Survey control underpins accuracy on UK civils and highways projects. We explain what control is, why it matters, who owns it, and simple ways to avoid costly errors during setting out, as-built measurement, and handover.

Site Engineers, Setting Out Engineers and Surveyors are often treated as interchangeable, but on UK civils projects the differences matter for competence, documentation and delivery. This guide explains the roles clearly and why it matters for contractors, PMs, QSs and international engineers.

GPR surveys can’t see everything — they detect disturbances and metallic objects beneath the surface. Learn why a layered approach gives safer, more accurate results on UK construction sites.

 As-built surveys for highways aren’t just admin — they’re your QA, your proof of compliance, and your long-term asset record. Here's what they include and why they matter.

Think control points are just nails in the ground? Think again. Discover why control networks are the foundation of accurate setting out, risk reduction, and build success.

Before you break ground, are you sure what lies beneath? From PAS 128 standards to survey turnaround times, here’s what every PM should ask before hiring a utility surveyor.

Think the Building Safety Act only applies to high-rise flats? Think again. Here's what site engineers, surveyors, and contractors need to know—and how to stay compliant on infrastructure and highways projects.

From access issues to last-minute CAD updates, here are five real-world challenges site engineers face during setting out — and how to avoid them on your next project.

Mistakes in site engineering can delay projects and increase costs. This guide breaks down the top 5 issues we see on site—and how to avoid them with clear, practical steps. A must-read for project managers, engineers, and construction students.
