Geomap

What Geomap does

Geomap Ltd is a chartered land surveying firm headquartered in Nailsworth, Gloucestershire, founded circa 2010 by Charles Potten. The firm delivers above- and below-ground surveying services to UK infrastructure, water utilities, construction, architecture, property development, and heritage clients. Its core offering is organised into three integrated service lines: topographic, photogrammetry and hydrographic surveys; building surveys, laser scanning and 3D/BIM modelling; and utility, drainage and GPR surveys, including a five-level Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) framework spanning desktop studies through vacuum-excavation-grade exposure.

The technology stack combines traditional surveying practice with digital capture instrumentation including terrestrial laser scanning, aerial and terrestrial photogrammetry, Ground Penetrating Radar, CCTV drainage inspection using WinCan software, and vacuum excavation. Deliverables are produced in AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and BIM-compatible formats for integration into client design and planning workflows. Quality assurance is governed by ISO 9001:2000-aligned procedures with documented quality and procedures manuals.

Geomap operates a project-based, quote-driven professional services model targeting enterprise clients including Severn Trent Water, North Midland Construction, Roberts Limbrick, Willmott Dixon, Sisk Group, Faithful+Gould, Jaguar Land Rover, and the Bloor Group. Go-to-market is sales-led, primarily direct via the firm website contact form and outreach, with regional delivery across South West England and project-based work extending across the UK. On 2 February 2026, Geomap was acquired by Dalcour Maclaren, a 650+-employee land and environmental consultancy serving utilities and infrastructure sectors, positioning the firm to scale its surveying capacity into AMP8 water investment programmes and access complementary land, environment, and stakeholder engagement services.
