What is Setting Out?
Accurate Setting Out
From Drawings to Site
Setting out is the critical process of transferring design information from construction drawings onto the physical site. It ensures that every element is built in the correct position and to the correct level — forming the essential reference framework for the entire build.
​
Our engineers establish precise positions and levels for foundations, walls, drainage runs, service routes, kerbs, manholes, holding down bolts, and all structural elements. Without accurate setting out, even the best-designed project can suffer from costly errors and rework.
Position Accuracy
Every element placed exactly to design coordinates
Level Control
Precise levels for drainage, foundations and slabs
Drawing Transfer
From CAD drawings directly to site markers
Quality Control
Verified positions reduce risk of errors
