What is Grading & Site Plan Support?
The Survey Data Your Engineer & Municipality Needs
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.
