Setting out engineers in the North West

JG Engineering provides setting out engineers across a range of sectors, including civil engineering, groundworks, earthworks, RC frame and portal frame construction, while keeping quality standards high. We provide a professional, affordable and reliable service to our clients.

With extensive experience across construction, including earthworks and major civil engineering projects, we bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every job. Our background spans many aspects of construction, so we can handle complex tasks and large-scale projects with confidence.

Accurate positioning for every element

Setting out transfers construction drawings from paper to the physical site, so structures are built to specification. It gives accurate positions for foundations, walls and other critical elements of a project.

JG Engineering uses total stations, GPS equipment and laser levels to measure and mark the exact locations, elevations and dimensions needed on site. That helps construction teams minimise errors, work efficiently and comply with the design, keeping projects on time and on budget.

Setting out questions

A setting out engineer transfers the positions and levels on the design drawings onto the ground, marking where foundations, walls, columns, drainage and other elements must be built. Accurate setting out means the project is built to the design first time.

We provide setting out engineers for civil engineering, groundworks, earthworks, RC frame and portal frame construction, from single structures to large-scale projects.

Yes. We can establish the site control network that setting out works from, and support GPS machine control and earthworks checks on the same project, so everyone works to the same reference.
