    What this survey is designed for

    What is a Measured / Architecture Survey?

    A Measured / Architecture Survey records a building or site’s existing layout, dimensions and visible features, creating the measured information needed for floor plans, elevations, sections, site plans and as-built drawings.

    Building layout

    Room sizes, layouts, internal and external dimensions, floor-to-ceiling heights and wall thickness measurements recorded on site.

    Architectural features

    Door and window positions, staircase measurements, openings, level changes and visible features that affect design drawings.

    Structural elements

    Columns, beams, chimney breasts, openings and other visible structural elements captured where accessible and relevant to the brief.

    Drawing outputs

    Existing floor plans, elevations, sections, roof plans, site plans, block plans and as-built drawings prepared to the agreed scope.

    CAD deliverables

    Clear PDF drawings and AutoCAD DWG files for architects, designers, builders, consultants and property records.

    Site information

    Optional site details such as boundaries, levels, drainage positions, trees, roads, parking, paths and utility covers where requested.

    When to book

    Useful before design, planning and property decisions.

    Book a measured survey when you need a reliable base drawing rather than relying on outdated, incomplete or estate-agent-style plans.
    • Planning an extension, loft conversion or refurbishment
    • Preparing drawings for planning, design or feasibility work
    • Existing plans are missing, outdated or not detailed enough
    • Briefing an architect, designer, builder or planning consultant
    • Updating property records, lease information or asset documents
    • Need as-built drawings after works or before future alterations

    Speak to National building consultants before you commit to buying, leasing or renovating, so you understand the property's condition, risks and repair priorities first.
