AREA MEASUREMENT SURVEYS
Area Measurement Surveys provide dependable floor-area information for commercial property, leasing, asset management and development decisions. AMS Surveys can prepare measured plans and area schedules from current building data, with the measurement basis agreed in advance to suit the client's purpose. Where required, area measurement can form part of a wider measured building survey so the same site capture also supports plans, lease documentation or future design work.

TYPICAL PROJECTS AND APPLICATIONS
Area Measurement Surveys are commonly commissioned for projects such as:
Commercial leasing and property management
Acquisition and disposal due diligence
Asset and portfolio records
Space planning and occupancy reviews
Development appraisal and feasibility work
Projects requiring measured floor areas alongside CAD plans
For a broader existing-building package, see Measured Building Surveys. Related AMS Surveys services can be coordinated where the project also requires design, condition or heritage input.
COMMON OUTPUTS PROVIDED
Depending on the agreed scope, AMS Surveys can provide:
Measured floor plans
Area schedules based on the agreed measurement basis
GIA, NIA or other project-specific area figures where appropriate to the instruction
CAD and PDF drawings showing measured extents
Room or zone schedules where agreed
Supporting measured survey data for future design or asset use

MEASURED BUILDING SURVEY FAQs
Q: What is a measured building survey?
A: A measured building survey provides accurate drawings of an existing property, supporting planning, refurbishment, retrofit and redevelopment work.
Q: Do you work with heritage and listed buildings?
A: Yes, we regularly survey historic and heritage assets, producing elevations and sections suitable for conservation-led projects.
Q: What formats do you provide?
A: Survey drawings are typically issued as PDF and CAD-ready files, tailored to the design team’s requirements.
Q: Is this suitable for commercial buildings?
A: Yes, our measured surveys are commonly commissioned for offices, retail units, industrial buildings and mixed-use developments.
ABOUT AREA MEASUREMENT SURVEYS
Area measurement depends on the purpose of the instruction and the measurement convention being applied. A figure used for design, leasing, valuation or asset management may not be derived in the same way. The survey brief therefore needs to define what is being measured and how the result will be reported. AMS Surveys can combine current measured building data with clear annotated plans so clients can understand the basis of the calculation rather than relying on an unexplained area figure from historic records.
