In scope of this Privacy Policy:
- Enquiries by phone/email and web forms
- Site visits for building measurement survey capture (including notes and photographs)
- Production of 2D plans, 3D point clouds, BIM models, and area measurement surveys
- Project administration, scheduling, and invoicing

Measured Survey London: Our Privacy Principles (Plain-English Version)
We wrote these like a good set of CAD layer rules—short, consistent, and actually useful:
- Minimal & relevant: We collect only what’s needed to deliver your measured surveys—contact details, site address, scope, and access notes.
- Transparent & time-bound: We explain why we need something and retain it no longer than necessary for measured building surveys London work and record-keeping.
- Secure by design: Files live in controlled systems; access is role-based; backups are monitored.
- Project-first: No data brokering. No unrelated marketing. We focus on your measurement survey deliverables.
- UK-GDPR aligned: Rights respected; records kept; decisions documented.
- Accuracy matters: If details change (hello, keyholder), tell us and we’ll update—no fuss.
Measured Survey London: What Personal Data We Collect (When & Why)
We collect data when you:
- Enquire or request a quote (name, contact, site address, high-level scope)
- Book a measured survey London visit (access details, H&S notes, keyholder info)
- Proceed to deliverables (drawings/models metadata, issue logs, revision notes)
- Handle admin (invoicing and project records)

Measured Survey London: How We Use Your Data & Our Lawful Bases
We use your data to run your project properly—nothing more, nothing less.
Core uses & lawful bases:
- Quoting & booking your measured survey → contract / steps prior to a contract
- Carrying out the survey and issuing 2D/3D/BIM deliverables → contract
- Project communication (updates, clarifications, logistics) → legitimate interests
- Invoicing & records (compliance/accounting) → legal obligation
- Service improvement (anonymous trend checks like average measured survey cost by size) → legitimate interests
We won’t use your details for unrelated marketing. No endless spam—life’s short and your inbox is busy enough.
Measured Survey London: Data Retention—How Long & Why
Retention is practical and proportionate to London project cycles:
- Enquiries & quotes (no booking): typically deleted or anonymised within a reasonable period if dormant
- Active projects (survey measurements, drawings, models): retained for a period to support revisions, snag lists, or future works
- Financial records: kept as required by law
Architects often revisit measured building survey data when a client upgrades from “loft” to “loft + rear extension.” We retain just enough to help—no more.
For indicative pricing methodology and transparency around scoping, see our guide: Measured Building Survey Cost — London.
Measured Survey London: Security Measures & Third-Party Processing
Your data deserves more than a flimsy padlock. We apply layered controls:
- Access control: role-based permissions; need-to-know access
- Backups & monitoring: version history, encrypted storage where applicable
- Operational discipline: documented workflows from capture to issue
- Third-party processors: reputable providers supporting storage/communication, under appropriate terms
We keep outputs practical for borough submissions and coordination standards, aligning with city-wide planning context (see the London Plan), sector best-practice from The Survey Association (TSA), and technical know-how at NBS Knowledge (The NBS). Boundary and mapping context may reference HM Land Registry (Search property information) and Ordnance Survey (OS).
Translation: strong fences, sensible keys, and sign-posted paths—just like a good site set-up.
