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

​​

Why Choose AMS SURVEYS

OUR MEASURED SURVEY TECHNOLOGY

  • 3D laser scanning / LiDAR – capturing millions of data points for detailed point clouds

  • Drone / UAS surveys – ideal for roofline, facades and hard-to-access areas

  • Total station / reflectorless EDM – for core architectural geometry

  • Photogrammetry / rectified photography – high resolution façade imaging

  • Scan-to-BIM / point cloud processing – deliverables in Revit / BIM format

  • Heritage recording techniques – high dynamic range imagery, detail capture for listed / historic buildings

DIFFERENT TYPES OF MEASURED SURVEYS

Point Cloud Surveys
Point cloud data can form a key digital output from our Measured Building Surveys, providing an accurate spatial record of existing buildings.

​

3D Laser Scanning Surveys
3D laser scanning is one of the technologies we use to capture accurate building data as part of our wider Measured Building Survey services.

​

Scan to BIM Surveys
Scan to BIM surveys combine detailed site capture with digital modelling and form part of our comprehensive Measured Building Surveys.

​

Revit Measured Building Surveys
Revit models can be produced from accurately captured survey data through our wider Measured Building Survey service.

​

Scan to CAD Surveys
Scan to CAD converts captured building data into usable drawings and forms part of our specialist Measured Building Survey services.

​

As-Built Surveys

As-built surveys accurately document existing construction and are available as part of our wider Measured Building Surveys.

​

Floor Plan Surveys
Accurate floor plans are one of the principal drawing outputs available through our Measured Building Survey service.

​

Building Elevation Surveys
Internal and external elevations can be captured alongside floor plans and sections through our comprehensive Measured Building Surveys.

​

Building Section Surveys
Building sections provide an accurate understanding of vertical relationships and can be included within our wider Measured Building Survey service.

​

Roof Plan Surveys
Roof plans can be incorporated into a broader package of drawings produced through our Measured Building Surveys.

​

Reflected Ceiling Plan Surveys
Reflected ceiling plans can be provided alongside floor plans, elevations and sections within a detailed Measured Building Survey.

​

Area Measurement Surveys
Area measurements can be derived from accurately surveyed building information through our specialist Measured Building Survey services.​
