Measured Building Surveys

What are Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS)?

Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) are innovative and environmentally-friendly approaches to managing surface water runoff from development sites. SuDS aim to mimic natural water management processes, allowing rainwater to be stored, filtered, and slowly released into watercourses, reducing the risk of flooding, improving water quality, and promoting biodiversity. SuDS techniques include green roofs, permeable paving, rain gardens, and detention basins.

Why Do I Need Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS)?

If you are involved in a construction or development project, incorporating SuDS is essential to meet regulatory requirements, promote sustainability, and mitigate the impact of surface water runoff. SuDS can help you manage the quantity and quality of runoff effectively,

What is a Measured Building Survey?

A Measured Building Survey is a detailed survey that captures accurate measurements and data of the existing physical features and dimensions of a building. It involves the precise measurement and documentation of floor plans, elevations, sections, and other relevant architectural details. Measured Building Surveys provide essential information for refurbishments, renovations, space planning, and architectural design.

Why Do I Need a Measured Building Survey?

If you are involved in property development, architectural design, or building renovation projects, a Measured Building Survey is vital to obtain accurate and comprehensive information about the existing building. It helps architects, engineers, and project managers make informed decisions, ensure design compatibility, assess structural conditions, and plan for any necessary modifications or improvements.

When Can Measured Building Surveys Be Conducted?

Our skilled surveying team can conduct Measured Building Surveys at various stages of your project. Whether you require an initial survey for design and planning purposes or need an updated survey during the construction phase, we can provide you with precise and reliable measurements tailored to your project requirements.

Components of Measured Building Surveys

Our Measured Building Surveys include the following key components:

Detailed Floor Plans: We measure and document accurate floor plans that depict the layout, dimensions, and spatial arrangement of the building. This includes rooms, corridors, staircases, doorways, and any other architectural features.
Elevation Drawings: We capture precise measurements of the building's external facades, producing elevation drawings that show the vertical dimensions, fenestration, and architectural details of each side of the building.
Section Drawings: We create detailed section drawings that showcase the internal structure, including floor heights, ceiling heights, and other significant elements. These drawings provide valuable insights for understanding the building's internal layout and spatial relationships.
3D Laser Scanning (if applicable): Depending on the project requirements, we may employ 3D laser scanning technology to capture a highly accurate and detailed point cloud of the building. This data can be utilized for advanced 3D modeling, clash detection, and visualization purposes.
