Residential surveys that reduce site surprises and keep plots moving.
With Residential surveys, Profind Surveys helps you plan groundworks, drainage, utilities and levels properly, so you avoid delays, rework, and “we didn’t know that was there” moments.
- Clear, usable survey outputs for design + build teams
- Consultation before works, so you get the right survey mix (not random extras)
- One partner for utilities, topo, drainage, GPR, drone and CAD
This is for…
- Housebuilders and residential developers
- Groundworks and civil contractors
- Project Managers, Site Managers and Pre-Construction teams
- Design teams needing survey data that fits CAD/BIM workflows
- Housing associations and estates teams planning upgrades or refurb works
If you’re dealing with…
- Unknown or poorly recorded utilities before excavation starts
- Surveys that don’t answer the question your team actually needs answered
- Multiple suppliers (utilities, topo, drainage, CAD) with conflicting info
- Scope creep and surprise costs because the requirement wasn’t understood up front
Our Approach
We help you avoid the messy middle
Residential work moves fast. The easiest way to lose time is to start with incomplete info, then chase fixes mid-programme.
Profind Surveys starts with a consultation prior to any works to understand your requirements and recommend the best solution.
How we work
01
Scope the job properly – what you’re building, where the risk is, what outputs you need
02
Select the right survey mix – utilities + levels + drainage, as needed
03
Deliver clear outputs that designers and site teams can rely on
04
Support throughout so you’re not babysitting surveyors or chasing clarifications

useful for larger sites and access constraints
Area measurement surveys
when you need dependable measurements
GS6 assessments
where overhead line risk is in play
AutoCAD 2D drawings

What this helps you do
- Reduce delays caused by unknown services and conflicting records
- Keep design and build aligned with usable CAD-ready outputs
- Make faster, safer decisions before groundworks start

Proof Points
Honest positioning - no overpromises
- A well-designed survey should detect up to 95% of utilities (conditions apply).
- 100% detection may not be practicable, so we explain limitations clearly and advise next steps early.
- We support Tier 1 and Tier 2 contractors with a joined-up service across design and build.

FAQs
Do you work with housebuilders and groundworks contractors?
Yes. We support residential developers, contractors and project teams with surveys across design and build.
Can you deliver multiple surveys as one package?
Yes. Many residential sites need utilities + topo + drainage + CAD outputs. We can scope and deliver as one joined-up programme.
Can you guarantee you’ll find every utility?
No. Ground conditions and service types affect detection. We’re clear about confidence, limitations, and next steps.
Do your outputs work for CAD/BIM teams?
Yes. We produce AutoCAD 2D drawings and support integration with modern design workflows.
Where do you cover?
We’re based in Tamworth and focus on the Midlands.
