How to Contact Monument Geomatics About a Survey

Updated

Monument Geomatics handles survey enquiries individually, so the way to start is to contact the company directly through its website and describe your project. The site offers a Request a Call Back option and a Contact Us page, and there is no published pricing — quotes are worked out per project, whether it is a small garden survey or a large topographical survey.

What to have ready before you get in touch

The company says it provides a bespoke service and tailors solutions "to budget and to schedule," so a useful first message covers:

  • The type of survey you think you need — for example topographical, measured building (floorplans, elevations), laser scanning, underground utility, or engineering survey.
  • The site location — this matters because coverage is regional; see the next section.
  • The scale and purpose — a small garden survey, a single building, or a large-scale topographical mapping job for land development, highways design, or asset management.
  • Your timing — when you need the data and any deadline the project is working to.

You do not need to have the technical specification finalised; the team describes its approach as listening to client needs and then recommending the right combination of techniques and instrumentation.

Check you are in the covered area first

Monument Geomatics is based in Gloucestershire, on the edge of the Forest of Dean, with good access to the M5, M4 and M50. The site states it serves:

  • Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire
  • Wales
  • The South West
  • Local and national markets more broadly

If your site is outside the South West and Midlands, it is still worth asking, since the company says it serves national markets — but confirm travel and mobilisation in your enquiry rather than assuming.

Steps to make contact

  1. Go to the website at monumentgeomatics.co.uk.
  2. Use "Request a Call Back" if you would rather talk it through than write a detailed brief. The option appears prominently on the homepage.
  3. Or open the Contact Us page to send your project details in writing. Include the points listed above so the reply can be specific.
  4. Expect a project-specific response. Because no prices are published, the reply should cover scope, approach and cost for your particular job.
  5. Follow up if needed — the site also has a News and Projects section; recent examples such as a topographical survey for a new pump track at the Forest of Dean Cycle Centre, Monmouth Golf Club, Royal Crescent in Bath, and a highway junction design in Brighton can help you describe the kind of work you want.

What happens after you enquire

The company positions itself around accurate data as "an essential part of a successful project," and draws on expertise in remote sensing, terrestrial laser scanning, geodesy and GPS, 3D visualisation, high-precision deformation monitoring, small inland hydrography and large-scale topographical mapping. A first conversation is likely to establish which of these your project actually needs, so it helps to explain the decision the survey data will feed — planning application, design work, structural records, or asset management.

Other reasons to use the site

  • Careers — for anyone interested in working with the firm rather than commissioning a survey.
  • Testimonials and Projects — useful background before you enquire, and a way to judge whether the firm has handled work similar to yours.
  • About Us — notes a staff base with over 50 years of combined industry experience.

Common sticking points

  • No online booking or instant quote. Enquiries are handled person to person, so allow time for a reply and a follow-up call.
  • Vague briefs slow things down. "I need a survey" is much harder to quote than "measured building survey of a two-storey office, floorplans and elevations, needed for a refurbishment tender in March."
  • Don't assume coverage. The published area is the South West, Wales and the Midlands counties listed above; national work is mentioned but should be confirmed for your site.
