One of the largest multi-disciplinary survey and engineering firms in the UK, The City Surveys Group has been providing professional support to the construction sector since 2003. Delivering precision measurement, investigation and modelling services, we work hand in hand with all stakeholders to deliver a truly integrated approach to construction projects.

From commercial property companies and major national house builders to government departments and local authorities, our client base returns to us time and time again, safe in the knowledge that the service they'll receive will be second to none.

Not only do we model structures, producing three-dimensional models to inform escape routes, we also support fire personnel with hugely informative scan data. We use that very same data to help deliver fire safety training wherever required. To boost our understanding of this complex field, we've invested in and formed a strategic partnership with a leading independent fire consultancy company; a company staffed by time-served former fire service professionals. In doing so we've been able to offer a level of insight and a range of inspection and assessment services far beyond that offered by competing survey firms.

Our dedicated, professional civils team includes chartered engineers, minor civils specialists and time-served engineering surveyors, all of whom have extensive experience working on a wide range of civil engineering projects. This skilled labour and supervisory workforce is backed up by a management team with years of experience working on civil engineering projects across a variety of disciplines, from rail and highways to marine, telecoms and tunnelling. From specialist engineering surveys, minor civils and ground investigation to utilities mapping, structural investigation and site engineering, CS Civils is dedicated to providing safe, sustainable services, delivering projects on time and on budget.

Made up of time-served professionals, our dedicated structures team has the expertise and experience to interrogate your structures, to extract and analyse the relevant data before presenting that information in logical, easy to understand reports. The City Surveys Group delivers the full range of structural services to the construction, civils and rail sectors. From construction materials testing and concrete scanning to remote structural monitoring, we deliver the data you need quickly, efficiently and in a format that you understand.

From architects and builders to primary rail contractors and utility suppliers. Our precision topographical land surveys deliver real, measurable value to our clients' projects. Helping them manage, develop and understand their sites and the information they generate. We understand that every project, site and client is different. Also our clients expectations of what a topographic survey should can be different too. Therefore, before we take on a project, we ask each client a number of important questions.

City Surveys' asbestos investigation teams travel throughout the UK delivering thorough, in-depth asbestos surveys on all manner of structures. From local authority buildings such as schools, care homes and higher education colleges to single dwellings, office blocks and industrial units; all of these structures and more can be affected by asbestos with the effects upon those using these buildings being potentially devastating. Not only do we provide asbestos surveys themselves, we can also train your staff on the dangers of asbestos, how to spot it in its many forms, how to avoid it, what to do when it's discovered and, crucially, how to protect yourself from very costly compensation claims in the future.

Both tree surveys and arboricultural reports are frequently required to satisfy the relevant authorities that your project is sensitive to trees on or adjacent to your site. With authorities, businesses and individuals becoming ever more eco-conscious, every tree is valued and must be protected wherever possible. The City Surveys Group performs tree surveys and arboricultural reports right across the UK to clients ranging from single home owners to large house builders and major civil and railway engineering contractors.

Working throughout the country at short notice, our land surveyors deliver hundreds of low-cost, high-accuracy topographic surveys to a broad and loyal client base each and every year. Using the very latest technology, our dedicated measured building surveyors produce cost-effective 2D floor plans, elevations and sections right through to 3D-rendered building models. From building surveys and BIM models to 3D walk-throughs, our laser scanning specialists survey large areas quickly and safely, supplying your team with all the data they will ever need.
