Heritage

Comprehensive Surveying and Monitoring Services for Heritage Buildings

We offer comprehensive heritage building surveys to support the preservation, restoration, and adaptive reuse of historically significant structures. Our services ensure meticulous planning, structural integrity, and regulatory compliance, safeguarding the value and longevity of heritage assets while enabling modern use.

Engineering Surveys

We deliver detailed topographical, boundary, and structural data, enabling precise planning and design. This information ensures construction activities align with design specifications, minimising risks to historical features and supporting efficient restoration and maintenance projects.

Land Surveys

Topographical mapping identifies the terrain and surrounding context of heritage sites, helping to protect the environmental and historical landscape. These surveys ensure any development respects the site’s heritage and environmental significance.

Underground Utility Surveys

Utility mapping locates underground infrastructure like pipes, tunnels, and foundations, reducing risks of accidental damage during excavation. This data supports safe and efficient restoration and upgrades while preserving the historical context.

Structural Monitoring

We provide ongoing monitoring of structural elements to assess stability during and after restoration. Early detection of potential issues ensures timely interventions, mitigating risks to safety and the building’s integrity. Structural monitoring also supports long-term maintenance planning.

Environmental Monitoring

Our environmental surveys assess and minimise the ecological impact of restoration projects. By monitoring ecosystems and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations, we help preserve the surrounding environment while managing heritage assets sustainably.

Measured Building Surveys

Accurate records of building dimensions, layouts, and structural features are essential for planning restorations and upgrades. Our measured surveys provide data critical to maintaining historical accuracy while meeting modern safety standards.

Digital Twins and BIM Models

We use advanced digital technologies to create detailed 3D representations of heritage buildings. These models support the lifecycle of a project, from design and restoration to ongoing maintenance, ensuring seamless integration of all structural, utility, and environmental factors.

Certifications and Accreditations

Our services align with industry standards, including Historic England accreditation and ISO certifications for quality, environmental management, and health and safety. Compliance with BIM Level 2 standards ensures seamless integration with modern digital construction practices.

Our heritage building surveys offer the comprehensive insights required to restore and maintain historically significant properties while ensuring safety, regulatory compliance, and sustainability. These services are tailored to protect the value and integrity of heritage assets for generations to come.

How do heritage building surveys help preserve historical structures while meeting modern regulations?

These specialised surveys provide detailed data about the building’s dimensions, structural integrity, and surrounding environment, allowing restoration projects to be planned with precision. By understanding the existing condition of a heritage asset, surveyors can recommend solutions that safeguard its historical features while making it suitable for contemporary use.

Engineering surveys, such as structural monitoring, help identify potential risks and weaknesses in the building’s framework, ensuring that any restoration work does not compromise its stability. Similarly, measured building surveys provide accurate records of a site’s architectural details, which are essential for restoring intricate features and maintaining the asset’s authenticity. Tools like digital twins and BIM models enable project teams to visualise proposed changes and simulate outcomes, ensuring compliance with both preservation guidelines and modern safety standards.

Environmental and land surveys are equally important for assessing the building’s surroundings and ensuring that new developments do not adversely affect the site’s historical context. Underground utility surveys help avoid accidental damage to unseen services, maintaining the integrity of the building and its infrastructure.

By combining state-of-the-art technology with a deep understanding of heritage preservation, Survey Solutions ensures that every project respects the past while addressing the needs of the future.
