Construction Progress Surveys

Measurable survey records across construction phases.

Service overview

Progress measurement

Repeat surveys record how a site changes between defined construction stages and provide spatial evidence for progress, quantities and completed levels.

For earthworks and groundworks, typical records include existing ground, reduced levels, formation, capping or sub-base stages, current surfaces, stockpiles and other agreed layers before subsequent work proceeds.

Phase recordsSurvey defined stages before subsequent layers or works obscure the condition.
Date-to-date comparisonCompare controlled survey datasets to show measurable change.
Progress quantitiesUse repeat surfaces and stockpile records to support earthworks reconciliation.

Workflow

Typical project workflow

The exact sequence is adjusted to the project brief, programme and required deliverables.

01

Define stages

Agree which construction phases or layers need a survey record.

02

Establish baseline

Reference the first dataset to the project control and design framework.

03

Repeat survey

Capture subsequent conditions using a consistent spatial basis.

04

Process

Prepare drawings, surfaces, mapping and quantity comparisons as required.

05

Issue phase record

Deliver each agreed survey stage promptly for project use.

06

Reconcile

Compare stages, quantities or design information where included in scope.

Questions

Construction Progress Surveys FAQ

What can a construction progress survey record?

Progress surveys can record current levels, terrain, formation or capping stages, stockpiles, construction extents, aerial mapping and other agreed features or surfaces relevant to the project phase.

Can progress surveys be used for earthworks quantities?

Yes. When comparable surfaces and boundaries are available, repeat surveys can support date-to-date earthworks quantities and material reconciliation.

How often should progress surveys be carried out?

The interval should follow the project programme and the information that needs to be recorded. Some stages are best surveyed before work is covered; others may be measured weekly, monthly or at agreed milestones.
