FAQs

  • A construction set-out survey involves marking the exact location of proposed structures on-site, based on the approved building plans. It ensures that construction begins in the correct position and complies with design specifications. This is critical for avoiding costly errors and delays during the build.

  • Set-out surveys are required for a wide range of projects, including residential homes, commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and infrastructure developments. Any project that involves new construction or structural changes benefits from accurate set-out.

  • A BOMA (Building Owners and Managers Association) survey is a standardised method for calculating the floor area of commercial buildings. It ensures consistency in how space is measured, reported, and leased.

  • You will typically need a BOMA survey when leasing, buying, or managing commercial property. It is essential for accurate lease agreements, property valuations, and space management. These surveys help avoid disputes by providing a clear and consistent measurement of usable and rentable areas.
