About Us

Since 2014, We have been supporting engineers, architects, and construction professionals across Scotland and Northern England. We gather reliable geospatial data that forms a solid foundation for your project decisions, helping you plan, design, and build with confidence.

What We Do

From topographical and measured building surveys, through to 3D laser scanning, drone mapping, and engineering setting out, we offer a full range of geospatial and engineering survey services. Whether you need detailed site information while you are planning, or precise control during construction. We deliver our services with data that you can really rely on.

Standards

All our services are carried out to RICS and CICES standards, demonstrating our commitment to professional best practice. Technical expertise combined with a hands- on, director-led approach ensures we focus our services on exactly what your project needs.

Mission

“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.”
