What is a Measured Building Survey?
A Measured Building Survey provides accurate and detailed information about the physical features of a building, including its shape, size, and position. It involves precise measurement techniques to record data on internal and external dimensions and characteristics. Deliverables can include floor plans, elevations, sections, and 3D models, used for various purposes like architectural design and planning applications.

Deliverables
We offer a variety of deliverables, including:

• 2D Drawings:
  Floor plans, roof plans, internal and external elevations, reflective ceiling plans, and as-built measured 2D drawings.

• 3D Models:
  Detailed 3D representations based on survey data.

Survey Process
Our Measured Building Survey follows a systematic process:

1. Initial Consultation: Discuss project scope and specific requirements with the client.

2. Site Visit: Our surveyors visit the site to capture accurate measurements using tools like laser scanners and GPS.

3. Data Processing: The captured data is processed using specialized software, ensuring accuracy and organization.

4. Deliverables: The processed data is transformed into detailed 2D drawings and 3D models.

5. Quality Control: Deliverables are checked for accuracy before being delivered to the client.
