Before we commence any measured building survey, it's crucial to understand your unique needs and the specific challenges of the site in question. This initial consultation allows us to gather insights into what you're aiming to achieve, any concerns you might have, and the characteristics of the building or site. It's an opportunity for open dialogue, ensuring our services align perfectly with your expectations.
Equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and a wealth of experience, our team will then conduct a thorough visit to the site. This isn't just about measurements; it's about understanding the environment, the context, and any potential challenges that might arise during the survey. Every corner, every nook, and every cranny is inspected to ensure comprehensive data collection.
After collecting raw data from the site measured building survey, it's time to turn this into actionable insights. Using cutting-edge software tools, we meticulously process the data, ensuring every measurement is accurate, and every detail is captured. This phase ensures the information is presented in a format that's easy to understand and is tailored to your specific needs.
Once the data is processed and reviewed for quality, we prepare the final deliverables. This could include detailed drawings, comprehensive floor plans, elevations, cross-sections, or any specific document you require. Our goal is to provide you with clear, concise, and accurate representations of the site, ensuring you have everything you need for your next steps, whether that's construction, renovation, or record-keeping.

Our floor plans don’t just depict layouts; they encapsulate the very essence of a building’s structure.

Elevation or facade surveys, be it for a regular building or a unique structure like a bridge, capture every nuance.

Our high-definition laser scanning is perfect for capturing vast volumes of 3D data swiftly. It’s a tool we’ve found indispensable for historic sites and modern buildings alike. But its utility isn’t limited to just buildings; from highway projects to tunnelling tasks or hazardous sites, laser scanning proves invaluable.
Over the years, our portfolio has grown to include prestigious projects such as Tabley House in Cheshire and the Royal Veterinary College in Hertfordshire. Yet, our commitment remains steadfast, whether we’re working on grand historic structures or everyday residential and commercial units.
