Measured Building Surveys

Measured building surveys provide an accurate record of an existing building, capturing its dimensions, layout and key features. The resulting survey information provides reliable plans and drawings to support design, refurbishment, renovation and development projects.

Why is accurate building information useful?

Accurate information about an existing building provides a reliable starting point for design and planning. A measured building survey helps architects, designers, developers and contractors understand the building as it currently exists, reducing assumptions and helping proposed work to be planned with confidence.

Who are these surveys for?

Architects, developers, contractors, property professionals and homeowners use measured building surveys for a wide range of projects, including extensions, refurbishments, renovations, conversions and redevelopment. They are particularly useful where existing drawings are unavailable, incomplete or out of date. Having accurate information from the outset gives everyone involved a reliable basis for their work. It can also help when planning alterations, assessing available space or coordinating different elements of a project. A detailed record of the existing building can reduce uncertainty during the design process and help projects progress more efficiently from the initial planning stages through to construction.
