Construction layout & excavation / Toronto & the GTA
Construction layout
you can pour to.
We lay out footings, walls, pile caps and curved forms from your IFC drawings, dig to the marks, and check the work before the concrete truck shows up. For forming crews in Toronto and across the GTA.

Works to your pour schedule
We show up when your crew needs marks, not when it suits us.

We read the drawings before we dig
Plenty of outfits can move dirt. We read the IFC set, know what tolerance each pour can take, and work with your forming crew from the first layout to the last pour.
That’s how a clash between the architectural and structural drawings gets caught on the ground, not after the concrete is in.
The work we’re set up for
Warehouses, low-rise condos, podium slabs and deep foundations. Most of it for concrete forming contractors, year-round.

We bring the equipment, so layout starts the day we show up. No waiting on a survey crew to come back.
- GNSS RTK rover
- Real-time satellite positioning. No line-of-sight setups across big, open footprints.
- Field computer
- Layout points loaded from your IFC model and checked in the field before anything gets marked.
- Site control
- Benchmarks set and re-checked as the job goes up, so every pour ties to the same datum.
