If you need a measured building survey or even several measured building surveys or a measured building surveyor, you have come to the right place. If time is of the essence, or clients time constraints are limited on site, we can accomodate you. (Measured survey examples)
Whether your survey project is large or small, a single house plan of a few square metres up to thousands of square metres or several house plans. building plans or 'As Built' plans, we can meet your requirements. We have vast experience of Measured Building Surveys, floor plans and elevational drawings, everything from private homes and domestic premises, apartment blocks, and flats, to churches, ecclesiastical buildings, embassies, supermarkets and shopping malls and have carried out measured survey programmes and topographical surveys encompassing hundreds of properties. A schedule can be drawn up to suit you!
We carry out the Measured Building Surveys ourselves 'in house', wherever possible, however, because we deal day in day out with hundreds of surveyors Worldwide using the Sitemaster Building range of software we have built up a large network of surveyors who can be called on to help us out if we are unable to do the work ourselves due to current workloads.
We are able to carry out a measured survey anywhere in the UK, Western Europe, most of Eastern Europe, the USA Canada and Australia. and we pride ourselves on our excellent reputation for quality, customer service and value for money.
We can provide Floor plans or as builtplans Fast CAD Drawings with varying levels of detail - from simple walls, columns, doors and window surveys, to a fully detailed data set including all 3D information (sill & head heights, stair riser and going details, door heights, ceiling heights, beam details etc.). As part of our measured surveys, the surveyors can also pick up and highlight other information such as any electrical and data points, sanitary fittings, incoming mains positions, plant, fire fighting and detection equipment, security equipment and signage.
Measured Drawings Check
Many times, plans exist but their accuracy is in doubt or change management has been poor, we can carry out a check survey, this can be a very cost effective way to bring the existing plans up to date.
From yours or your clients existing drawings, we are able to compare distances on the drawing with dimensions taken on site and produce a report indicating where any inaccuracies lie. Mobile CAD Surveying / Measured Building Surveys.net can report on percentage variation between existing drawing and situation on the ground as well as any changes in the buildings layout.
A good CAD drawing, deriving from a good survey, will be put to a host of other uses and as such, will become a valuable commodity that pays for itself in no time.
Tablet PC & Laser Measure - Greater Accuracy
Survey Methodology
Surveys are conducted using a hand-held Laser Measure (Leica Disto A6 and the new Leica Disto D8 and Leica Disto D3aBT or Hilti PD38) coupled via ‘Bluetooth’ technology to a hand-held microcomputer (Samsung Q1 ULTRA, Viliv X70 EX, HTC Flint XDA or the latest Archos 9). This approach, which produces the CAD drawing during the survey process, allows us to establish and accurately check all building dimensions while on site. Significant improvements in survey quality are gained using this equipment when compared with traditional survey methods. A precision of ± 5mm over 100 metres is achievable with this equipment - giving a normal working accuracy of ± 25mm between any two points after building tolerances have been taken into account. Significant improvements in survey quality are gained using this equipment when compared with traditional survey methods. Gone are the days where two men would hold a sagging tape measure from one end of the room to the other, that old method is history! There are NO more return visits to site due to blunt pencils and inaccurate paper documentation, NO guesswork, NO wrong data documentation NO sagging tape measures.
Our Measured Building Surveys typically include the following elements (but can include anything the customer requires):-
Floor Plans - Domestic, Houses, Apartments
Typical Measured Building Survey Includes:-
Any structural or partition walls
Doors and windows, window reveals inc. all openings
Stairs and lift shafts
Sanitary fittings will be indicated but not measured
Spot heights
Typical Level/Height Information
The following levels, heights or vertical dimensions will be provided:
Ceiling heights above floor
Archway heights above floor
Windows – internal cill and head heights above floor
Heights of doors above floor and threshold levels at external doors, based upon topographical information if supplied.
We can also provide a full set of digital photographs, these can also be inserted into the drawings if required.
Elevational Drawings
Typical Elevational Survey Includes: Survey of the elevations as indicated.
External details that shall be surveyed and heights generally will have been instrumentally derived to produce Elevational Drawings and include:-
Outline of building and roofs
Rainwater pipes and gutters
Ground levels and steps
Doors, windows, ventilation grilles, roof lights, other openings etc..
Include mullions and transoms to windows (except for “leaded” lights) and features such as projecting cill, splayed heads and reveals, stone or other quoins, special detail features at openings etc.
Include door frames and door panelling, glazing etc, where appropriate
String courses (projecting or flush) copings etc
Chimney stacks, finials etc with string courses, features etc
A complete list of Qualifications and Limitations will be provided with each quotation.
Topographical Surveys
Full Topographical Surveys
Topographical Survey of the site can include items such as:-
Location of outbuildings, boundaries, levels of garden areas, boundaries, fences, walls, garden layouts including dwarf walls etc, main trees and shrubs, manhole covers, invert levels, ridge heights of property including adjacent properties, (if necessary) location of permanent garden features ie. patios etc driveways, slab levels, intermediary levels (levels can be taken locally and/or to OS Datums)
We can also provide other additional land surveying services that you may require eg. underground services tracing (Underground Penetrating Radar) and 3D laser scanning enable us to provide you with a one-stop-shop for your surveying requirements.
Photogrammetry
Photogrammetry, the practice of obtaining information about physical objects through the process of recording, measuring, and interpreting photographic images. It is most commonly associated with the production of topographic maps through aerial survey, although in recent years it has been increasingly used in such diverse applications as architecture, archaeology, engineering, geology, underwater, and forensic work amongst others. In fact it may be used in any situation that requires the generation of accurate three-dimensional data or precise drawings, and is ideally suited to the survey and measurement of buildings and monuments.
So, for Floor Plans, Measured Building Surveys, As Built Plans, Elevational Drawings, Licensing Plans, Lease Plans, Land Registry Compliant drawings, fast CAD drawings, topographical surveys and many more purposes, if you need surveys and you need them fast and accurate, then we can deliver.
