WHAT IS A MEASURED BUILDING SURVEY?

A measured building survey is a precise, digital recording of a building’s existing form, dimensions and architectural & structural features. It produces floor plans, elevations, sections and, often, point clouds or 3D BIM models.

​

Using laser scanning, photogrammetry and traditional measurement, the survey data become the foundation for design, refurbishment, extension, conservation and facilities management.

​

Typical deliverables:

​

  • 2D CAD drawings (floor plans, elevations, sections)

  • 3D point clouds, mesh models, Revit / BIM files

  • As-built verification & “as-found” records

  • Heritage/conservation survey versions with high detail, such as Historic Building records

COMBINING TRADITIONAL PRACTICES WITH MODERN TECH

Precision in these types of surveys is paramount, and today’s latest scanning and measuring equipment allows us to capture accurate survey data quicker than ever. We combine the latest scanning software with our industry and building expertise, allowing us to simplify the findings and translate these into a comprehensive report and drawings that prove invaluable throughout those initial planning stages.

​

Taking around 3-4 hours, depending on the size and nature of the property, CAD drawings can also be generated from the information gathered, producing an electronic representation of the entire floor and roof plan with details of other important sections to consider.
