Smarter estate management

Our Asset Management & Digital Estates service helps clients access, manage and update building information long after a survey has been completed. By combining accurate survey data with interactive digital twin platforms, we give estates teams, facilities managers, property owners and project teams a practical way to view and understand their buildings.

From interactive building walkthroughs and asset registers to floor plans, room data, maintenance records and compliance information, we create digital environments that bring key building information together in one accessible place.

Whether you manage a single building or a wider property portfolio, our digital estate solutions help you move away from fragmented records, outdated drawings and disconnected spreadsheets. Instead, you gain a reliable digital record that can support maintenance, planning, compliance, refurbishment and long-term estate management.

How we work

Every project starts with a conversation. Before recommending a survey method or digital platform, we take the time to understand your buildings, your current records and how your team needs to access information in the future.

Once we understand what’s required, we capture accurate building and site data using the most appropriate survey methods. This may include 3D laser scanning, measured building surveys, condition surveys, drone imagery, aerial modelling, 360° photography and point cloud capture.

The information is then processed and structured so it can be used within a digital estate or digital twin platform. This can include interactive walkthroughs, room data, floor areas, asset information, building documentation, maintenance records, compliance details, drawings, models and point cloud integration.

The end result is a clear, practical and easy-to-navigate digital environment that allows your team to access the information they need without repeated site visits or time spent searching through disconnected records.

Why choose IG Surveys?

Good estate management depends on reliable information. At IG Surveys, we combine survey accuracy with practical digital outputs, helping clients turn buildings, sites and infrastructure into clear, usable information that supports day-to-day management and long-term planning.

We understand that every estate is different. Some clients need a full digital twin, while others need an improved asset register, updated floor plans, condition information or a more accessible way to view building documentation. Our approach is flexible, allowing us to build a solution around the way your team already works.

By bringing survey data, asset information, drawings, imagery and documentation together, we help reduce uncertainty and improve access to the information that matters. Your team can view spaces remotely, check room data, locate assets, review maintenance records, access compliance information and make more informed decisions about the buildings you manage.

Whether you’re looking to create a digital record of an existing estate, improve the quality of your asset data or develop a more interactive way to manage building information, our team will help you capture and structure the right information from the start.

FAQs

  • Reliable digital estate data gives you a clearer view of your assets, helping you plan maintenance, manage refurbishments, improve compliance, reduce unnecessary site visits and make more informed long-term decisions.

  • A digital estate is a structured digital record of your buildings, spaces and assets. A digital twin goes a step further by creating a more connected digital representation that can be updated, analysed and used to monitor or understand performance over time.

  • Yes. We can review and build on your existing drawings, asset lists, BIM models, maintenance records or facilities management information, then fill in the gaps with accurate survey data where needed.

  • The best method depends on the site and the information required. We can use 3D laser scanning, measured building surveys, drone surveys, photography, 360° capture and other survey techniques to create a complete and reliable digital record.

  • We can tailor deliverables to suit your workflow, including CAD drawings, PDF plans, point clouds, 3D models, BIM-ready files, spreadsheets, asset schedules and visual digital environments.

  • Yes. Our approach can be scaled to suit anything from a single building to a multi-site estate. We’ll agree the level of detail, priorities and delivery format before work begins, so the final output is practical and cost-effective.

  • Yes. Digital estate information can be updated as buildings change, assets are replaced or new survey data becomes available. This helps keep your records current and useful throughout the life of the estate.

  • Yes. Building documentation, maintenance records, compliance information and other important records can be linked within the digital platform, helping your team keep key information organised and easier to access.

  • Yes. Drone imagery and aerial models can be included where useful, particularly for larger sites, roof areas, external assets, infrastructure, land, access routes and wider estate planning.

  • Yes. Point cloud data captured through 3D laser scanning can be integrated into the wider digital estate record, providing a highly accurate survey foundation for drawings, models, measurements and future project work.

  • Yes. Room names, room numbers, floor areas and other space information can be included within the digital estate platform, drawings or asset schedules, depending on how you need to use the data.

  • Yes. We can capture and structure asset information into clear registers or schedules. These can include asset locations, references, condition information, maintenance details and other data needed by your estates or facilities teams.

  • Yes. Condition survey data can be captured and added to the digital record, giving you a clearer understanding of building condition and helping support maintenance, refurbishment and investment planning.

  • A digital twin allows your team to continue accessing and using building information long after the survey work has finished. It can help with maintenance planning, asset management, compliance, refurbishment projects, remote site reviews and long-term estate decision-making.

  • A digital twin is an interactive digital version of a building, site or estate. It can bring together survey data, floor plans, asset information, room data, imagery, documentation, maintenance records and compliance information in one accessible platform.
