Measured Building Survey
Measured Building Survey
Through years of experience, our expert surveyors have all the tools and knowledge required to produce highly accurate measured building survey drawings. We use the latest equipment and software to provide a fast, cost effective field to finish solution!

Measured Building Survey

We can undertake complete building surveys to include a topographic survey of the building footprint and location, floor plans, roof plans, elevations & section drawings to meet our clients specific requirements.

A measured building survey is an accurate representation of your building/structure showing all the structural elements and architectural features. It is vital for any project to have an accurate set of plans to work with. Floor plans are essential to give an accurate representation of the building/structure and these are typically backed up with elevation and cross section drawings. We can measure anything, from single dwellings and barns for extension or conversion, to large office blocks, historic and listed buildings, schools and hospitals. Try us.

Using our high accuracy surveying instruments and laser scanners coupled with traditonal tape measure and disto techniques, buildings and structures can be measured accurately and efficiently. We process all data using our bespoke survey software to produce accurate and informative survey drawings. This information is then presented and issued as scaled survey drawings delivered in a variety of different formats such as .DWG, .DXF & .PDF. Using our laser scan technology, we can also include raw scanned 3D data (point cloud) for issue in formats such as .RCP.


Floor Plans | Lease Plans

In the surveying, architecture and building engineering industry, a floor plan is a scaled drawing showing a view from above, of the relationships between rooms, spaces, traffic patterns, and other physical features at one level of a structure.


As standard, our floor plan drawings will show details of all internal and external wall lines, surveyed at a consistent height above floor level, with descriptions if required of any columns and other structural features. Doors with swings and thicknesses including door head heights. Windows with floor/cill and cill/head heights, showing returns and glazing. Overhead details showing any exposed roof trusses, purlins, ridge lines, ceiling lines and beams. Heights from floor level to the underside of overhead features will be recorded as well as ceiling heights. Floor levels will be recorded throughout the building at principle spots and staircases. Floor descriptions, surface finishes, general notes and annotation throughout the building. Floor plans may also include details of fixtures like sinks, water heaters, furnaces.


Our floorplan drawings can be issued in a variety of formats including .DWG, .DXF, .PDF at a scale which suits the clients specific requirements. Using our laser scan technology, we can also include raw scanned 3D data (point cloud) for issue in formats such as .RCP.


Elevations 

In the surveying, architecture and building engineering industry, the term 'elevation' refers to an orthographic projection of the exterior (or in some cases, interior) faces of a building or structure. These are presented as 2D survey drawings. As buildings are rarely simple rectangular shapes in plan, an elevation drawing is a first angle projection that shows all parts of the building as seen from a particular direction with the perspective flattened. Generally, elevations are produced for four directional views, for example, North, South, East, West.

As standard our elevation drawings will show details such as all building lines, wall lines, plinths, door and window recesses including full door and window details. All roof information including ridges, eaves, valleys, gutters and chimney details. All drainage details will be recorded such as rainwater, soil and waste pipes along with any electrical or communications items and ventilation openings. Surface finishes will be noted as well as any other general notes and annotation. Spot heights will be recorded and shown on all main features.

Our elevation drawings can be issued in a variety of formats including .DWG, .DXF, .PDF at a scale which suits the clients specific requirements. Using our laser scan technology, we can also include raw scanned 3D data (point cloud) for issue in formats such as .RCP.



Cross Sections

A cross section drawing shows a view of a building or structure as though it had been sliced in half or cut along another imaginary plane. For buildings, this can be very useful as it gives a view through the spaces and surrounding structures (typically across a vertical plane) that can revel the relationships between the different parts of the buildings that may not be apparent on floorplan drawings. Floorplan drawings are in fact a type of section, however, they are cut through the building on a horizontal rather than vertical plane.

As standard, our cross section drawings will include all building lines, wall lines, plinths, door and window recesses. All roof information including ridges, eaves, valleys, gutters and chimney details. If specified, the roof section will include all roof member details, sizes and spacing. Surface finishes, general notes and annotation along with heights of all main features will also be recorded.

We will not stop at building cross sections, we can cut a section through almost anything. Wether you require river sections, site sections, highway sections, sections of a cliff face you name it, we can produce them!

Our cross section drawings can be issued in a variety of formats including .DWG .DXF, .PDF at a scale which suits the clients specific requirements. Using our laser scan technology, we can also include raw scanned 3D data (point cloud) for issue in formats such as .RCP.
