Survey in action

Surveys

When archaeological or built features survive above ground, as they often do in urban and upland areas and designed landscapes, detailed survey is sometimes required as a condition of planning consent.

GUARD’s skilled survey team works with the latest methods of digital data capture to record historic landscapes at the most appropriate scale.  Our in-house specialists in AutoCAD and Geographical Information Systems process survey results into high-quality graphics to support reports in fulfilment of planning conditions or for use in publicity and interpretation material.
