Our Measured Building Survey Process

We follow a systematic approach for measured building surveys that is used to produce 2D plans or 3D models of a property’s existing structure.

Preparation and Planning

We define the project’s scope, detailing the required accuracy, level of detail, and key areas. When needed, we review existing documentation, including previous plans or building records.

On-Site Data Collection

Our surveyors visit your existing property to record structural dimensions using tools such as 3D laser scanners, total stations, and handheld devices.

Data Processing and Modelling

Raw data is imported into specialised software like CAD or Revit. Our technicians then process the data to produce clean 2D drawings or create 3D Building Information Modelling (BIM) files.

Final Drawing and Report Production

We deliver the final documents, including floor plans, elevations, sections, and site plans, in the required formats for architectural design or planning applications.
