Building survey

Measured Building Surveys

Floor plans, sections and elevations of existing buildings, drawn accurately from laser scan data.

At a glance

  • Trimble X7 & TX6 laser scanners
  • Floor plans, sections, elevations
  • Point clouds & 3D models
  • Roof detail by drone

Accurate, even when the building isn't square

Buildings – especially historic ones – are rarely regular. Years of alterations and mixed materials mean nothing lines up. We measure what is really there using:

  • 3D laser scanners (Trimble X7 and TX6) for dense, accurate measurement
  • Reflectorless total stations for hard-to-reach detail
  • Disto and tape where hand measurement is the right tool

Roofs and high-level detail

Drones and long-range instruments let us record roofs, chimneys and trusses safely, wherever there is a clear line of sight.

What you receive

  • Floor plans and sections
  • Accurate elevations
  • Point clouds
  • 3D models

Who uses them

  • Architects – existing plans to design from
  • Engineers – measurements for structural analysis
  • Planners and developers
  • Contractors – refurbishment and fit-out
