Managing, maintaining, refurbishing or developing an education estate depends on accurate information.
At Kemp Engineering & Surveying, we provide land, building, engineering and utility surveying services for schools, colleges, universities and other education facilities.
From existing building surveys and topographical surveys through to utility mapping, setting out, as-built verification and digital survey data, we give you the information needed to plan and deliver projects with confidence.
Education estates change constantly. Buildings are extended, refurbished and repurposed, new facilities go up, and existing infrastructure needs maintaining.
Accurate information about your buildings, land and underground services gives you a solid basis for decisions and design work.
We offer surveying services that can support an education project from initial investigation through to construction and ongoing estate management.
Accurate floor plans, elevations and sections for existing education buildings, including schools, colleges, universities and other facilities. Our surveyors capture existing building information for refurbishment, extension, redevelopment, maintenance and design projects.
Detailed topographical surveys of the land surrounding and within education sites, capturing levels, structures, boundaries, vegetation, hardstanding and other visible features, to support planning, design and development.
Identifying and mapping underground utilities and services before excavation, construction or development work begins. This matters most on established education campuses, where infrastructure has often developed piecemeal over many years and accurate records are essential for safe project planning.
Setting out and engineering survey support throughout construction, to help ensure works are positioned and built in line with the design.
Recording completed works and verifying construction against design requirements, for handover, compliance, future maintenance and asset management.
Capturing existing buildings and spaces using laser scanning and other modern surveying technology, with outputs suited to design, BIM, documentation and ongoing estate management. Where appropriate, we can provide CAD, Revit, point-cloud and other digital formats.
We start by understanding your project, your objectives and how the survey information will be used, and discuss the site, existing information, access, programme and any constraints so we can recommend the right survey approach.
Before attending site, we plan around the practical requirements of working in an education environment; access, working areas, site activity and any restrictions that could affect the survey. Our staff are DBS checked, helping education clients feel confident when we are working on school, college and university sites.
Our surveyors attend site with appropriate equipment, which may include total stations, GPS/GNSS equipment, laser scanning and other specialist technology depending on the requirements. We capture the information the project needs accurately and efficiently, while working safely around the day-to-day running of the site.
After the site survey, our team processes and checks the collected information to produce accurate, usable survey data, in formats including CAD, PDF, Revit and other digital outputs depending on your project.
We deliver the completed survey information in a format suited to your architects, engineers, contractors, estates team or other stakeholders. On larger or more complex projects, we can also provide supporting survey information and reporting.
Our involvement doesn’t have to end when the survey is delivered; we’re available to answer questions, clarify information and provide further survey support as your project progresses.
Kemp Engineering & Surveying works principally across Devon, Cornwall and the wider South West, including on education and other complex facilities. Local knowledge and responsive support matter when you’re working on a live estate.
Whether you need a survey of a single school building, an existing college campus or a larger university estate, we can tailor our approach to your project.
It starts with experience. Kemp has been delivering surveying and engineering services since 1988, working across construction, infrastructure, buildings and complex operational sites, including projects with Cornwall College Group, Exeter University and the Eden Project, alongside major contractors, consultants, local authorities and infrastructure organisations.
We pair that experience with modern surveying technology and in-house services, so we can support projects from initial survey through to construction and ongoing estate requirements. Our staff are DBS-checked, providing additional reassurance when working within live education environments.
Yes. Our staff are DBS checked, providing reassurance when working on school, college and university sites. We understand the importance of safeguarding and planning our work around the requirements of education environments.
We provide measured building surveys, topographical surveys, utility surveys, setting out, as-built surveys and other land and engineering survey services. The right survey depends on the building, site and project.
Yes. We’re used to working in complex operational environments, including education facilities, and plan our survey approach around site requirements to minimise disruption and maintain safe working practices.
Yes. Measured building surveys give you accurate information about existing buildings to support refurbishment, extension, maintenance and redevelopment.
Yes. Utility surveys and mapping help identify underground services before construction, excavation or other works; particularly valuable on established campuses where existing infrastructure can be complex.
Yes. We survey complex sites and facilities, including university environments, and have experience with utility surveying at university campuses and other education estate work.
Survey information can be supplied in a range of formats, including CAD, PDF, Revit and other digital outputs. We’ll agree the deliverables with you before the survey begins.
Cost depends on the size and complexity of the site, the type of survey required, the level of detail and how the information will be used. Contact us with your project requirements and we can discuss the right approach.
We primarily serve Devon, Cornwall and the wider South West, and can support projects further afield where required.
