Measured Building Surveys provide accurate and detailed plans of a building's layout and structure, which can then be used for design and refitting purposes. A typical survey would show all structural features including walls, windows, doors, beams, floor and ceiling heights.

The level of detail provided is only restricted by the amount the client wishes to incorporate, but a typical project might include the measurement and plotting of all natural and man-made features, contour details, sewer culvert and manhole locations, with the inclusion, for example of volumation or land area calculations if required. We have approximately 15 in-house survey crews which are capable in carrying out all forms of surveys, including levelling, topographical surveys, dimensional control, pipe line surveys and rail infrastructure surveys.

read moreOur in-house knowledge and experience encompass a broad range of surveying disciplines; topographic survey, internal and exterior measured building surveys, structural monitoring, underground service tracing, GPS, and arboricultural surveying are also available. Projects can be as simple or as complex as our clients determine or the nature of the site demands. In some instances it may be advantageous to combine more than one surveying discipline within a single project. Our primary tool for data capture is Electronic Distance Measurement (EDM) technology in the form of standard or reflectorless Total Stations.
