Local land surveyors for Essex
We have been surveying in Essex since 2013. Our team knows the county well, from tight town-centre plots to farmland, marshes and the tidal coastline, and we are rarely more than an hour from site.
Every survey is tied to the Ordnance Survey grid (OSGB36 for position, OSTN15 for height) and delivered as a layered DWG with matching PDF. Control stations are left on site for future setting out, which many of our Essex clients also use us for.
What you receive
- Scaled DWG drawing, layered and colour-coded, with a matching PDF
- Spot levels and contours across the site
- Buildings, boundaries, trees, kerbs and drainage covers
- Full site photographs for design reference
- Drawings 5 to 10 working days after the site visit
For coastal and flood zone sites we also carry out flood risk level surveys, and for large or overgrown land, drone LiDAR surveys.

I was impressed by THS Concepts topographical survey services' professionalism and accuracy. They were efficient and reasonably priced. I highly recommend them.
★★★★★
We recently approached THS Concepts to carry out a level survey of the screed to the ground floor of a large residential property we were Project Managing. The property was undergoing extensions and refurbishment work. We had a tight timescale to receive the information, and THS Concepts delivered quickly and efficiently to meet our deadline. This is the second time we have used them and would highly recommend.

We have used THS Concepts for multiple surveys from topographic to drone photogrametry, they are professional and prompt and deliver exactly what is requested. Highly recommended.
