CD Surveys currently employ 17 professional staff, which are mainly based, in our head office in Godalming. We currently operate 6-7 professional survey crews, 5 fully trained AutoCAD operators and 4 project managers. We pride ourselves that all current staff are fluent in all aspects of both surveying and CAD operations. Any large projects that require additional survey crews to support our normal day to day surveys for our existing client base are brought in on a self-employed basis. We can bring in another 3 survey crews at very short notice. These people have worked for CD Surveys and other companies where David Watterston was the Survey Manager for the past 17 years.

Soon after CD Surveys was formed Clients began to request further and more detailed surveys. Over the past 10 years CD Surveys have built up a wide range of Clients which include Developers, Architects, Consulting Engineers, House Builders, Local and County Councils and Government bodies, both here in the UK and in Ireland.
