From Design to Accurate Construction Set-Out

Discuss Your Project

RM Surveys provides construction and engineering set-out services for commercial buildings, civil infrastructure and complex construction projects across Perth and Western Australia.

Our surveyors translate design drawings and digital models into accurate positions, levels and alignments on site. From foundations and concrete slabs to structural steel and civil works, we establish the spatial information required for construction.

Beyond placing marks on site, our surveyors review drawings and calculations, coordinate with relevant trades and identify potential discrepancies before they affect construction.

With a consistent project surveyor familiar with the site and programme, we can respond efficiently to design changes, upcoming workfronts and evolving construction requirements.

Supporting Accurate Construction at Every Stage

Construction set-out depends on reliable survey control, current design information and a clear understanding of how different elements fit together.

Our surveyors work closely with builders, engineers and subcontractors to coordinate requirements, verify relevant dimensions and ensure the information used on site reflects the latest approved design.

We also provide verification as construction progresses, helping project teams identify differences between design intent and completed works before subsequent activities proceed.

This coordinated approach helps reduce avoidable rework and supports efficient construction delivery

Frequently Asked Questions

What is construction set-out?

Construction set-out transfers positions, dimensions and levels from approved design information onto a construction site, guiding the placement of structural and civil elements.

What types of construction can RM Surveys set out?

We support foundations, slabs, building grids, structural steel, civil infrastructure and other construction elements requiring accurate positioning and alignment.

Can you work directly from 3D design models?

Yes. Our surveyors can prepare and use suitable digital design models for field set-out, reducing manual calculations and supporting coordination between design and construction.

Can RM Surveys provide ongoing set-out support?

Yes. We can provide dedicated project surveyors who coordinate set-out requirements throughout construction, supported by additional survey resources when needed.
