What is Monument Geomatics and what does it do?

Updated

Monument Geomatics is a land and building surveying company based in Gloucestershire, in the South West of England. It provides surveying services to both private and public sector clients, serving local and national markets. Its listed services are topographical surveys, measured building surveys, laser scanning, underground utility surveys and engineering surveys, delivered by a team with over 50 years of combined industry experience.

Where it works and who it serves

The company is located at the edge of the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, positioned for access to the M5, M4 and M50. According to its website, that base lets it serve the Midlands counties of Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire, as well as Wales and the South West, while also taking on national work.

It states that it works for both private and public sector clients and scales its service to the project, from a small garden survey to a measured building survey or a topographical survey at large or small scale.

Services offered

Service What it typically covers (based on the site's descriptions)
Topographical surveys Large- and small-scale mapping of land and features
Measured building surveys Building floorplans and elevations
Laser scanning Terrestrial laser scanning, including 3D visualisation
Underground utility surveys Locating and mapping buried services
Engineering surveys Survey input for design and engineering work

The site also lists expertise in remote sensing, geodesy and GPS, high-precision deformation monitoring, small inland hydrography and large-scale topographical mapping.

What kinds of projects it takes on

The company says its surveys support land development projects, highways design, recreating structural plans and asset management. Recent projects named on the site include:

  • A topographical survey for a new pump track at the Forest of Dean Cycle Centre
  • Monmouth Golf Club
  • Royal Crescent in Bath
  • Highway junction design in Brighton

These examples suggest a mix of small community/recreational schemes, heritage or landmark sites, and transport infrastructure work.

How to judge whether it fits your needs

Monument Geomatics is likely a reasonable starting point if you need one or more of the following:

  • A surveyor covering Gloucestershire, the wider South West, Wales or the Midlands, with national capability
  • A measured building survey producing floorplans or elevations
  • Topographical mapping for a development, highway or asset-management project
  • Laser scanning or 3D visualisation as part of the deliverable
  • A provider that explicitly works with both private and public sector clients

The site emphasises tailoring the service to budget and schedule and listening to client requirements, so it is worth describing the project scope and constraints when you make contact. The website offers a callback request form and contact details, but it does not publish pricing, so costs need to be confirmed directly with the company.

Practical next step

To decide whether it suits your project, prepare a short brief covering the site location, the type of survey needed (topographical, measured building, utility, laser scanning or engineering), the deliverable format you require, and your budget and timeline. Then use the contact or callback option on monumentgeomatics.co.uk to confirm availability, scope and price for your specific job.
