Site Surveys

Surveys give project managers and owners crucial information during a project’s design, planning, and pre-construction phases. The surveys carried out here assist in turning a project’s ideas into reality and range from topographic surveys, plats, and maps, to site and boundary assessments.

Land surveyors aid in the planning and design by providing all the data required to comprehend the terrain and, most significantly, by assisting the team in determining whether the site is suitable for the intended uses. Topographic measures, utility summaries, and the state of the sidewalks, roadways, or other features, among additional information, are among the data gathered throughout the survey process.

Process of Site Surveys

● Start with a floor plan:
The first step in the procedure is to obtain a floor plan of the location you will be surveying. The most precise portrayal of actual dimensions will be found in building floorplans, which may also disclose features or obstructions that your team wouldn’t have discovered during a site visit.

If a floor plan is unavailable, you might use a Google Maps satellite image instead. [System Surveyor] will automatically set the scale and enable you to access Google Maps right from the app. Another popular choice is to photograph a fire escape plan.

● Learn the benefits of every space:
Make sure to find out what each space is utilized for while performing a site survey to plan and install a security system. Although blueprints and site visits are essential tools, they frequently fail to address usage-related queries.

In terms of use cases, some locations (restrooms, offices, and resident halls) look simple enough. But in this situation, making more inquiries rather than assumptions is better. You can only create a complete and adequate security system (whether using campus security software or another technique) after you understand what each space in a building or campus is utilized for.

Use of Site Surveys

One of the essential steps in the planning process is to do a site survey for an anticipated security system installation or upgrade. An effective site survey will give you the information you need to plan and carry out a project successfully. However, a subpar site survey can cause significant frustration for you and your clients.
