A measured building survey involves capturing measurements of buildings and sites to create scaled data representations.

With technology advancements like drones, these surveys can now be conducted with precision. The outputs can range from ground floor plans to detailed 3D models based on the projects requirements.

What is Involved in a Measured Building Survey?

Every project comes with its set of requirements such, as the scale needed accuracy levels, level of detail, timeframes for delivery and associated costs. The data gathered serves as the groundwork for planning stages like space allocation and fire safety measures forming the basis for all development and design blueprints.

It is essential to conduct surveys before creating any schematics to prevent issues like cost escalations, project delays and non compliance with planning regulations and building codes. Accurate surveys play a role in averting problems such as construction or surpassing height restrictions that could result in legal complications.

How is a Measured Survey Carried Out?

Our expert surveyors employ cutting edge tools to ensure precision. Prior to commencing the survey they review existing site data like Google Maps to grasp the site layout and its surroundings. Modern laser technologies complement measurement methods, enabling accurate data acquisition. For example laser tape measures can accurately measure distances up to 200 meters with a precision of 2 millimeters thereby reducing delays, disputes and additional expenses with a drone is its 20 millimeters.

Map the contours of the terrain well as existing features above and below ground level. Elements like trees, buildings, roads, walkways, grids, manholes, retaining walls and utility poles are all encompassed.

Topographic surveys are tailored to meet project demands with specifications or guidelines provided by clients. Using software we create plans relative to land coordinates existing reference points or OS grid system coordinates including elevations, contours, site features GPS data points and cross sections. The finalized drawings are delivered in format or hard copies along with.dwg files.

Building Surveys

Whether its, for renovations, modifications or extensions or replicating existing design details; we offer accurate plans detailing the architectural and structural aspects of buildings.
Our flexible approach ensures that we meet each clients needs with precision enabling planning and design.

Accurate surveys play a role, in ensuring project efficiency sticking to budgets and meeting deadlines.

Mapping Underground Utilities

We can create a survey drawing or utilize a land survey plan provided by the client as a base layer for mapping existing utilities and underground services. By employing electromagnetic and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) systems we achieve service mapping with accuracy. We also integrate utility record search data for land utility mapping presented in.pdf and.dwg formats using AutoCAD.
