What is a measured survey & 3d laser scanning?

A Measured Survey provides an in-depth examination of a building’s physical features through precise measurements and detailed data collection. This type of survey is a vital step in ensuring the accuracy of building designs, plans and renovations.

The survey covers both internal and external aspects of the property, capturing all structural elements such as walls, doors, windows, columns, beams, floor levels, and heights. Having an accurate representation of the building space to scale allows for better planning and decision-making throughout the design and construction process, avoiding potential issues such as increased costs and delays due to missing or inaccurate data.

Frequently asked questions

What is a measured building survey?
Why do I need a measured building survey?

A measured building survey is essential for several reasons. It provides a detailed understanding of your property’s dimensions, layout, and structural elements. This information is invaluable for architects, developers, housing associations and authorities as well as construction professionals during the planning and design stages of a project or simply for record purposes. It ensures accurate spatial representation, assists with obtaining necessary permits and approvals, and minimises the risk of errors or conflicts during construction. Additionally, a measured survey can be vital in resolving property-related disputes or providing accurate property records for insurance purposes.
How long does a measured building survey take?

The time required for a measured building survey varies depending on the specific characteristics of the property. Smaller buildings can often be surveyed within a day or half a day, while larger or more complex structures may take longer. Factors such as the size of the property, the number of floors, and the level of detail needed will impact the survey duration. However, our experienced team aims to complete surveys as efficiently as possible while maintaining accuracy, ensuring minimal disruption to your activities. Depending on the scale and complexity, digital CAD drawings are produced between 1-3weeks from the date of survey.
What is laser scanning, and how does it benefit the survey process?

Laser scanning is an advanced technology that revolutionises the surveying process. By emitting laser beams and measuring the time it takes for them to bounce back, laser scanners create highly accurate 3D representations of buildings. This method captures a vast amount of data in a short period, significantly reducing on-site survey time and minimising disruptions. Laser scanning enables us to capture intricate details, produce accurate models, and create comprehensive plans and drawings for your building.
Can I use the measured survey drawings for planning applications?

Absolutely. The detailed drawings and plans generated from a measured survey are commonly used in planning applications. They provide an accurate representation of the existing building, including its dimensions, layout, and structural elements. These drawings serve as vital documentation for architects, developers, and planning authorities, helping them understand the property. We will often carry these out at the start of a construction project to enable the concept and design stages to progress.
