What is a measured survey?
A measured survey is a process which involves taking the exact measurements of buildings and sites. We offer measured building surveys using equipment accurate to +/- 2mm. The results of these measured surveys are represented through drawings which can be referred to throughout the lifecycle of a building.
How long does a measured survey take?
A measured survey can be booked within 48 hours of getting in touch with us (subject to availability). We require 1 full day for properties up to 5 bedrooms. Properties of 5 bedrooms or more will take at least 1 day.
How much does a measured survey cost?
The price will vary depending on the size of the property, location and level of survey required. You can quickly get a quote for your exact needs by using our Instant Online quote tool at the top of this page.
What is a 3D point cloud?
Point cloud equipment is used to scan and measure every single point of your building or site to create pinpoint accurate 3D models. We use the latest high-tech, high-spec equipment to ensure accuracy each time.
What are as-built 2D drawings?
Using 3D point cloud technology, we produce 2D floor plans, elevations and sections based on the real-life measurements taken during the as-built survey.
As-builts are useful as a reference for property owners, and occupiers, and for architects drawing up re-modelling construction plans.
How can 360° imagery help me with my project?
360° imagery puts a virtual site tour within your reach at all times. We capture 360-degree images using our top-of-the-line scanning equipment. 360° images save you time and resources, as you can visit the site whenever you need without travelling.
What locations do you cover?
Our team typically do measured site surveys across Greater London and the Home Counties, including Surrey, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Berkshire, however we can cover a national geographic reach.
Where can I see your prices list?
Please use our instant quote feature to receive a tailored quote based on your location, size of development and service required.

What Architects & Property Developers Need From A Measured Survey
In the world of architecture planning and property development, precision and accuracy at the survey stage are paramount. Before any construction plans or renovation concepts can take shape, architects and developers require detailed information about the existing structures and surroundings. So too will the local planning department need to see ‘as-is’ and proposed development drawings […]

Point Cloud Laser Scan to ArchiCAD
As every ArchiCAD user knows, it’s a great program for 2D and 3D architects’ work as it brings together technical and aesthetics into one model and uses the ever-more popular BIM (Building Information Modelling) framework. Unlike most other architectural design software, the ArchiCAD program was built for architecture from the start, rather than being an […]
Measured Survey Topo Survey
We will survey all accessible floors in the property and provide plans showing all visible walls, windows, doors, spot height levels, ceiling/roof heights, window sill/head heights.
We will survey all accessible and visible sides of the property and provide elevation drawings showing the building outline, ridge/eaves heights, all external distinguishing elements such as windows, doors, rainwater pipes and other detailing. We will also include the outline of buildings within 3m of the host building.
Provided where our equipment has full visibility of the roof lines from ground level, we will note any estimated roof details on our drawings.
These are 'cut-through' cross-sectional drawings showing wall and floor details.
Select a topographical survey level to find out more.
Will include the visible boundary outline only together with immediate ground levels around any buildings, and visible drainage cover location/levels.
This topo will include the visible boundary outline, all key features and immediate ground levels within 3m of any buildings, and visible drainage cover location/levels.
Will include boundaries (including type and heights), building OUTLINES, adjoining buildings, trees, hardstanding, walls, fences, hedges, flowerbeds, kerblines, verges, manhole / service covers (including cover level), etc. plus all other visible salient features of the area.
We use Area data from your property's EPC certificate and the UK Ordnance Survey database to calculate your quote estimate. If there is not enough data in the UK database we cannot provide an instant quote, but one of our team will be able to provide a formal written quote by email within 48 working hours. If the database holds incorrect data on your property you will still be provided an estimate, but our fee is subject to change to suit the actual size of your property
