Testimonials
“We have found KGSS to be very accommodating in creating surveys adapted to our requirements as Architects. We have found their survey work to be accurate and all elements on their surveys clearly described. KGSS have worked with us to create new types of surveys adapted to 3D Modelling and BIM including Point Cloud scans and full Revit Models. They have a positive and can-do attitude to survey work. I would have no hesitation recommending KGSS for architectural surveys."
"Very professional, fully equipped and easy to work with, no survey is too complex for KGSS."
“We have found KGSS survey and level of detail excellent. I am impressed with the combination of different methods and we will keep coming back for more”
