Target Site Engineering

Who we are

We have spent twenty two years working in surveying and construction, with broad experience of the building and civil engineering industries, forging great business relationships with major contractors and private clients across the UK.

We specialise in setting out to highways, steel and concrete structures, earthworks, landscaping, infrastructure and housing developments. In addition we also undertake topographical surveys, as-built surveys, 3D laser scanning, drone surveys, high-precision monitoring, and can always assist in land registry planning.

We pride ourselves in offering a dynamic and cost-effective service, utilising the very latest surveying techniques and computer technology. Should you need the services we provide for your next project, then please don’t hesitate to contact us so we can discuss your specific requirements.

Video of a Property Survey in Surrey

Earlier this year we embarked on a surveying project of a large property on the outskirts of London, in leafy Surrey. With the help of our friends at BB Surveys, we documented the buildings and grounds utilising 3D Laser scanning techniques, drone footage and GPRS measurements to build different layered computer models. The video below shows us working on site, and demonstrates some of those computer models we build from the data collected.

I first made contact with Tom and the team from Target Site Engineering & Surveys after a personal recommendation of their services two years ago. With the technical landscaping projects we undertake, precision and detail is critical from beginning to end. Target SES has been responsible for setting out and surveying many of our recent projects including Here East in Stratford, Level 10 and 16 Roof Gardens at Principle Place in Shoreditch, the Chelsea Royal Hospital Gardens, and the Silver Gilt Award-Winning Silk Road Garden at this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Tom’s work is always meticulous, and that allows us to lay the foundations of our projects with absolute confidence. Willerby Landscapes and Target SES are currently working on further projects in London, Cambridge and Surrey, and I would highly recommend their services to prospective new customers.

A timely and accurate service is what we require from professional surveyors and Target SES provides that. Of all the surveying companies we work with on a regular basis, however, we find Target SES to be most progressive in terms of embracing the latest technology and taking on interesting projects where ’thinking outside the box’ is a must. They are good people to know and work with.

I have had the privilege of working with Tom for over ten years. Tom has supported us on a range of diverse construction projects from reconstruction of sections of the A14, Highways England Award winning Machine Control Project, to upgrading the A13 to facilitate the operation of the new deep water port for D P World at Shellhaven.

Target Site Engineering and Surveying has also worked with me on mineral and waste planning submissions with topographical surveys and volumetric analysis. Their services and commitment are second to none with a superb work ethic.

RG Carter has been using the services of Target Site Engineering and Surveys on approximately fifteen of our building projects for around three years now. Tom and his team have most recently worked with us on the brand new Ford Store in Harlow, as well as a Grain Store in Ipswich Docks, the MMDIC building at Colchester hospital and the STEM building at Walthamstow Forest College.

We call upon Target SES time and again because they offer a prompt, reliable service that’s always delivered to time and budget. Tom’s experience and depth-of-understanding of what’s required on each of our projects is invaluable to us, and that’s why I would highly recommend Target’s services to you.
