MEASURED BUILDING SURVEYS
IN LIVERPOOL & NORTHWEST

DWG, PDF, Revit, point cloud viewers

Accuracy depends on the project and specification. Our surveys typically achieve tolerances of ±2–5 mm. For heritage or high-precision engineering projects, tighter tolerances can be agreed.

3-4 Hours based on building size/complexity, some buildings can take a week or two.

A measured building survey is a highly accurate record of a building’s dimensions, structure and features. It produces drawings such as floor plans, elevations and sections, and can also include 3D point clouds or BIM models. These surveys are often required for design, refurbishment, heritage conservation, facilities management and as-built verification.

You may need a measured survey if you are:

• Planning an extension, renovation or conversion

• Applying for planning or listed building consent

• Managing a school, college, university or commercial estate

• Recording a historic or listed property for conservation

• Re-designing building services or MEP systems

• Verifying construction against design drawings (as-built)

Without a measured survey, designers and contractors risk inaccuracies that can cause costly mistakes.

AMS Surveys can provide:

• 2D CAD drawings: floor plans, elevations, sections

• 3D point clouds: accurate scan data for designers

• BIM models (Revit): ready for clash detection and coordination

• As-built drawings: to verify construction accuracy

• Heritage records: detailed annotated drawings and photos for listed buildings

Deliverables are tailored to your project requirements.

The cost depends on:

• Size of the building (floor area and complexity)

• Required deliverables (2D CAD vs full BIM model)

• Level of detail and accuracy specified

• Access requirements (e.g. scaffolding, drone survey)

Yes. We deliver Scan-to-BIM outputs in Revit format, allowing architects, engineers and contractors to work directly with accurate 3D models.

Yes. We specialise in heritage surveys, capturing fine architectural details and delivering outputs suitable for Historic England Level 2–4 recording. Our team includes conservation specialists with experience in Victorian, Edwardian and Grade-listed properties.

AMS Surveys operates across:

• Core regions: Liverpool, Manchester, Cheshire, Lancashire, North Wales

• Extended coverage: across the North of England (Birmingham to the Scottish border) for commercial and heritage projects

We can mobilise nationally for large-scale projects.

Yes. Accurate measured surveys are often a requirement for planning submissions, listed building consent, and conservation projects. They provide baseline drawings that architects and conservation officers rely on.

• A measured building survey records the internal and external features of a building.

• A topographical survey maps the external land, boundaries, and features of a site.

Many projects require both, which AMS Surveys can provide.
