What Is a Measured Survey?
If you’re beginning a project, such as building an extension or making internal alterations, or purchasing a new property and need accurate measurements and floorplans, then you need a measured survey, especially if this project requires planning consent or building regulations approval. A measured survey will record any existing measurements of your property, which are then turned into a set of CAD drawings, which creates either a 2D or 3D to-scale digitised model of your house to help with proposed designs.
Measured surveys can vary in the level of detail that is included, depending on your construction project. Surveys can include floor plans, roof plans, elevations and a site plan. More complex measured surveys may include elements such as plumbing, electrical plans and any other precise measurements that may be needed for your desired designs.
Having a measured survey completed gives you peace of mind about the future construction of your property and helps avoid problems and expenses further down the line. At Fourth Wall, our experienced chartered surveyors work with you to provide an accurate, professional survey to give you a full overview of the size and layout of your property. We work with you and your property to ensure that your project runs as smoothly as possible.
What Does a Measured Survey Include?
