A measured building survey gives you accurate plans, sections and elevations of an existing building; an as-built survey records what was actually constructed. Based in Lymington with an office in London, we survey across Hampshire, Dorset and nationwide.
We produce both from Leica RTC360 laser scans, so every dimension traces back to a point cloud you can check.
We scan the whole building inside and out, then draw from the point cloud. Because the cloud records every surface, drawings are complete and can be re-measured later without a return visit.
Used for planning applications, lease plans, refurbishment and extension design, fit-out tenders, dilapidations and party wall work.
We scan at the stages that matter (slab, frame, pre-cover-up, completion), compare the point cloud against the design model and report deviations with colour-coded heat maps and tables. As project managers and contract administrators ourselves, we know which deviations affect the next trade, the payment certificate or the handover file.
Outputs: deviation report, as-built point cloud, updated Revit or IFC model where required.
A single building is usually captured in a day. Registration and QA follow within 48 hours. Drawings typically take 5 to 10 working days from capture. We quote per project; send us the address, the areas and what the survey is for and we will quote within one working day.
A measured building survey records the building itself: plans, sections and elevations. A topographical survey records the land around it: levels, boundaries, trees and services. We provide both, the latter by drone photogrammetry.
Planning drawings must show the existing building accurately. A laser-scanned survey gives your architect true geometry, which avoids corrections after validation and disputes with neighbours over heights and distances.
Registered point clouds are typically within 2 to 5 mm; drawings are produced to the tolerance we agree with you, usually 10 mm for building surveys. The point cloud is supplied so any dimension can be checked.
Yes. Scanning is non-contact and quiet. We plan stations to avoid people in the data and can work out of hours.
We quote per project based on floor area, complexity, the outputs you need and access. Send the address and a short brief and we will quote within one working day.
