MEASURED BUILDING SURVEYS

nationwide Measured Building Surveys

What is a Measured Building Survey?

A measured building survey captures the precise dimensions and layout of a building’s structure, external facade and internal features. We measure walls, doors, windows, floor levels, ceiling heights, structural elements and more to get exact dimensions of your space.

Our experienced surveyors use high-tech equipment like laser scanners and one-man robotic total stations to collect all of this information. We then turn it into detailed 2D drawings (like floor plans, cross-sections and elevations) or 3D models, depending on what you need. Everything is delivered in digital formats that architects and designers can work with, such as CAD or Revit.

WHAT ARE MEASURED BUILDING SURVEYS USED FOR?

These surveys are essential when you want to renovate, extend, or redevelop any existing building. Before you can change something, you need to know exactly what’s already there.

They give architects, engineers, planners, and builders a reliable starting point to make good decisions – helping avoid expensive mistakes or delays later on.

Through the delivery of digital outputs from the measurements, visualisation tools can also be developed, allowing immersive experiences through 3D models, combining both existing and design in real time to aid a better understanding of schemes and get a real “feel” for the new development to inform decisions.

Measured building surveys are also crucial in leveraging asset portfolios. By understanding structures and layouts, maintenance plans can be developed and adhered to, along with critical information such as fire plans that conform to the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 (SI 2022/547), ensuring the safety of residents and those that use buildings.

Who Needs Measured Building Surveys?

Architects & Designers

They need detailed measurements of existing buildings to create accurate designs and make sure their new plans will actually work with what's already there.

Developers & Contractors

Knowing exactly what's on site - including structural elements, service routes and potential constraints - helps them avoid unexpected issues and deliver projects efficiently.

Building Owners, Facility Managers & Landlords

Measured surveys help with managing properties, planning spaces, calculating rental areas, fire safety assessments and long-term maintenance planning.

Planning Consultants & Heritage Professionals

For listed buildings or complex projects, accurate drawings are essential for getting planning permission or making careful changes to historic buildings.
