Measured Building Survey
Providing a comprehensive range of measured building survey services ensures we can select the right approach for each individual project – and to achieve the data you need.
Whether it’s floor plans, sections, structural details or area measuring, we survey each element of the property, either independently or as part of a fully-connected co-ordinated brief. Where appropriate, building surveys can also be carried out in conjunction with topographical or underground surveys.
Recently we have seen an increase in requests for surveying flat roof structures constructed from Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) planks, primarily at a number of hospitals across the UK as well as schemes in other sectors.
Across our measured building surveys, we use the latest survey technology including drones where we need to capture large amounts of data, with minimal interference and often in inaccessible places. We also use 3D laser scanning to deliver high definition output quickly and accurately including point clouds and Revit models. 3D photographic records using state-of-the-art imaging are also available to complement technical drawings and data.

Measured Building Survey FAQ’s
A measured building survey captures accurate internal and external building geometry to support design, refurbishment, compliance and asset records.
Measured building survey costs depend on the size and complexity of the building, the outputs you need, and practical factors like access, occupancy and the number of levels/rooms. The quickest way to price accurately is to share the building address, what you need the survey for, your required deliverables, and any access constraint. From there we can scope it and provide a fixed quote.
Common deliverables include floor plans, elevations, sections, structural details and area measuring provided to suit your design workflow.
Timescales on a measured building survey vary based on building size, access, and the level of detail or output required. Site work can often be completed quickly once access is arranged, but the overall turnaround also includes processing and producing drawings and models. If you share the address, scope, deliverables, and your deadline, we can confirm a realistic site date and delivery timeline.
