BS5837 Trees in relation to construction surveys
We have carried out surveys and provided reports for tree populations on various sites that have ranged from small private residential properties to facilitate planning applications for new builds and extensions to existing properties as well as for larger industrial and commercial sites such as shopping centres and hospitals.
All our surveys to date have helped gain planning consent by finding ideal solutions to tricky constraints that achieved the right balance between retaining trees in a safe and healthy condition against the key elements of the proposed design plans.
We can assume the role of nominated Arboriculturist to provide on-site supervision and advice throughout the construction phase of the project to ensure that the control measures are fully implemented and maintained throughout.

Once the initial site surveys are completed on site using our data capture app, we then using mapping software to create the plans that visualise the various above and below ground tree constraints and then to show how the trees will be protected.
