In building and construction, as in all industries, information is crucial.

The country's land and cityscape changes constantly, just ask Ordnance Survey.

The national mapping agency makes around 5 000 updates to its definitive geographic database of Great Britain every single day! In fast-developing areas, yesterday's map can be out of date overnight.

To counter this, Ordnance Survey has an army of hundreds of surveyors based all over Great Britain.

Each is responsible for ensuring that the mapping of their individual territory is as up to date as is possible.

Strong links with planning departments at local authorities contribute to an intelligence network that ensures Ordnance Survey is kept fully informed of all significant planned developments.

Indeed, Ordnance Survey surveyors can often work with developers as the project is in progress.

The Channel Tunnel rail link, for example, is being surveyed all the way from start to finish.

The absolute integrity and currency of this information is crucial for architects, developers, surveyors and engineers alike.

Clients often want ideas quickly, so the ability to scale accurately and with confidence throughout a project can be of great value.
