Site Engineering

Setting out is a crucial phase, ensuring that construction projects align accurately with design specifications. This process involves transferring the building plans onto the ground, establishing reference points, and laying out structures. We use precise measuring tools and techniques to achieve correct positioning, which is essential for the overall success of the project. Effective setting out minimises errors, contributing to a smoother construction process.

Measured Building Surveys

Precise internal and external measurements of buildings for renovation, extension, or heritage projects. We create detailed floor plans, elevations, and sections that enable architects to design with confidence.

3D Laser Scanning

Advanced Trimble X9 laser scanning technology captures millions of data points to create accurate 3D point clouds. Perfect for complex sites, BIM integration, and heritage documentation with millimetre-level accuracy.

Land registry compliant boundary plan for property in Cornwall

Land Registry Compliant Plans

Land Registry compliant plans in Cornwall and Devon are essential for accurately representing property boundaries and ensuring they are legally recognised by HM Land Registry. These title and lease plans help streamline the conveyancing process by providing clear, scaled drawings that meet Land Registry Practice Guide 40 requirements. We prepare compliant plans for properties across Truro, Falmouth, Newquay, St Austell, Penzance and the wider Cornwall and Devon area, helping you avoid boundary disputes and support a smooth sale, purchase or transfer.

Drone survey photogrammetry for aerial mapping and 3D site models in Cornwall

Drone Surveys

Our photogrammetry outputs give you accurate, visual information you can trust for design, planning and construction. Dense point clouds, 3D surface models and high‑resolution orthophotos let you measure distances, levels and areas directly, reducing the need for repeated site visits and speeding up decision‑making. These deliverables integrate smoothly into CAD and GIS software, making it easy for your designers, engineers and project teams to overlay proposals, check clearances and monitor progress with clear, up‑to‑date site data.

Local Knowledge

Based in Truro, Cornwall, we understand the South West's unique terrain, planning requirements, and Land Registry rules — giving you surveys that work first time.

James Smith

TruGrid carried out a detailed topographical survey for our barn conversion near Truro. The levels, boundary positions and existing features were all picked up accurately, and the CAD drawings dropped straight into our architect’s plans with no issues. Aaron kept us updated throughout and delivered the final drawings earlier than agreed, which helped us move straight on to planning.

Karen Lucas

We’ve instructed TruGrid on several commercial sites across Cornwall and Devon for both topo and 3D laser scanning. The point clouds and RCP files slotted perfectly into our BIM models, saving our design team a lot of time on site checks. Turnaround has always been quick, the pricing transparent, and any small tweaks we’ve requested have been dealt with the same day.

Chris Murray

As a project manager overseeing tight programmes, I need survey data I can trust. TruGrid’s measured building surveys have been consistently accurate, with clear floor plans, elevations and sections that our design team can work from without repeat site visits. Communication is spot‑on, health and safety paperwork is in place, and surveys are delivered when promised, which makes scheduling the rest of the project much easier.
