What is a Measured Building Survey?

Measured surveys provide accurate, detailed representations of existing buildings, sites, or structures.

Using advanced technologies like laser scanning and traditional survey methods, these surveys capture precise dimensions and spatial data.

They are essential for architects, engineers, property managers and property developers for planning, maintenance, renovations, and documentation.

The Benefits of a Measured Survey

  • Gain Highly Accurate Drawings
    Measured surveys deliver precise drawings and measurements, forming a dependable foundation for design, planning, refurbishment, or compliance work. This accuracy reduces errors and rework later in the project.
  • Enhanced Facilities Management and Stakeholder Collaboration
    Share scan data easily with FM teams and contractors, cutting down site visits and speeding up maintenance decisions.
  • Cost and Time Efficiency
    By providing a clear understanding of the building’s layout and dimensions from the outset, measured surveys help avoid costly mistakes, delays, and scope changes during construction or renovation.
  • Smart Asset Tagging
    Tag equipment and spaces with key info like condition, serial numbers, and service dates—making tracking simple.
  • Supports Planning and Compliance
    Accurate survey data is essential for meeting local authority planning requirements, building regulations, and health and safety standards—helping ensure your project stays compliant.
  • Supports Remote Fault-Finding
    Use scans during video calls to assess issues before sending FM teams—saving time and preventing unnecessary visits.
