Anne Owen, Anne Owen Architects
"I have worked with XP Surveys on about a dozen projects over the last couple of years. I was looking for an independent survey company to provide more accurate surveys and free my time for design work. I selected XP because of their architectural background and this has proved to be a great benefit to our partnership. In particular, the consultation service allows to us to have an informed conversation so that they can tailor...

We've worked with XP Surveys on numerous projects, and each time their service has been fast, reliable, and their topographical and measured building surveys have always been highly accurate for our team to deliver projects. On a particular project, XP Surveys provided a highly accurate topographical drawing, which was vital as the existing property was on uneven landscape. Without a detailed and easy to read topographical and measured building survey, our team would have found...

FAQs
What are measured surveys?
A measured building survey is a process which involves taking the exact measurements of buildings and sites. Our measured surveys are carried out using equipment accurate to +/- 2mm. The results of measured surveys are represented through drawings which can be used as submissions for estate agent plans, architectural drawings, planning permission and lease plans.
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 one full day on site for properties up to five bedrooms. Properties of five bedrooms or more will take at least one day.
How much does a measured building survey cost?
The price will vary depending on the size of the property. Get an instant quote above.
What is a topographical study?
A topographical survey, or topo survey, is a way to identify and map the features of the terrain in an outdoor area. This type of survey shows how the land is now and how it will look once construction is completed.
Building projects have deadlines to meet and involve a complex network of stakeholders and organisations, including architects, council planning departments, construction companies, and clients.
Good quality service aspects like turning up for the survey at the agreed date and time are an important consideration when selecting a firm to conduct a topo survey in Berkshire for you.
What is 3D point cloud?
Where beneficial we use point cloud equipment 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 laser measurement and 3D point cloud technology, we produce 2D floor plans, elevations and sections, which are used to keep a record of newly built properties. Being based on a Measured Survey, as-built drawings accurately record the finished building project, which may have differed from the architect’s original plan drawings.
How can 360 imagery help me with my project?
360 imagery puts a virtual site tour within your reach at any time. We capture 360-degree images using our top-of-the-line scanning equipment. The 360-degree images save you time and resources as you can visit the site virtually wherever you are. This helps remote teams collaborate on a project, or be used to market property online.
