Measured building & Laser scanning expert

A measured building survey is an important part of any building project. To ensure the accuracy our measured building surveys are carried out using advanced technology, including laser scanners and Total Stations. It shows the floor plans, sections,  external elevations and if required internal elevations of a structure or building. which helps to ensure that the construction process goes smoothly and efficiently.

They are done for verification purposes, planning for structural redevelopment and refurbishment. The survey also helps identify any potential problems or issues that could cause delays or additional costs. With a measured building survey, you can rest assured that you are getting a detailed overview of your building’s structure, layout, and condition.

There are 3  main reasons why a measured survey is vital. Firstly, provides a detailed understanding of the site conditions, which is necessary for accurate planning and execution of the project. Secondly, it helps to identify potential risks and hazards that may otherwise go unnoticed. Measured surveys are also used to create digital plans and drawings that can be used as reference throughout the construction process. With a measured survey, you can make sure that your construction project is completed safely, efficiently and cost-effectively.

The cost of a measured survey can vary greatly, depending on several factors, including the size and complexity of the building, the type of survey required and the location of the property. However, in general, typical 2 or 3 bedroom will cost around £1,500 including final drawings. For larger and or complex project the cost can be higher. For example, one of our recent project had 10 small flats and cost around £5,000.
