Surveying and digitisation
2D/3D surveys, photogrammetry, point clouds and existing-condition drawings provide a reliable project base.
← Back to the four divisions
Buildings division
Architecture, structures & building engineering
From existing-condition surveys to execution drawings, TOPDEC combines surveying, architectural design, structural engineering, utilities and technical coordination. The objective is to turn project requirements into accurate, coordinated and buildable documents.
Our services
From existing-condition survey to execution package
We tailor the study level to the objective: new design, extension, refurbishment, document updates or construction preparation.
Architectural design
Functional organisation, plans, sections, elevations, project integration and development of documents required at each stage.
Reinforced-concrete structures
Selection of the structural system, modelling, member and foundation design, calculations and structural drawings.
Steel structures
Steel structure design, stability, connections, construction details and coordination with the envelope and equipment.
Assessment and refurbishment
Assessment of existing structures, identification of defects, strengthening, alteration or extension options, and construction preparation.
Utilities and technical coordination
Roads, grading, external utilities, opening coordination and interfaces between architecture, structure and building services.
