Tasks
When geodesy is needed
No current geospatial base
Existing plans are outdated, incomplete or unsuitable for design work.
Relief and utilities must be captured
Levels, boundaries, site elements and engineering networks must be recorded.
Construction control is required
Before installation, concreting or handover, the actual position must be verified.
A single coordinate system is needed
Data must align with BIM, point clouds, drawings and contractors.
Survey data and scans must align
Complex objects need geodetic control for laser scanning and photogrammetry.

Risks
Construction risks geodesy reduces
A geodetic basis helps verify site reality before an error turns into rework, a contractor dispute or a schedule break.
Stakeout errors
Axes, levels and control points are fixed in a clear coordinate system for contractors and technical supervision.
Rework after installation
Position control lowers the risk of discovering deviations after concreting, installation or finishing.
Disputes between teams
As-built surveys and schedules create a verifiable basis for discussing facts, not opinions.
Schedule breaks
Timely checks of levels, boundaries and actual position help keep the next construction stage moving.
Work types
Task → work → deliverable → timeline
The scope is selected for the object: from point stakeout to a topographic survey and laser scanning alignment.

Cost and timing
Budget anchors before detailed estimation
For the first budget orientation we use common Russia market ranges. After the address, boundaries, access and required output are known, we clarify the scope and estimate.
Scope calculation
within 1 business day
Address, boundaries, task and required delivery formats are enough to start.
Urgent visit
same day
Possible when site access is ready and a field team window is available.
Topographic survey of a site
from 35-90k RUB
Depends on area, site density, relief and topographic plan requirements.
As-built or stakeout survey of a stage
from 20-60k RUB
For axes, levels, structures and site engineering documentation.
UAV / large territory
from 60-150k RUB
For territories, roofs, facades, orthophotos and surface models.
Final price
individual
Area, access, site density, coordinate system, formats and urgency affect the estimate.
These anchors are not a public offer. Exact scope, price, timing and responsibility are fixed in the contract.
Delivery examples
What a useful result looks like
The client does not buy the visit itself; the value is a clear basis for construction, design, site engineering and disputed situations.
Project team package
DWG plan, coordinate schedule, PDF report and CAD/BIM-ready materials are handed off in one structured archive.
Construction site control
Field measurements help verify axes, levels and actual position before the next work stage.
Territories and hard-to-reach zones
For larger sites and roofs, geodesy can be combined with UAV capture, orthophotos and a surface model.

Source data we need
The address, site boundary and desired result are enough to start. Existing plans, design files or coordinate systems help us prepare faster.
- Address or cadastral description of the object
- Area, site boundary or work zone
- Task: topography, stakeout, as-built survey or control
- Required coordinate and elevation system, if defined
- Existing plans, project files, masterplan, BIM or point clouds
- Site access and work mode restrictions
- Desired delivery date
Comparison
Geodesy, scanning, measured surveys and UAV are not the same thing
For a mixed task, selecting the right method combination upfront is cheaper, faster and lowers the risk of repeat visits.
Select the work scope| Method | Best fit | What it provides | When one method is not enough |
|---|---|---|---|
| Geodesy | Coordinates, levels, stakeout, as-built surveys and topographic plans. | A verifiable basis for construction, site engineers, designers and contractors. | Does not replace a dense point cloud inside a complex building or facade. |
| Laser scanning | Complex geometry, facades, interiors, equipment and reconstruction. | Dense point cloud, 3D basis, drawings and BIM from actual conditions. | Without geodesy it may not solve the shared coordinate system for the site. |
| Measured surveys | Rooms, simple plans, renovation, design and local measurements. | Plans, dimensions, elevations and DWG/PDF documentation set. | Not suitable for stakeout, levels, coordinate basis or large territories. |
| UAV / photogrammetry | Orthophotos, territories, roofs, facades and visual capture. | Orthophoto, 3D/mesh, surface model and visual materials. | Needs geodetic alignment and control points for reliable metric output. |
FAQ
Geodesy questions
What geodetic work do you do?
Topographic surveys, coordinate alignment, stakeout, as-built surveys, level control and design-ready data preparation.What accuracy is possible?
Accuracy depends on the task, equipment, conditions and coordinate system. For control tasks we can work with millimeter tolerances; for topographic plans we select accuracy for the project.Can we get a topographic plan in DWG?
Yes. We usually deliver DWG and PDF, and can add DXF, coordinate schedules, photo reports and source data archives.Do you perform as-built surveys on construction sites?
Yes, we capture actual structure positions, levels, axes and deviations, then prepare materials for contractors, supervision and designers.Can geodesy be combined with laser scanning?
Yes. A geodetic basis helps align point clouds, BIM models, photogrammetry and drawings in a shared coordinate system.What formats do you deliver?
DWG, DXF, PDF, CSV, TXT, plus data for Revit, Archicad, IFC and SketchUp when geodesy is part of a complex 3D task.How long does it take?
A typical field visit starts from one business day. Processing time depends on area, site density, format requirements and approvals.What do you need for a quote?
Address, approximate work boundaries, task, required formats and timeline. If you have existing plans, project files or a coordinate system, send them with the request.

Send the address, work boundaries and task. We will suggest the scope, timeline and delivery format.
Request a quote
No full technical brief is required: send the address, work boundaries and desired result. If you have an old plan, project file, photos or coordinate system, attach them, but you can submit the request without files.
