What projects can benefit from a Measured Building Survey?

Measured Building Surveys are essential for a wide range of projects in architecture, engineering, and construction. They are particularly beneficial for:

  • Refurbishments and Renovations: Accurate surveys ensure that existing structures are well understood, enabling efficient planning and reducing risks during renovation.
  • New Build Projects: Precise measurements provide a clear foundation for architectural and structural design, ensuring compatibility with the existing environment.
  • Historic Buildings and Conservation: Detailed surveys of historic structures support conservation efforts, helping to preserve architectural integrity while meeting modern standards.
  • Change of Use or Conversion: When repurposing a building, having reliable data on the layout and structure aids in redesigning spaces effectively.
  • Extensions and Alterations: Measured surveys provide critical baseline data to ensure that extensions or modifications align with the existing building and meet building regulations.
  • Facilities Management and Asset Management: Accurate surveys help maintain building records and optimise space planning, maintenance schedules, and asset tracking.

A Measured Building Survey gives you the confidence to proceed with your project, knowing that every detail is captured with precision.

What is a Measured Building Survey?

A Measured Building Survey is a detailed and accurate representation of a building’s physical features, structure, and layout. It captures everything from walls, doors, and windows to structural elements, fixtures, and architectural details. Using advanced technologies like 3D laser scanning, Surveybase produces precise 2D drawings and 3D models that support design, planning, refurbishment, and asset management. By delivering a data-rich, precise Measured Building Survey, professionals in architecture, engineering, and construction can visualise and analyse building elements with greater accuracy, enhancing decision-making and improving project outcomes.

Three-Tier Survey Options

LEVEL ONE – BASIC SURVEY
Level one offers a fundamental survey focused on the building's structural geometry. It captures essential data such as walls, windows, doors, columns, and stairs. This information is provided in 2D floor plans, elevations, and sections. A Level 1 Survey is ideal for decorative refurbishments, layout planning, and property marketing. It can also be combined with our Area Measurement service as part of the legal conveyance pack.

Frequently asked questions

We carry out Measured Building Surveys using advanced laser scanning and surveying technology. This allows us to capture millions of precise data points quickly and accurately. Our team scans both the interior and exterior of the building to create a complete digital record. From this, we produce detailed floor plans, elevations, sections, or 3D models.

You may need a Measured Building Survey if you’re planning renovations, restorations, or new construction on an existing building, or if you require accurate measurements for planning, design, or compliance with regulations.

The cost of a Measured Building Survey can vary depending on factors such as the size and complexity of the building, location, and the level of detail required. For an accurate, no-obligation quote, feel free to get in touch with us.
