Residential Measured Building Survey

A measured building survey is crucial in the design and renovation process, providing architects and engineers with detailed measurements and 3D models of a building’s interior and exterior. The surveyors use cutting-edge technology and equipment to produce accurate and detailed plans that capture every inch of a building’s structure.

Whether you’re planning a remodel, assessing the condition of a property, or are curious about the layout of a building, measured building surveys are the first step to unlocking a wealth of information.

Our Process of Work

Our team follows an intricately designed process that ensures an organised approach and optimised results. Here is how we do it:

Initial Consultation

Firstly, there will be an initial consultation, and a quote will be given to learn about the site location. With any construction or renovation project, getting off to the right start is essential.
Step 1

Capturing Data

Typically we would spend the first day on your site with a 3D Laser scanner which accurately captures the data on your site. This will pick up everything on your site as long as it is visible.
Step 2

Software Clean-up

Once the site is completely surveyed, we run it through software to clean up any bad data and stitch together the individual scans into one large project to mimic your site, which is known as reality capture.
Step 3

Export into AutoCAD

We then export the data in to AutoCAD and turn it into Floor plans, cross sections, internal elevations, external elevations, floor level surveys and topographical site plans. We use the latest version of AutoCAD to provide you with DWG and PDF formats.
Step 4

We can help you get the surveys and drawings that you need for your projects.

FAQs

A measured building survey provides a comprehensive and objective assessment of a building’s structural and architectural features. It is primarily used for architectural purposes, illustrating building details that include floor plans, measured elevations, and cross-sections as needed.

Measured Building Surveys are a pack of several things that combine to create an in-detailed building plan, such as:

  • Accurate area and site dimensions for both building and ground levels
  • Dimensions of all building elements, including windows, doors, and walls
  • 3D spatial location in relation to nearby sites and buildings
  • Reflected ceiling plans for lighting and other installations
  • Room details, including orientations, shapes, and dimensions
  • Ironmongery schedules for windows and doors, including operational details like latches and keyed locks.
  • Location and details of existing services such as drains and water pipes

The cost of a measured building survey will vary depending on factors such as the type and condition of the building, the level of detail required, and the data outputs needed. Additional costs may apply for surveys that require laser scanning.

As an essential starting point for any major construction project, measured building surveys can be conducted on a wide range of structures, such as residential homes, flats, apartments, offices, and even religious buildings like churches.
