At Intersect Surveys, we provide specialist setting out and site control services to ensure your construction or infrastructure project is built with pinpoint accuracy. From establishing primary survey control to verifying existing reference points and setting up critical markers such as gridlines, datums, and finished floor levels (FFLs), we help keep your project on track from the ground up.

Setting out is the process of transferring a project’s design plans into real-world coordinates on-site. This ensures that buildings, roads, utilities, and other structures are constructed in the exact locations specified in the design.

Using high-precision instruments such as GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems), total stations, and precise levelling equipment, our skilled team places markers—such as stakes, nails, or bolts—on the ground based on your project's requirements and site conditions.
