What is the measured survey
A measured building survey is required for a home extension, loft conversion, refurbishment or redevelopment of a property. The point of the survey is to enable us to produce an accurate representation of your property in its current form. This will include floor plans, elevations and cross sections. Structural elements such as walls and columns will be shown, so will architectural features for example the location of windows and doors. The accuracy of the plans is important in order to be compliant with building regulations.
Our surveying team use a combination of tools and resources in order to achieve a high standard. You are likely to see our team member use a laser measuring device, a tape measure and an iPad or iPhone to take photos of the property and surrounding area.
Your floor plans will be produced in AutoCAD in 2D as standard, we can also produce 3D representations for you if requested. The scale of the drawings will be compliant with your local authorities with panning department and building regulations.
