FLOOR PLAN SURVEYS
Floor Plan Surveys provide accurate drawings of the existing internal layout of a building. AMS Surveys measures walls, partitions, openings, stairs, principal fixtures and other agreed features to produce CAD-ready floor plans for architects, developers, landlords, estate teams and property owners. Depending on the building and required accuracy, capture may use 3D laser scanning, total station equipment and targeted hand measurement.

TYPICAL PROJECTS AND APPLICATIONS
Floor Plan Surveys are commonly commissioned for projects such as:
Architectural design and space planning
Planning applications for extensions, conversion or change of use
Commercial fit-outs and workplace redesign
Lease, asset and estate records
Heritage properties where existing plans are inaccurate or unavailable
Property portfolios requiring a consistent drawing standard across multiple buildings
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:
Existing floor plans in DWG format
PDF floor plans at an agreed scale
Room names, levels and dimensions where specified
Wall thicknesses, door and window openings, stairs and principal structural elements
Area schedules where separately agreed
Point cloud or Revit outputs where the floor plan forms part of a wider measured survey

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 FLOOR PLAN SURVEYS
A professional floor plan survey is more than an estate-agent style layout. The drawing is prepared to support technical work and must be scoped around the intended use. Designers may need wall thicknesses, structural columns, floor levels, window positions or ceiling information that would not appear on a marketing floor plan. AMS Surveys establishes the drawing requirements before site work so the resulting plan provides the level of information required without unnecessary detail or cost.
