Revenue model

1. Surveying Services: Project-based professional services including topographical surveys, measured building surveys, utility mapping, engineering surveys, and geophysical investigations. Revenue generated through project fees based on scope, site size, and complexity of work.
2. Utility Mapping Services: Specialist underground utility detection and mapping services following PAS128 standards. Includes desktop assessments, site reconnaissance, and detection surveys using GPR and electromagnetic location.
3. Geophysical Investigations: Non-intrusive subsurface investigations including archaeological geophysics, brownfield reconnaissance, environmental geophysics, mineshaft location, void detection, and UXO surveys.

Products and services

• Land Survey Topographic and land surveying services delivered to construction, infrastructure, engineering and public-sector clients for project planning and design.
• Measured Building Survey Detailed internal and external measured surveys of buildings, typically delivered to architects, engineers and property professionals for design, refurbishment and asset records.
• Engineering Survey Engineering-grade surveying services supporting civil and structural engineering projects, including setting out, deformation and control surveys.
• Utility Mapping Detection, location and mapping of buried utilities using techniques such as ground-penetrating radar and electromagnetic locators to reduce utility strike risk on construction and infrastructure projects.
• Geophysics Geophysical investigation services to characterise subsurface conditions for construction, infrastructure, environmental and asset management projects.
• Laser Scanning 3D laser scanning / LiDAR capture of buildings, sites and infrastructure producing point cloud data for measured survey, BIM and asset record purposes.
• Drone Survey Aerial UAV/drone-based survey and mapping of sites, structures and terrain to support topographic, inspection and asset recording requirements.
• Heritage Survey Non-intrusive surveying of heritage and historic buildings and sites, providing accurate records to support conservation, restoration and management of heritage assets.
• BIM / 3D Revit Modelling Conversion of captured survey data into BIM-ready 3D Revit and CAD models for use in design, construction and asset management workflows.
• Drainage / CCTV Survey CCTV-based inspection and condition surveying of drainage systems to support maintenance, repair and asset management decisions.
• Structural Monitoring Monitoring of structures for movement, deformation or settlement over time to support safety management and engineering decisions on buildings and infrastructure.
• Confined Space Survey Surveying work carried out in confined-space environments (such as chambers, shafts and tunnels) requiring specialist access and safety procedures.

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology): UK archaeology and heritage consultancy with a dedicated geophysics team doing archaeological, environmental and ground investigation surveys. Overlaps with Met's heritage and archaeological geophysics offering rather than its commercial surveying core.
• Headland Archaeology: UK heritage and archaeological services firm with an in-house geophysics team providing archaeological, environmental and geotechnical surveys. Comparable to Met's heritage and geophysics work for Historic England and similar conservation clients.

Direct peers

• Plowman Craven: UK surveying and measurement consultancy offering topographical, measured building, BIM, utility mapping and laser scanning services. Closely comparable to Met in service mix, B2B/government client base and PAS128 utility mapping offering.
• Severn Partnership: UK surveying firm providing PAS128 utility surveys, topographical, measured building, geophysical and engineering surveys. Direct competitor on PAS128 mapping and integrated survey work, with overlapping public-sector and developer clients.
• Murphy Geospatial: Ireland-based but operates across the UK delivering utility mapping (PAS128), topographical, BIM, laser scanning and geophysical services. Comparable service stack and project-based professional services model.
• Malcolm Hughes Land Surveyors: UK land and measured building surveying firm offering topographical, utility detection, BIM and monitoring services. Similar mid-sized UK professional services profile and customer segments to Met.
• Technics Group: UK surveying and engineering consultancy delivering topographical, utility mapping, measured building, monitoring and geospatial services. Direct comparator on integrated surveying for construction and infrastructure clients.

Broad incumbents

• SOCOTEC UK: Large UK testing, inspection and certification group offering utility surveying, geotechnical and environmental services within a broader portfolio. Overlaps with Met on PAS128 utility mapping and geo-environmental work, but as part of a much wider TIC platform.
• WSP in the UK: Global engineering consultancy with a UK surveying, geospatial and utilities practice. Competes with Met on large multi-disciplinary schemes and developer frameworks, but as one capability within a broad design and advisory offering.
• AtkinsRéalis (UK): Major engineering consultancy with UK surveying, geomatics and utilities capability. Competes for integrated survey packages on large infrastructure and development projects, particularly where the parent consultancy is the lead designer.
