Measured Building Surveys

Accurate internal & external measurements for architecture, design, planning, and refurbishment.

Overview

Our Measured Building Surveys provide precise, detailed, and clearly presented information on the structure, layout, and features of buildings. Whether for redevelopment, architectural design, heritage preservation, planning approval, or refurbishment works, our surveys deliver an accurate digital representation of your property.

Using advanced technology such as 3D laser scanning, total stations, GNSS, and high resolution point clouds, we produce reliable floor plans, elevations, sections, and 3D models tailored to your project requirements.

Every building is unique — which is why we design every survey specification around the detail level you need.

Detailed Description

Our Measured Building Surveys include:

Internal Floor Plans

Precise room dimensions, wall positions, door and window openings, levels, heights, fixtures, and structural elements.

Elevations

Accurate external elevations showing façade details, architectural features, openings, materials, and heights.

Cross Sections

Vertical sections through key parts of the building to support structural design, planning, and visualisation.

3D Laser Scanning & Point Clouds

High density point cloud capture for complex, historic, or irregular buildings, ensuring millimetre level accuracy.

BIM / 3D Modelling Upon Request

Creation of detailed 3D Revit models for architects and designers looking to integrate survey data directly into their workflows.

Process

Survey Planning & Scope Definition

We discuss your needs, accuracy requirements, and preferred deliverables to define the correct level of detail.

On Site Data Capture

Using 3D laser scanners, total stations, GNSS, and photography to capture all internal and external features.

Data Processing & Drafting

Point cloud registration, CAD drafting, model building, and verification.

Final Output Delivery

Floor plans, elevations, sections, and 3D models delivered in DWG, PDF, DXF, RVT, or point cloud formats.
