Measured Building Surveys

At Dakat, we specialise in delivering precise measured building surveys . Our surveys capture accurate and detailed dimensions of a property to assist architects, engineers, and property managers in planning and development.

Using advanced equipment and techniques, we ensure every detail is meticulously recorded, offering clarity and confidence for any construction or renovation project. Reach out to us to schedule your measured building survey.

How Much Does a Measured Building Survey Cost?

A measured building survey typically costs between £500 to £1,500, depending on the property size and complexity. Our pricing is influenced by factors such as the total floor area, the number of floors, and specific client requirements.

We employ state-of-the-art surveying equipment like laser scanners and total stations to ensure precision. Additionally, we adhere to RICS standards to guarantee accuracy and consistency in our deliverables.

The survey may include detailed floor plans, elevations, and cross-sections, valuable for renovation or extension projects. Timelines for survey completion can vary, but we strive to deliver results within two to three weeks.

At Dakat, we provide detailed quotations that cover all aspects of the survey, allowing you to plan your budget effectively. Contact us for a tailored quote based on your property's specifications.

What Types of Measured Building Surveys Are Available?

We offer a variety of measured building surveys to cater to different needs:

• Topographical Surveys: Accurate mapping of the land's surface, including features such as contours, vegetation, and existing structures. Essential for civil engineering projects, these surveys often integrate GPS and Total Station equipment to ensure precise data collection.

• Floor Plan Surveys: Detailed internal layouts of properties that include room dimensions, window and door placements, and service locations. Architects use these for renovation projects or space planning, ensuring compliance with building regulations.

• Elevation Surveys: Measurements of building facades, capturing architectural details such as door patterns, window shapes, and material finishes. These are crucial for heritage preservation and facade reconstruction, complying with local conservation standards.

• Sectional Surveys: Cross-sectional views illustrating the internal structure, revealing floor levels, ceiling heights, and roof profiles. These surveys aid structural engineers in analysing load distribution and planning refurbishment work.

Each type is designed to meet specific engineering and architectural requirements, providing essential data for planning and construction. Whether you are an architect, engineer, or property manager, our surveys provide the insights needed for successful project execution.

How Does a Measured Building Survey Work?

Our measured building survey process is structured and efficient, designed to meet the diverse needs of various clients, from architects and engineers to property developers and estate agents:

1. Initial Consultation: We begin by discussing your specific requirements and project scope, taking into account any existing architectural plans or regulatory considerations that may influence the survey.

2. On-Site Measurement: We conduct on-site measurement using laser scanning and total station methods to capture precise spatial data. This involves deploying equipment such as Leica and Trimble scanners for accuracy within millimetre specifications, ensuring flawless mapping of structural and surface details.

3. Data Processing: Our skilled technicians translate raw measurements into detailed 2D and 3D plans using software like AutoCAD and Revit. These tools help us create accurate models suitable for detailed analysis, refurbishment projects, and heritage recordings.

4. Delivery: We provide comprehensive reports in digital and print formats. Our deliverables often include floor plans, elevations, and cross-sections, prepared to meet RICS standards.

This methodical approach ensures accuracy and reliability, ultimately aiding precise project planning and effective execution. Contact us to arrange your survey today.

How Long Does a Measured Building Survey Take?

Most measured building surveys can be completed within one to three days on site. The timescale depends on the property's size and intricacy.

Larger or more complex properties, such as heritage buildings or commercial sites with multiple levels, may require additional surveying time. Our team deploys advanced laser scanning technology to capture precise dimensions, which is especially useful for complex architectural details.

We ensure absolute precision by following RICS guidelines and using software like AutoCAD for data analysis. Following the on-site work, data processing and report generation typically take an additional two to four days, during which we create detailed 2D plans and 3D models.

Our experienced surveyors are committed to maintaining your project timeline without compromising on accuracy.
