Service Overview

A measured building survey is the accurate, scaled record of a property that every architect, designer, and developer needs before drawing a single line of a new scheme. We capture the building inside and out — room dimensions, wall thicknesses, window and door positions, floor-to-ceiling heights, structural features, and existing service locations — and deliver them as clean, layered CAD drawings. Whether you are extending a single dwelling, converting a commercial floorplate, or assembling planning drawings for a listed terrace, our surveys give your design team dependable existing-conditions information so schemes are costed and built on fact, not assumption.

Key Benefits

Eliminates expensive design errors caused by working from inaccurate or out-of-date drawings
Fully layered CAD output ready for architectural design, planning, and building control submissions
Captures wall thicknesses, levels, and structural openings that desktop measurements always miss
Scales cleanly from a single flat to multi-storey commercial buildings and mixed-use blocks

Accuracy & Methodology

We combine laser scanning and direct measurement to record the building methodically, floor by floor. Control is carried through the property so that every level aligns vertically and horizontally. Field data is drawn up in CAD to your required layering and drawing conventions (for example the architect's template), and each drawing is checked against the survey record before issue.

Standard Accuracies Achieved: Drawn detail accurate to ±5mm to ±10mm, complying with survey specifications used by RICS-regulated practices.

Data & Deliverables

We export high-density spatial datasets ready for ingestion in leading architectural and civil engineering software.

  • Scaled 2D floor plans for every level (.DWG / .DXF / PDF)
  • Internal and external elevations and cross-sections
  • Reflected ceiling plans and roof plans where required
  • Site location plan tied to Ordnance Survey coordinates

Service Specific FAQ

Q: What information do you need before surveying a property?

Ideally the property address, an indication of floor area and number of storeys, access arrangements, and the deliverables and scale you need (for example 1:50 floor plans and elevations). If your architect has a CAD template or layering standard, we work to it so the drawings drop straight into their model.

Q: Do you survey occupied buildings?

Yes. We routinely survey occupied homes, offices, and retail units, scheduling around tenants and minimising disruption. Laser scanning is fast and non-intrusive, so most rooms are recorded in minutes.
