Construction Phase Services

Siteline offers a full spectrum of construction-oriented services once the pre-development phase is complete and work is due to commence on site.

In general terms, our construction services support parties from the beginning to the end of a project, drawing in topographical survey and setting out services that translate construction plans into physical features on the site.

Site Engineering (Setting Out)

Siteline works closely with developers, civil engineers, groundworkers, sports pitch consultants and piling contractors to ensure the intended scheme is accurately established on the site and in full accordance with the design drawings.

Working from the CAD design, we’re able to digitally transfer setting out information onto the latest instrumentation, enabling on-site positions and levels to be established with the minimum of human intervention and greatly reducing the risk of mistakes. Siteline’s highly experienced engineers continue to make quality control checks at every step of the setting out process.

Our service can extend from a simple setting-out of control points for resident site engineers to work from to a complete setting-out service of all points across the development.

As-Built Surveys

When a client chooses to have setting out services provided by a subcontractor, Siteline is often called on to provide regular as-built surveys throughout the construction phase and ensure the designs are being correctly implemented on site. To ensure remedial costs are kept to a minimum, we’ll report any deviations to the client regularly and promptly.

As a construction project concludes, a final survey will provide a record of the scheme as completed. We’re frequently commissioned to provide adoption plans for highways, drainage and public open space to accompany the legal transfer of the assets to the Local Authority or Statutory Undertaker.

Highway Condition Surveys

Before a developer commences a new construction project he may wish to commission a highway condition survey of the public highways to ensure that any existing damage and defects cannot be attributed to the new works. A comprehensive report from Siteline including detailed photographs referenced to accurate survey plans and high quality video will avoid an expensive claim from the highway authority.
