Service overview

Measured building survey scope

Measured building surveys provide existing-building geometry for refurbishment, design coordination and property projects.

The survey brief can cover selected plans, elevations, building outlines, levels and other agreed geometry depending on access and the required level of detail.

PlansMeasured floor or selected area plans to the agreed scope.
ElevationsExternal or selected building elevations where commissioned.
Site coordinationRelate building geometry to surrounding topographical survey data where required.

Questions

Measured Building Surveys FAQ

What can a measured building survey include?

Depending on the brief, it can include selected floor plans, external elevations, building outlines, openings, levels and other measured geometry.

Can a measured building survey be combined with a topographical survey?

Yes. For redevelopment projects the building can be related to surrounding levels, boundaries, roads, access and other site features within one coordinated survey framework.
