About Us

Measured Survey London is a specialist London-based team delivering precise measured building surveys—2D plans, 3D laser scanning, BIM models, area measurement, and land/site tie-ins—across Greater London and nearby counties. We combine local insight with survey-grade accuracy so architects, homeowners, and contractors can plan, design, and build with confidence. For a fast quote, call 0208 629 1706.

Measured Survey London — About Us, Mission & Promise

Measured Survey London exists to convert London’s delightfully “characterful” properties into dependable geometry. From Kensington mews to City floorplates, our measured surveys turn real spaces into design-ready data—because guessing wall angles is not a project plan.

“Measure twice, argue never.” In London’s high-stakes property market, verified drawings and models keep budgets on track and teams on speaking terms.

Who we are (at a glance):

What we deliver (core disciplines):

  • Measured Building Surveys (2D Plans)
  • 3D Laser Scanning & BIM Models
  • Area Measurement (GIA/NIA/NSA)
  • Measured Land & Site Tie-In Surveys

Why London picks us:

  • Field-to-model workflow: one team, one standard
  • Clear layering, consistent naming, architect-friendly file packs
  • Planning-aware outputs for London’s boroughs and conservation areas
  • Fast lead times without compromising accuracy

Measured Survey London: Our Story, Team & London Roots

We founded Measured Survey London after seeing too many refurbishments delayed by wishful sketches and inherited PDFs. Our surveyors, CAD technicians, and BIM modellers operate as a single unit—so your building measurement survey reflects the site you actually have, not the one someone guessed in 1998.

How we think:

  • Local intelligence: parking, permits, access, and neighbours who “work from home” (with very loud drills).
  • Quality under pressure: London deadlines are real; so is our QA.
  • Communication first: concise notes for architects and contractors, no jargon bloat.
  • Data with context: geometry plus photos, levels, and control—useful, not just pretty.

Typical days out for our crew:

  • Notting Hill terraces and W8 maisonettes
  • Shoreditch warehouses and CAT A/B office refurbs
  • Heritage façades where millimetres matter

Measured Survey London: Core Services & Deliverables (2D, 3D, Area, Land)

When you engage Measured Survey London, you get outputs designed for real-world decisions—planning submissions, tenders, lease events, and construction.

  1. Measured Building Surveys (2D Plans)

  2. 3D Laser Scanning & BIM Models

    • High-density point clouds; Revit models (LOD 200–300+)
    • Ideal for complex geometry, curved walls, stair strings, and roofscapes

  3. Area Measurement

    • GIA/NIA/NSA schedules for leasing, valuation, and appraisals
    • Transparent calculations to support agents and asset managers

  4. Measured Land & Site Tie-In Surveys

    • Control networks, datums, and boundary tie-ins
    • Ensures your measure building survey aligns on grid and with neighbours

Common use-cases:

  • Residential: lofts, extensions, basements, remodelling
  • Commercial: CAT A/B refurb, reconfiguration, headcount planning
  • Heritage: façade mapping, intricate sections, conservation dialogues

Need a measured survey example? We can share anonymised samples (plans/elevations/sections) and a measured survey of building example on request.

Measured Survey London: How We Work (Quality, Standards & Planning Context)

Our process is designed for speed without sacrificing rigour—because nothing ruins a programme like a surprise stair pitch.

Our 7-step workflow:

  1. Brief & Scope Alignment — Objectives, deliverables (2D/3D/BIM), access, H&S.
  2. Control & Setup — Datums, benchmarks, and QA checklists.
  3. Scanning & Capture — High-density, multi-station coverage; photos for context.
  4. Registration & QA — Point-cloud registration to control, residuals reviewed.
  5. Modelling & Drawing — Tidy layers, disciplined families, and logical break lines.
  6. Internal Review — Cross-checks against photos, site notes, and control.
  7. Delivery & Aftercare — Issue packs; quick iterations if the brief evolves.

Standards & references we work with:

“What are measured surveys?” They’re the factual measured building surveying baseline your team uses to make confident decisions—no back-of-napkin compromises.

Measured Survey London: Our Laser Scanning Workflow & QA Steps

Speed meets precision. Our capture-to-delivery pipeline keeps drawings clean and models trustworthy—even when your townhouse has more angles than a Monday morning commute.

  • Control-first: we establish robust site control and local datums.
  • Capture-smart: station planning to minimise occlusions; lift shafts and ceiling voids where relevant.
  • Register-tight: point clouds registered with residuals checked and documented.
  • Model-practical: deliverables tuned to purpose—planning packs, coordination sets, or tender drawings.
  • QA-visible: notes and photos accompany geometry so decisions aren’t made in the dark.

Information management matters: we align with modern frameworks and naming logic that keep teams sane: IMI Framework

Measured Survey London: Accuracy, File Formats & Example Outputs

Accuracy (typical expectations):

  • Residential internals: ±10–20 mm across plan (tighter on local details)
  • Commercial/heritage: dialled to brief; façade retention or complex roofs get extra love

File formats you’ll actually use:

  • 2D CAD: DWG/DXF plans, elevations, sections, roof plans
  • Point clouds: E57/RCP/RCS for coordination and clash checks
  • BIM/Revit: LOD 200–300+ with sensible families and parameters
  • Schedules: doors, windows; area measurement surveys (GIA/NIA/NSA)
  • Control reports: tie-ins, benchmarks, coordinate references

Context sources we reference:

London quirk watch: bay windows and chimney stacks behave like free spirits. Measured Survey London documents them so your design—and your budget—stay on plan.

Measured Survey London: Pricing Principles & Cost Drivers

Every brief is unique, but transparency isn’t. We price by size, complexity, coverage (internal/external), and deliverables (2D vs 3D/BIM). Express turnarounds, drones, and heritage detail add to scope.

Cost drivers at a glance:

  • Property size & storeys
  • Complexity (basements, curved walls, ornate façades)
  • Internal vs external coverage
  • Deliverables (2D, point cloud, BIM)
  • Access and programme constraints

Measured Survey London: FAQs—What, Why & When

What is a measured survey?
A precise capture of existing conditions—dimensions, levels, openings, roof geometry—converted into 2D plans and/or 3D/BIM for planning, coordination, and construction.

What are measured surveys used for in London?
Planning applications, refurbishments, extensions, basements, lease events, valuation, and tender packs—anywhere certainty beats surprises.

How much does a measured survey cost?
From compact flats to multi-storey commercial buildings, costs scale with scope. We keep fees measured surveys transparent and itemised.

How to measure a building properly?
Establish control, scan strategically, register point clouds to control, then derive QA-checked drawings/models. Or hire Measured Survey London and get your weekend back.

Do you handle utilities and risk checks?
Yes—while your design team leads coordination, we reference utility searches and risk layers where relevant: LinesearchbeforeUdig (LSBUD) • NUAR Guidance • Flood Map for Planning • TfL Transport Assessments

Do you follow building regulations guidance?
We align with submission expectations and keep an eye on the official guidance library: Approved Documents Collection
