Our built environment surveys give developers, owners and managers accurate data on the buildings and land they work with. We cover offices, housing, shops, leisure venues, industrial sites, science parks and data centres.
Work tends to come to us in one of two ways. Developers need surveys to plan, design and unlock new schemes. Owners and facilities teams need surveys to run, refit and look after the buildings they already have. Either way, two things matter most: speed, and working around a building that’s still in use.
Built environment surveys planned around occupied buildings
Most of the buildings we survey are open for business. So we plan around your tenants, staff and customers. That can mean out-of-hours visits, phased access or scanning one floor at a time. You get the data you need without emptying the building.

Built Environment FAQ’s
A built environment survey records the buildings, land and services on a site. It can include measured building surveys, topographic surveys, utility surveys and 3D laser scanning. Developers use the data to plan and design. Owners use it to refit, manage and maintain their buildings.
Yes. Most of our built environment work is in occupied buildings. We plan visits around tenants, staff and customers, and can work out of hours or in phases. Laser scanning is quick on site, which keeps disruption low.
Most schemes start with a topographic survey and an underground utility survey. If there are buildings on site, a measured building survey is usually needed too. Together they give your design team an accurate base plan and flag risks early.
Yes. We have offices across the UK, with our Head Office in Solihull. Local teams mean faster mobilisation and lower travel costs on your project.
