Measured Building Surveys
Overview

What it is

A measured building survey produces an accurate, scaled record of a building’s geometry, internally and externally. Using laser scanning and precise measurement, we deliver floor plans, elevations, sections and reflected ceiling plans drawn to your specification.

It removes guesswork from design and gives every consultant a single, trustworthy basis to work from.
