Measured Building Survey in London

A measured building survey comprehensively assesses a building’s dimensions, layout, and physical characteristics. It involves taking precise measurements and creating detailed drawings or models of the existing structure. Surveyors, architects, or specialised surveying firms conduct measured surveys London. It offers many benefits, such as:

• Accurate documentation of the existing building.
• Precise measurements for renovation or design purposes.
• Efficient space planning and optimisation.
• Preservation of historical buildings and features.
• Enhanced property valuation.

What Are We Offering?

Here is a general overview of what is included in our measured building survey services in London:

Measurement Techniques

Various measurement techniques may be employed, depending on the complexity and requirements of the project. These include traditional tape measurements, electronic distance measuring devices, laser measuring tools, or advanced technologies like laser scanning or photogrammetry.

Floor Plans:

Our surveyor will create accurate floor plans of the building, capturing each room or space’s layout, dimensions, and features. Floor plans can include walls, doors, windows, staircases, and any other significant architectural elements.

Elevations:

Elevations are drawings that represent the vertical surfaces of the building, like the external walls. Surveyors measure and document the heights, positions, and features of windows, doors, and other external elements to create accurate elevation drawings.

Sections:

Sections are vertical slices through the building, showing the internal structure and layout. These drawings are useful for understanding the relationships between different floors, identifying potential issues, and planning renovations or modifications.

Roof Plans:

In some cases, a measured building survey may include roof plans. These plans detail the roof structure, including the shape, pitch, ridges, valleys, and any notable features or equipment.

3D Models:

Advanced techniques like laser scanning or photogrammetry can be used to create detailed 3D models of the building. These models provide a highly accurate representation of the existing structure.

Other Details:

Depending on the purpose of the survey, additional details may be recorded. This can include information about the building’s services (electrical, plumbing, HVAC systems), structural elements, site boundaries, access points, or any other relevant features.

Data Processing:

The collected measurements and documentation are processed and refined to ensure accuracy and consistency. This can involve transferring the field data into CAD software, aligning the measurements, and creating the final drawings or 3D models.

Deliverables:

The final deliverables of a measured building survey London include detailed drawings, plans, or 3D models, depending on the project’s scope. These documents accurately represent the existing building and can be used for renovation, design, property valuation, or facility management.
