ABOUT MEASURED BUILDING SURVEYS FOR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY

Commercial properties often need more than a basic floor plan. A refurbishment team may require ceiling information and structural grids, an asset manager may need repeatable plans across many sites, while a developer may need a complete CAD or BIM base for change of use. AMS Surveys defines the survey around that requirement and can also combine the measured work with Commercial Building Surveys, Schedules of Condition, defect investigations and project management. This provides a useful one-roof option where the geometry and condition of the building both matter.
