Service Spotlight: Smaller Projects in Land & Measured Building Surveys

Our smaller projects service gives homeowners, self-builders, and local businesses a straightforward, personal route into high-quality surveying. Whether you’re planning an extension, designing a new home, or developing a small commercial site, we can provide clear, accurate information for the next stage of your project.

Professional Surveys, Delivered Personally

Throughout your survey you’ll work directly with our Survey Manager, Rich and other experienced members of our surveying team from your first conversation through to final delivery. At Kemp we take the time to understand your goals and tailor each survey to your project meaning you get exactly the right level of detail, without the confusion or overwhelm.

Even though the service focuses on small and personal projects, every survey is carried out using the same high-precision equipment and rigorous standards you’d expect across all of Kemp’s work. And if your project grows or needs additional expertise, such as utilities, setting out, or drone mapping, we can seamlessly bring in specialists from our wider team.

A Recent Project: Fourwinds New Garage, Allet

We recently completed a full topographic and UAV survey for a new garage development for Fourwinds in Allet.

The combination of traditional total station and GPS data with high-resolution drone imagery meant we could deliver a comprehensive, highly accurate model of the site. This gave the client and their designer everything they needed, precise ground levels, existing features, and a detailed aerial view, to progress confidently with planning and design.

It’s a great example of how this service blends cutting-edge technology with an accessible, personal service.
