Measured Building Surveys

A measured survey refers to the process of measuring and producing drawings of a building. The process is typically undertaken before the start of a building project.

The objective of a measured survey is to accurately record and present a true representation of a building or parts of it. Measured surveys are usually represented as CAD (Computer-Aided Design) drawings.

A measured survey is important when beginning a construction project. Having a set of accurate, high-quality drawings of your project is important to ensure future designs are workable and unnecessary expenses are minimised.

Measured surveys are undertaken using a range of tools from simple tape measures to sophisticated 3D laser scanning devices. Once the survey team has undertaken the process of a measured survey, we process the data and produce a range of drawings for you. Typical drawing types include floor plans, elevations and sections drawings.

No two measured building surveys are the same. That’s because no two properties are identical and price can vary based on several factors including property size, layout complexity, number of drawing types requested and more.

When we receive a quotation request we use tools such as Google Streetview and Google Earth to gauge the expected complexity. We then issue a tailor-made quotation outlining our fixed price costs and suggested survey date.

As a customer service-driven business we believe every client deserves the best, so we do our best to offer you the most competitive quote. We work to the highest surveying and drawing standards which helps to build long-term relationships with our clients.

THS Concepts provides clients with measured surveys across the country and internationally.

We have worked as far away as Liberia in West Africa.

However, most of our work is undertaken in London and the South East. This includes counties such as Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent, Suffolk, Surrey and Sussex.

Our typical lead-in times for measured surveys are 5 – 15 working days (on average, we get to your site within 7 days of your initial enquiry).

Each job has a different turnaround time for completing drawings; a full set of measured survey drawings typically takes 3 – 6 working days, while some basic CAD draughting services can be turned around the same day.

If you are pushed for time then please let us know and we shall see what we can do for you!

At THS Concepts we provide our surveyors with a method statement on how the work should be undertaken combined with a risk assessment outlining potential dangers on-site and how these can be mitigated. If you need these supplied for your project then please let us know so as we can send before we arrive.

We fully understand the need to observe good health and safety practices for our staff and the people we work with. If requested we can provide full health and safety documentation for the work we undertake including method statements, risk assessments, COSHH etc.

We can produce a wide range of drawings based on your survey. These include:

Floor Plans
Sections
Elevations
Roof Plans
Site Plans
Internal Elevations
Reflected Ceiling Plans

We provide our drawings in multiple CAD formats including DXF. We also provide you with PDF drawings that can be easily opened using a PDF reader or printed.

If you need your drawings in any other format then please let us know.
