Step-by-Step Guide to Measured Building Surveys
When tackling both small or big projects with renovations, extensions, and construction, the key is to get the right measurements of your building. Blackacre Surveyors can help to define this for you. Detailed Measured Building Surveys is the only way to get the most accurate results and help you make better decisions. Our surveys can help you better understand your building and identify complications ahead of time. A good measurement prevents you from facing issues during construction and renovations.
What Is a Measured Building Survey?
A Measured Building Survey is a highly accurate, detailed survey plan that sets out the entire structure and layout of your building. We gather this information using the most advanced equipment available, such as 3D laser scanning, photogrammetry, and 3D imaging lasers, to carefully and accurately document your house, from floor plans and elevations to cross-sections, concealed structures, and more, to create detailed digital models that are used for the creation of renovation or development plans.
Why Choose Blackacre Surveyors?
Suppose you are an architect/developer/owner of a property. In that case, Blackacre ensures that you derive maximum value from our use of systematic and objective methods to provide concise and meaningful reports for your project planning, avoiding costly mistakes and ensuring that your building conforms to all codes.
Our Detailed Measured Building Survey Process
First consultation: We start with an introductory conversation about the scope of the project you have in mind, and we inquire about your specific needs and requirements to realise your project and attain your goals. We determine the core issues that would complete your story.
On-Site Inspection: We use laser scanning and photogrammetry to assess the structure in detail and document its parts, elements, and relations, including complex features during an on-site inspection.
Data collection: Using high-precision measuring tools (e.g., 3D laser scanners), we collect credits for millions of points in GeoBIM. Credits are assigned based on location (x, y) and description (what’s represented by the point, i.e., but not limited to pavement, wall, supermarket, bridge, bench, trimester, etc.).
Data processing: This data is captured by our equipment and processed by our special engineering software and 3D imaging tools.
Complete Reporting: You get full reports with CAD files, which are available and easy to read at any time for every project detail.
Advanced Tools We Use for Measured Building Surveys
Blackacre Surveyors uses technology to provide accuracy and efficiency in every survey:
3D Laser Scanners: Capture highly accurate measurements and detailed representations of complex structures.
Drones: Drones are the way to go to get an aerial angle or survey something high up, like a rooftop or tall building. Aerial Drone Surveys are an essential part of our process.
Total Stations & Traditional Tools: For measuring big rooms with multiple sensors working on a gyro-type sounding, traditional Tools require manual accuracy for measurements involving small spaces and fine details.
These detailed tools will deliver robust, coordinated information to allow for a smooth, efficient planning and execution process.
