I’ve written previously on the concept that the design must start with the survey This was in the context of working on an existing house but the same can also be said about working on a blank site for a new house.

The movie below is pretty interesting as it shows the OSi map with my survey data superimposed. What’s pretty cool is that the software (VectorWorks LandMark) can interpret the 3 dimensional spot heights and convert each of the points into contour lines and a meshed model of the site.

Anyway, this is where it all begins…
