About topographical survey

A topographical survey measures the exact shape, levels and features of your site, and is usually the first thing an architect or designer needs before drawing up plans, especially on sloping ground or where levels matter to the design.

Getting signed off in England

In England, your council’s building control team or a registered building control approver checks the work. They issue a completion or final certificate once they have the reports they need, such as the as-built SAP, EPC, air test and any sound or ventilation test results.
