MSP is unusual as IT companies go, being the IT department of chartered surveyor Butler Sherborn. Its latest offering takes advantage of the growing availability of digital mapping on the web.
It produces a digital mapping software package that can be combined with a site survey that uses GPS – the global positioning system – to provide accurate mapping of a site and its boundaries.
The GPS system allows difficult sites to be measured. A backpack, with a satellite receiver, enables the firm’s surveyors to define accurately boundaries against the worldwide system. The boundaries are then cross-related to the digital mapping data.
The system is geared particularly towards the establishment of new boundaries in planning, development and any form of conveyancing, and can be submitted easily to the Land Registry digitally.
The digital mapping data used is from the Ordnance Survey.
