How Our Measured Building Surveys Work
We follow a precise and proven building survey methodology. Beginning with a detailed on-site assessment. Using cutting-edge laser scanning, total stations, and GPS tools, we capture spatial data with unmatched precision. The property’s precise 2D floor plans and 3D models are then produced using this data, and they can be used for a number of purposes.
Once collected, the data is processed using industry-standard software and aligned with the RICS measured building survey specification. We provide deliverables that include 2D floor plans, elevations, roof plans, sections, reflected ceiling plans, or 3D BIM Models (available on request). Our team works together with contractors, architects, and other stakeholders to make sure our drawings are completely compliant and ready for the project.
