Led by Charles Fanshawe with 30 years of geospatial expertise, we provide RICS-regulated surveys across the South West. From complex listed building plans to sensitive boundary disputes, we combine technical precision with a personal, carbon-conscious approach.
Three Decades of Geospatial Excellence in the South West
Based on the outskirts of Dartmoor, we are a Chartered Land Survey practice dedicated to precision, integrity, and a personal touch. Led by Charles Fanshawe, a professional with over 30 years of experience in geospatial measurement, we bridge the gap between high-tech data collection and practical, architectural insight.
Whether you are a homeowner navigating a sensitive boundary issue or an architect requiring millimetre-perfect plans for a heritage project, we handle every project from "site to screen."

From Dartmoor to the Digital Screen
We don't just provide data; we provide solutions. Because Charles remains an active senior consultant involved in every stage—from the initial site visit to the final draft—nothing is lost in translation.
We catch the details that others might overlook at the specification stage, ensuring your project starts on a solid foundation. Our work is rigorous, accurate, and strictly bound by the ethics and regulations of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
Specialists in Heritage and Complex Structures
The South West is defined by its unique architecture. We are highly experienced with the specific challenges of surveying:
- Listed Buildings: Navigating the complexities of heritage assets.
- Traditional Materials: Expert measurement of cob, stone, and irregular historic structures.
- Difficult Terrain: From rugged moorland to tight urban plots.
A Sensitive Approach to Boundary Disputes
Boundary issues can be stressful and deeply personal. We pride ourselves on bringing integrity and compassion to these situations.
As Chartered Surveyors, we provide impartial, CPR-compliant expert witness reports. However, our first goal is always to help resolve disagreements through clear, evidence-based communication and field verification before they reach a tribunal.
Cutting-Edge Tech with a Conscience
We utilise the latest Laser Scanning and Drone Imagery to capture hard-to-reach areas like roof elements or complex structural issues. This allows us to produce high-accuracy BIM models and 3D imagery for modern architectural workflows.
Our Climate Commitment: We take climate action seriously. Dart Surveys is aiming to be carbon positive, contributing to biodiversity projects and tree planting to ensure our work leaves the environment better than we found it.
