by careful calculations and double-checks, so ironworkers, concrete crews, and site contractors know exactly where to cut, set, pour, and tie. The result is straightforward: fewer reworks, cleaner inspections, and a site that runs on schedule because layout isn’t a guess—it’s a known quantity.
Why Builders And Owners Rely On Our Surveys
Tiny layout errors have big price tags. An anchor bolt pattern set an inch off can throw steel, clash with MEP penetrations, or trigger costly downtime while crews wait for answers. Accurate construction surveying prevents those ripples from forming. It streamlines inspections, protects tolerances, and gives subcontractors a layout they can hit on the first attempt. For owners and construction managers, it reduces change orders, helps maintain critical path dates, and strengthens documentation when questions arise later. We coordinate with design teams to resolve conflicts early, flagging discrepancies between plan sets or revised sheets before they get costly in the field.
The Kinds Of Construction Surveying We Provide
Project needs vary, so our layout adapts. Building work includes grid and baseline establishment, foundation corners, anchor bolt and column line layout, elevator cores, shear walls, and slab embeds. Civil packages typically involve rough and finish grading, curb and gutter, sidewalks, ADA ramps, storm structures and inverts, sanitary and water, and roadway centerlines with offsets. For interiors, we stake wall lines, door openings, sleeve penetrations, equipment pads, trench drains, and critical MEP set-outs. We also handle as-built verification—capturing installed elevations, pipe slopes, and structure locations for closeout—and control extensions for large, multi-phase sites.
Our Process From Kickoff To Closeout
We begin by listening: schedule milestones, pour sequences, tolerances, and the exact layout windows your crews need. After a document review—architectural, structural, civil, addenda, RFIs—we build a clean control framework referenced to project datums and benchmarks. Field layout is performed with calibrated total stations and GNSS, with redundant shots and checks to confirm every critical position. Crews receive legible stakes and markings, plus cut sheets and point lists that match your preferred naming conventions. If design changes land mid-pour (it happens), we turn revisions quickly because our files are organized for traceable updates. Before inspections, we can pre-check slopes, ADA details, and embed positions; after installation, we capture as-built data for submittals and record drawings.
Why AxisLine Is The Right Fit
