Successful design starts with understanding the real-world conditions.

Through accurate surveying, Mätkonsult provides reliable data for architects, structural engineers and designers. We document existing conditions and deliver survey data in the format and level of accuracy required by the project.

Mätkonsult can support the entire process – from the first ideas and feasibility studies to completed design data and onwards into construction.

Reality as the foundation for design

Drawings, models and calculations are only as reliable as the information they are based on.

For new construction, designers need accurate information about ground levels, existing buildings, roads, utilities and other objects that may affect the project. In renovation projects, it is instead essential to document what the existing building actually looks like.

Mätkonsult can assist with, among other things:

ground and terrain surveying
surveying of existing buildings and structures
façade and building surveying
elevations and levels
road and civil engineering surveying
utilities and other existing objects
terrain models
sections and profiles
coordinate- and elevation-referenced data
3D laser scanning and point clouds
data for CAD and BIM design

The surveying method and scope are adapted according to how the information will be used. In some projects, traditional surveying is the most efficient solution, while others are better suited to 3D scanning or a combination of several methods.

Why is reliable design data important?

Design based on reality
Current and accurate survey data reduces the risk of designs being based on outdated drawings, assumed elevations or other information that no longer reflects actual conditions.

Identify conditions early
Differences in elevation, existing structures and other constraints are far better identified during the design phase than after construction has already begun.

Reduce the risk of costly changes
Incorrect or incomplete data can remain unnoticed well into the design process. When the drawings finally meet reality on the construction site, the consequences can be changes, delays and rework.

The right level of detail for the task
Not everything needs to be measured using the same method or level of accuracy. By understanding how the information will be used, Mätkonsult can help determine the appropriate scope from the start.

Digital data ready for further use
Survey data can be delivered and structured to suit the project's continued work in CAD, 3D and BIM environments.

Good design surveying starts with understanding what is going to be designed.

That is why Mätkonsult works closely with architects, structural engineers and other designers. By discussing what is to be built and what information is required, we can adapt both the surveying and the deliverables to the actual needs of the project.

This also means that during our work we can identify conditions that the design team needs to be aware of or supplement the survey data when new questions arise.

The same surveying expertise throughout the entire project

Mätkonsult's involvement does not have to end when the design data has been delivered.

When the project moves into construction, the same surveying expertise can be used for setting out, verification surveying, machine control, quantity calculations and as-built surveying.

This creates continuity between existing conditions, design and completed construction.

Where Mätkonsult makes the difference

We don't just measure what is there – we determine what the project needs to know.

Mätkonsult combines extensive experience in construction and civil engineering surveying with modern surveying technology, 3D scanning and digital workflows.

By working closely with the project's architects, structural engineers and designers, we can create survey data that is not only accurate, but also tailored to how the information will actually be used.

From reality to drawing – and back again.
