Precise grading surveys and site plan support conducted by licensed OLS professionals on our team. Accepted by all GTA municipalities for building permits, site plan approvals, and drainage design.
What is Grading & Site Plan Support?
Grading and site plan support surveys provide the precise elevation data, existing grade documentation, and lot information that engineers, architects, and municipalities require to approve construction projects across the GTA. Without accurate grading survey data, your site plan cannot be properly designed or submitted for approval.
Whether you are submitting a site plan application, designing a grading and drainage plan, or satisfying a municipality requirement in Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, or anywhere across the GTA — our licensed OLS professionals deliver the precise survey data your project needs to move forward.
