Latchmere Road

HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) | Fallowfield, Manchester

Latchmere Road Project

Fairwater Properties, having an extensive portfolio in Greater Manchester, and being a responsible landlord, had the opportunity to rethink this student property before the start of the new term. Heights being crucial, any future building work had to consider the relationship between the external roof levels and the internal ceiling heights. Another concern was the floor joists and their orientation in comparison to the walls, along with steps and their riser height for access into, and through, the property.

Project Scope

NTB Survey was tasked with undertaking a measured building survey to provide crucial spatial information that would maximise adaptations to the building and inform the structural engineer and architect of the constraints of the property, giving the builders detailed plans they can rely upon for renovation work.

What We Did

Access to the property was scheduled to coincide with tenant vacancy, outside of term time. This meant that there was no disruption to anyone at the property and also helped reduce the overall costs, as it allowed the completion of the survey within a single day.

We used a Leica scanner to then capture the point cloud, including elevations and floor spaces through considerate placement of scan locations, minimising disruption whilst maximising data capture. Floor coverings where also lifted to inform joist direction and meet the client specification.

The point cloud was then registered in REG360 and drafted in BRICScad.

CHALLENGES FACED & DELIVERABLES

The specific detailed required by the client was critical for them in understanding the property. Heights had to be captured and presented in a manner that it was easy to understand where they had been captured and the position of them relative to other features. Crucial for any adaptations to the structure in the future. Deploying scanning technology allowed us here at NTB to liaise with the client, making sure that all of his needs where met, and then presented on the drawings so that the architect and structural engineer were fully informed on the existing constraints of the building.
