Geospatial Surveys

Good decisions start with good data. Our geospatial surveys give engineers, architects, and builders the accurate insight they need. Every survey we carry out follows RICS and CICES standards, state-of-the-art equipment and precise site measurements so you know the quality and precision are always there.

Topographical Surveys

These Surveys capture the physical features and levels of a site, like buildings,boundaries, and natural elements.

Accurate site levels and detailed feature mapping is really helpful for architects and engineers so they can clearly understand existing site conditions before design work begins.

Measured Building Surveys

We create accurate floor plans, elevations, and sections of your existing building.This information supports the design of refurbishments,extensions, or new construction.

3D Laser Scan Surveys

You need to know the site inside out, so we capture the environment exactly as it is.
Advanced laser scanning technology will deliver precise point cloud data; from which we
can derive a full suite of 3d models and details.

Why These Surveys Matter

Topographical Surveys

They help architects and engineers understand the site layout and levels before design begins.

Measured Building Surveys

They offer accurate building data, whether for renovation, redevelopment, or just for documentation.

3D Laser Scan Surveys

This service captures the complex structures fast and with a very high accuracy.

“I had the pleasure to work with Murray on a major development in Edinburgh City Centre, he came in at a very difficult period for us and really went above an beyond his role, his quality, attention to detail and problem solving were very much welcomed on this project. I couldn’t recommend Murray highly enough, if i could give more than 5 stars i would and i hope to work with Murray in the future again.”

“Murray did an outstanding job of surveying a house I was looking to purchase. His price was very reasonable but the level of detail was exceptional, the survey document was clear and Murray was great to deal with throughout. I would without a doubt use MJ Hernon again”

“I have worked with Murray on two major projects in London. London Bridge Station redevelopment and HS2 enabling works in Euston. He was a highly valued member of the team with a broad range engineering and survey related skill sets. He has an excellent understanding of client requirements and is extremely good at turning his hand to new situations and challenges. Very good at problem solving and providing solutions. One of the first on the team sheet for me.”

“Worked with MJH for a number of years and always provided a superb service.”

“Highly reliable and supports the project team throughout the full project lifecycle. Proactive, practical, and consistently brings innovative ideas that add real value on site and in delivery. A pleasure to work with and highly recommend. Looking forward to working on many more technically challenging schemes together!”

“M J Hernon Engineering Surveys undertook three drone surveys for the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) over a period of five months running from November 2025 – March 2026. The drone surveys produced orthomosaic and DSM information compiled and produced into a report provided to SEPA. This data was used by SEPA to compare the landscape over time for evidence of disturbances or change. MJ Hernon Engineering Surveys provided additional support in 3D modelling and expertise to enhance SEPAs interpretation of the drone survey data.”
