Construction Surveying
Layout, control, grades and as-builts for buildings, civil works and infrastructure — accurate field positioning that keeps construction moving.
Construction surveying puts the design on the ground. PCI Surveys provides construction survey crews, robotic total stations and GNSS equipment to lay out buildings, foundations, gridlines, utilities, roads and earthworks so that every trade builds in the right place, at the right elevation, the first time.
We support projects across British Columbia, Alberta and the Yukon — from commercial buildings in Vancouver and Edmonton to civil infrastructure, industrial facilities, mine sites and remote northern projects. Our crews work directly from your issued-for-construction drawings and models, coordinate with site supervision, and deliver clear field marks and reporting your team can rely on.

When You Need It
- Before excavation, forming or concrete placement
- When gridlines, benchmarks or control need to be established on site
- When civil works, utilities or roadworks need layout to line and grade
- When progress quantities or as-built records are required
- When engineering teams need reliable field data from an active site
Who Uses It
- General contractors and construction managers
- Civil and earthworks contractors
- Concrete, forming and steel contractors
- Engineering firms and developers
- Municipalities, utilities and industrial owners
Deliverables
- Field layout marks, stakes and offsets with cut/fill information
