When Do You Need a Measured Building Survey?

Whether you’re developing land, renovating buildings, or running a property business, you need the most accurate information possible on the design and layout of a building. Our measured building surveys at Blackacre will give you the information you need to start every stage of your project with clarity and certainty. Through innovative technology and professionals, we get everything right so you receive the true full-colour picture you need for reasonable decision-making and planning. But when is the right time to do a measured building survey?

What Is A Measured Building Survey?

A measured building survey is a detailed survey service that captures every detail of a building’s size, frame, and material details. At Blackacre we provide accurate, scaled drawings or 3D representations using the best technology, such as laser scanners and total stations. Our surveys get all the key information, from walls and windows to service lines and construction details, depending on your project requirements. Deliverables could be floor plans, elevations, sections, and 3D digital models.

When You Should Get a Measured Building Survey

Renovations and Refurbishments

Are you planning a major renovation? Whether changing layouts or laying in new sections, you’ll want the measurements to be just right. Measured building surveys give architects and contractors granular data that helps ensure new features can easily be included and no costly design or construction mistakes are made. Because of our knowledge at Blackacre, you won’t fail to realise your dream with confidence.

Historic or Listed Properties

Preserving architectural details isn’t an option when working with historic or listed buildings. At Blackacre, our measured building surveys capture old buildings’ complexities and structural detail in detailed documentation that helps direct restoration without detracting from the building’s history. Such information is invaluable for sensitive renovations that balance modernity and conservation.

Pre-Construction Planning

In a new development phase, it’s important to know the exact location of the land and adjacent buildings to create proper design plans before building. Accurate measured building surveys give architects and builders starting points that allow them to comply with building codes and accessibility standards.

Legal and Compliance Documentation

If you’re moving house or buying or selling property, you need proper property records to prove everything is up to date. A measured building survey keeps recorded measurements accurate and current.

Facilities Management for Large Properties

In large industrial buildings, it’s important to know precisely what the space looks like and how it’s arranged to manage it effectively. We provide measured building surveys so property owners can optimise space, manage resources, and budget maintenance and refurbishments correctly.

Insurance and Risk Assessments

Insurance companies require coverage and premiums based on accurate building data. Measured building surveys tell insurers about a building’s design and stability so that they can determine risks. Since we catch problems before they become bigger problems, our surveys support preventative maintenance so that your property can continue to be a risk-free investment.
