OS Background
N D Oliver & Co Ltd, Chartered Land Surveyors, are experts in the collection, organisation, presentation and delivery of spatial data. The quality of our survey data presentation is a key factor in explaining why over 80% of our work is repeat business. Our clients get what they need and they keep coming back for more.
Increasingly, clients are requesting that their survey is tied into OS background mapping.
You may need this for:
» National Grid coordinates

» planning applications
» lease and title plans
» visual impact surveys
» as-built records
» utility surveys and records
» topographic site surveys
» visualisation surveys, photo verification
» right to light surveys

Tying in a survey to OS background mapping is not necessarily the same as providing National Grid coordinates for your survey. The deliverables have subtle differences that can and do cause problems for the ill informed. We always prefer to discuss with clients, which deliverable suits best their intended use of the survey. You may in fact need both, no problem.
