Measured building surveys
Our measured building surveys capture every key feature of your building, giving you a clear, reliable representation of the current structure so you can move forward with your plans with confidence.
Understanding your building inside and out
Whether you’re planning an extension, remodelling an interior or seeking a change of use, a professional, high quality measured building survey ensures everyone has the right information from the off. If you’re architect, designer, developer, or property manager and need reliable plans or models, a measured building survey should always be at the top of your list of priorities.
Helping to reduce uncertainty later in the design or construction process, with a robust and carefully considered measured building survey you can avoid costly mistakes and make informed decisions, safe in the knowledge that your plans reflect exactly what’s on site. Construction or refurbishments aside, they’re also invaluable for managing assets, recording existing conditions and supporting heritage or conservation work.
How we work
We begin by exploring what information you need, how you need it representing, and how you plan to use that information when you get it. From there, our team prepares the scope of work, selects the appropriate survey techniques and plans our visit to your building.
We gather the data on site as efficiently and with as little disruption as possible before processing it and delivering outputs that slide smoothly into your workflow. The aim? To save you time, to minimise unecessary costs, and to give you clear, usable information for the next stage of your project.
