Measured building surveys provide an accurate understanding of a building’s structure and can be incredibly useful in various industries. Here’s where measured building surveys are typically used:
- Architecture and Design
- Construction
- Engineering
- Surveying and Property
- Heritage and Conservation

Elevations and Street Scenes
With skilled CAD teams, we can extract information and data from the point cloud. With this, we use the latest methods to assess internal and external elevations and produce final plans.
Floor
Plans
We can accurately assess buildings and produce 2D internal floor plans directly modelled from the point cloud. With tailored support, you can keep your project up to date.
3D or 2D
Sections
Some consultations may require a more in-depth look at structural and architectural elements. In these cases, we can extract 3D or 2D sections from the point cloud data.

Answering Building Measured Survey Questions
What is a measured building survey?
A measured building survey is a detailed survey that accurately records the layout, dimensions and features of a building. It is used to produce drawings such as floor plans, elevations and sections that show the building as it exists today. These surveys provide a reliable base for design, planning, refurbishment or redevelopment projects.
When do I need a measured building survey?
You typically need a measured building survey if you are:
- Planning an extension or refurbishment
- Submitting a planning or building control application
- Producing architectural or structural designs
- Buying or redeveloping a commercial property
Accurate survey information helps designers, planners and engineers avoid costly errors later in the project.
What drawings can be produced from a measured building survey?
Depending on your requirements, a measured building survey can produce:
- Existing floor plans
- Elevations
- Sections
- Roof plans
- Site plans
These drawings can be supplied in formats suitable for architects, designers and planning submissions.
How accurate is a measured building survey?
Measured building surveys are carried out using professional surveying equipment to achieve a high level of accuracy. The accuracy is suitable for architectural design, planning applications and construction purposes. The level of detail can be tailored depending on how the drawings will be used.
Do I need access to the entire building for the survey?
Yes. Full access to all areas of the building is important to ensure the survey is complete and accurate. This includes internal rooms, stairwells, basements and roof spaces where required. If any areas are inaccessible, this will be noted and can affect the final drawings.
