Setting Out Engineering Services to Construction Projects
Red Laser Scanning provides setting out survey services and site engineering surveys for all construction projects. Our setting out survey service will mark the accurate positions and levels of buildings lines and road alignments through construction plans, also known as built 2D drawings.
Setting out services will guarantee the reduction of errors before it is too late during construction works. With as-built drawings in place, the next step is to provide site engineering services to determine the setting out of:
- Building locations and foundations
- Pile positions, pile caps and contiguous walls
- Drainage systems, steel positions and bolt holes
- Roads and highways
- Glazing positions, shoes, mullion and transom lines
- Concrete shutter lines, slab extents

Team of setting out specialists in London
Our setting out engineers hold health and safety training to deliver reliable setting out service on construction sites. We use a range of setting out tools and equipment when marking accurate measurements and locations:
- GPS technology
- Total Stations
- Levelling instruments
Our setting out engineers will coordinate points to be set out, using 2D drawings as verification and reference. No matter the complexity and scale of the site, we pinpoint the structural features above and below ground.
