Beyond the Hardware: Surveytech Named ‘Best Surveying Equipment Hire & Sales Specialist 2026’ by BUILD Magazine

Surveytech has officially been named Best Surveying Equipment Hire & Sales Specialist 2026 in the prestigious BUILD Magazine Design & Build Awards.

This recognition marks a major milestone for the London-based team, bringing a new industry accolade to a trophy cabinet that already features partner awards from geospatial and reality capture leaders like GeoMax and Matterport.

While supplying top-tier surveying instruments—from robotic total stations and GNSS rovers to 3D laser scanners and UAVs—remains central to Surveytech’s operation, this award reflects something deeper: a recognition that modern surveying success relies as much on support and technical expertise as it does on hardware.

"Having access to the best scanner or total station on the market doesn't mean much if your team hits a wall on site and has no one to call. This award is a testament to our team’s dedication to keeping our customers moving, accurate, and confident." - Matt Lacey, Managing Director, Surveytech

Why Technical Support Matters in Modern Geospatial Workflows

The geospatial industry has evolved rapidly over the past decade. Reality capture, machine control, and high-precision GNSS positioning have become standard practice on construction, civils, and engineering sites across the UK. However, as the technology grows more sophisticated, so does the potential complexity of on-site workflows.

Surveytech’s business model is built around bridging the gap between advanced technology and real-world execution:

• Field-Ready Knowledge: Equipment isn't just handed over; it is backed by hands-on operational advice from experienced professionals who understand site conditions, coordinate systems, and software integration.

• Rapid-Response Technical Support: When site teams face setup challenges, software glitches, or file transfer issues, direct access to experienced technicians minimizes downtime and keeps projects on schedule.

• Servicing & Rigorous Quality Control: Every instrument hired or sold passes through meticulous calibration and testing facilities, ensuring precision right out of the box.

A Growing Trophy Cabinet of Leading Brand Partnerships

The BUILD Magazine 2026 accolade builds upon a strong foundation of supplier recognition. As a trusted partner for market leaders like GeoMax and Matterport, alongside partnerships with Leica Geosystems, Unicontrol, and Vivax-Metrotech, Surveytech has consistently maintained the high service and support benchmarks demanded by global equipment manufacturers.
