About Malcolm Hughes Land Surveyors Ltd
Precision Geospatial Data for Every Environment
We aren't just surveyors; we are your partners in de-risking complex projects. As part of the Ogilvie Group, Malcolm Hughes brings together decades of traditional surveying wisdom with the very latest in geospatial innovation. Whether you are managing a high-speed rail link, a coastal development, or a city-centre renovation, we provide the "ground truth" you need to move forward.
From Rail Corridors to the Deep Sea
Our expertise spans the most challenging environments in the UK and beyond. We are a trusted name in the transport sector, providing safety-critical surveys for Network Rail and major highway agencies.
- Rail & Highways: We specialise in automated monitoring and high-resolution topographic surveys that keep infrastructure moving.
- Hydrographic Surveys: Our team maps what lies beneath the surface, providing essential data for marine and inland water projects.
- Underground Utilities: We use advanced mapping technology to reveal the hidden networks of pipes and cables that can derail a project if left undiscovered.
Innovation at Our Core: NavVis VLX and UAV LiDAR
We believe that better technology leads to better decisions. That’s why we invest heavily in the latest kit. Our use of the NavVis VLX allows for rapid, high-accuracy indoor mapping, while our UAV LiDAR capabilities mean we can survey steep embankments or hazardous sites from the air, keeping our teams safe and your data precise.

We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality outputs—from 3D BIM models to verified view surveys—on time and within budget.
