In this video, I share a real-life story of how I lost a client due to a critical mistake that wasn't even my fault. As a Land Surveyor with nearly 20 years of experience, I explain how the lack of a proper topographical survey led to a costly construction error, highlighting the risks of relying solely on architectural plans. In 2024, with all the buzz around drones, AI, and cutting-edge technology, it’s shocking that some professionals still underestimate the importance of accurate surveying. Join me as I walk you through the events that unfolded and how they could have been avoided. This is a must-watch for anyone in construction, architecture, or land surveying.
i have been there. people tent to take surveys lightly, understimating the importance of starting with the right foot: an updated topografical map. usually this step is skiped, architects design first, survey later and when things dont match, they blame the surveyor.
@@dat16855 some people understand this but others don’t. I just want to tell this story with the hope that more people will be aware of what can happen without proper planning.
Had the exact same problem Design based on an OS map! Ended up doing a topo of the whole site.
@@lamayengineeringservices unfortunately looks like a common thing with architects in the UK 😞
Hello brother,
We are having the some problems in my country Cyprus with the architects...
Also they use the old architecture drawings to continue lets say and attach the new build on the old one...
@@alkisasprogenous889 it's just sad that stuff like this still happens in 2024, that's why I made this video to hopefully reach also some people who are not informed. The architects think they save some money when they actually gamble on the client's project.
Probably the clients need to be aware that before starting any project they need to have a proper survey.
The design was based upon the horizontal measurement of a building taken from an OS map, thus causing an error. The architect would also require a vertical elevation of the existing building, therefore this would require someone to visit the site and measure the building elevation, it’s hard to understand such a basic mistake from the design team. It’s also hard to understand their non-reaction when you flagged the issue.
I know, it is unbelivable that stuff like this still happens. It was a chain of events that costed the final client a lot of money and all could be avoided with a basic survey. Some architects think can save a few dollars but actually they skip a very essential step.
I am trying to educate my clients and most of them understood how important is a proper survey before starting a project.
Surveyors usually talk about these cases only between themselves so I made this video with the hope that will reach a broad audience.
