What does a measured building survey include?

A measured building survey is a highly accurate digital representation of a building’s internal and external structure. Using state-of-the-art laser scanning and surveying techniques, we produce precise 2D and 3D drawings that form the foundation for any architectural, engineering or construction project. Our deliverables include:

  • 2D plans (floor plans): Accurate, scaled layout drawings detailing walls, windows, doors and structural elements, essential for precise planning and design
  • Elevations: Detailed external-façade surveys capturing architectural features and materials, vital for planning, conservation and heritage projects
  • Cross-sections and internal elevations: Building sections showing floor levels, ceiling heights and structural details, crucial for structural engineers, builders and interior designers undertaking major modifications
  • 3D Revit and BIM models (optional): Intelligent digital models for clash detection, asset management and future planning

Why choose a measured building survey?

Accurate surveys eliminate costly errors and expedite approvals for smarter design and construction. Our precise data saves time and money while providing a future-proof digital record for efficient building management and development.
