Terms and Condition

Table of Contents

Measured Survey London sets out clear, UK-ready Terms and Conditions for measured building surveys, 3D laser scanning, BIM models, area measurement, and land/site tie-ins across Greater London—so your scope, access, deliverables, fees, and usage rights are precise, fair, and fit for the London property market.

Measured Survey London — Terms and Conditions (Contract Overview)

Welcome to the small print that keeps big projects moving. These Terms and Conditions govern every service delivered by Measured Survey London—from a compact flat in W8 to a multi-storey office refit—so your measured survey progresses without guesswork.

We measure buildings, not patience. Clear rules mean fewer surprises, fewer delays, and cleaner drawings—exactly what the London market demands.

This contract covers:

Service scope, booking rules, site access, and client responsibilities
Deliverables (2D plans, point clouds, BIM), accuracy, and permitted use
Quotes, fees, variations, payment, and late/cancellation rules
Liability limits, data protection, termination, and governing law

Context for submissions and drawings lives at the Planning Portal —we align deliverables so your planning path is smoother.

Measured Survey London: Who We Are, Contact & Service Scope

Business Name: Measured Survey London
Address: Town Hall, Hornton Street, Kensington, London, W8 7NX
Telephone: 0208 629 1706 • Email: info@measuredsurveylondon.uk
Website: Measured Survey London (Home) • Team overview: About Us

Service scope (what we do):

Measured Building Surveys (2D Plans)—floor plans, elevations, sections, roof plans (tidy CAD layers). See: Measured Building Survey (2D Plans)
3D Laser Scanning & BIM Models—point clouds and Revit models for coordination
Area Measurement—GIA/NIA/NSA schedules for leasing/valuation
Measured Land & Site Tie-In Surveys—control networks, datums, boundary tie-ins

Professional touchstones: we keep an eye on RICS guidance so outputs are defensible: RICS.
Borough know-how: we understand conservation and local process rhythms (RBKC, City, et al.).

Measured Survey London: Definitions Used in These Terms

To avoid guesswork (save that for Monopoly house prices), the following apply:

“Client” — the commissioning party engaging Measured Survey London.
“Services” — any combination of measured building surveys, 3D scanning/BIM, area measurement, and measured land surveys.
“Deliverables” — outputs we issue, such as 2D CAD drawings, point clouds, Revit/BIM models, schedules, control notes, and measurement survey reports.
“Site” — the property/properties to be surveyed.
“Quote/Proposal” — our written scope, programme, and fees measured surveys, accepted by you (email acceptance counts).
“Variation” — agreed change to scope (e.g., extra storeys, basements, ornate façades, or additional sections).
“Working Day” — Monday–Friday, excluding public holidays in England.
“Accuracy” — the practical tolerance stated in your brief; what is a measured survey without a tolerance is just a very nice drawing.
“IP” — intellectual property rights in our methods and deliverables.

If you’re unsure whether something is in or out of scope, ask before we attend. It’s easier to measure once than argue twice.

Measured Survey London: Bookings, Site Access & Client Responsibilities

To keep the programme brisk and the outputs spotless, a few practicalities:

1) Booking & Acceptance

A job is booked when you accept our Quote/Proposal in writing and provide essential details (site address, access, H&S notes, deliverables).
Time slots are first-come, first-served; London moves quickly, so do calendars.

2) Access & Health & Safety

The Client secures safe, reasonable access during agreed hours and flags restrictions (concierge rules, parking, alarm codes, pets who moonlight as security).
We may refuse or pause if conditions are unsafe (live hazards, unlit spaces).
If we’re turned away or delayed beyond our control, a re-attendance charge may apply.

3) Information & Preparation

Provide any prior drawings, levels, or building measured survey example data. It helps us tailor capture and minimise rework.
Tell us about basements, roof access, locked rooms, or fragile interiors so our measured building surveying team can plan stations and equipment sensibly.

4) Changes & Variations

Discovering extra floors/outbuildings or complex roof geometry typically triggers a Variation. We’ll flag, price, and request written go-ahead before proceeding.

5) Neighbouring & Third-Party Permissions

If parts of the full measured building survey require neighbour access, the Client handles permissions; we’ll coordinate once granted.

London wisdom: the only thing faster than a morning commute is a scope that grows mid-survey. Tell us everything upfront and we’ll keep the tape—and your budget—under control.

Measured Survey London: Deliverables, Formats & Accuracy Expectations

Our outputs are designed to be useful—not just pretty. We issue deliverables tuned to your purpose (planning, design coordination, tender). Typical sets include:

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

Accuracy (typical expectations)

Residential internals: ±10–20 mm across plan (tighter locally where needed)
Commercial/heritage: tuned to agreed brief; façade retention and complex roofs attract extra control

Planning & professional context

London-wide design narratives: The London Plan
Sector best practice and safety advisories: The Survey Association (TSA)
Technical guidance library: NBS Knowledge

Translation: you get geometry you can trust—ready for planners, architects, and contractors to act on.

Measured Survey London: Fees, Quotes, Variations & Payment Terms

We believe transparency beats surprises (especially on site).

Quotes & Validity

Quotes list scope, deliverables, measured survey cost items, and assumptions; they remain valid for a stated period.
If assumptions change (access, storeys, heritage detail), a Variation may be required.

Variations

We’ll seek written approval before extra work begins. Variation rates follow the original pricing logic.

Payment

Invoices are due per the schedule in your Quote/Proposal.
Overdue sums may accrue statutory interest/charges.
Staged deliverables may be withheld pending payment (we’ll always communicate first).

Pricing context & benchmarks

For indicative ranges and add-ons, see our London cost page: Measured Building Survey Cost. It helps calibrate expectations for cost of measured building survey, fees measured surveys, and how much does a measured survey cost across property types.

Measured Survey London: Intellectual Property & Licence to Use Drawings

Ownership: We retain IP in methodologies, survey databases, and unissued working files.
Licence: Upon full payment, you receive a non-exclusive licence to use issued deliverables for the specific project/site and stated purpose (planning/design/contract).
Limits: Third-party reuse beyond the project/purpose requires our consent.
Alterations: If others edit our files, please keep provenance clear—nothing derails coordination faster than mystery layers.

In short: use our drawings/models freely for your project. If you want to repurpose them elsewhere, just ask.

Measured Survey London: Planning, Compliance & Helpful References

Our job is to supply verifiable geometry; your professional team leads planning and compliance. That said, our work routinely references:

RBKC Planning & Building Control (borough example): RBKC Planning
HM Land Registry (title/boundary context): Search Property Information
Ordnance Survey (mapping baselayers): Ordnance Survey
Historic England (heritage guidance): Advice for Historic Assets
Flood risk mapping (where relevant): Flood Map for Planning

Measured Survey London: Limitations of Liability & Insurance

We stand behind our work, within sensible limits:

Professional duty: we exercise reasonable skill and care customary for measured building survey companies in London.
Indirect loss: we’re not liable for indirect or consequential losses (e.g., lost profit, programme slippage not caused by us).
Use of data: deliverables are for the agreed site/purpose; using them elsewhere without validation may produce errors.
Insurance: details can be provided on request.

Always verify critical dimensions on-site before fabrication. Even London’s straight walls have a sense of humour.

Measured Survey London: Data Protection, Confidentiality & Cookies

Privacy: we handle personal data per UK GDPR and our policy (how enquiries, site notes, and contact details are processed). Read: Privacy Policy
Confidentiality: we keep your project information confidential except where disclosure is required by law or expressly agreed.
Cookies/Analytics: necessary cookies support forms; anonymised analytics, where used, improve clarity.

Information management

We maintain disciplined naming/versioning; for modern principles see: IMI Framework

Measured Survey London: Cancellation, Force Majeure & Termination

Cancellation/Rescheduling: permitted with notice; short-notice changes may incur a charge if we can’t reallocate the slot.
Force Majeure: neither party is liable for delays caused by events beyond reasonable control (extreme weather, transport strikes, etc.).
Termination: either party may terminate for material breach not remedied within a reasonable period.

Utilities & safe digging (if your project expands)

For pre-construction checks: LinesearchbeforeUdig (LSBUD) and NUAR guidance: National Underground Asset Register
Transport interfaces for larger schemes: TfL Transport Assessments

Measured Survey London: Governing Law, Disputes & Changes to These Terms

Governing Law/Jurisdiction: England and Wales; courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
Priority of documents: if there’s a conflict between these Terms and an agreed Quote/Proposal, the specific Quote/Proposal takes precedence for that job.
Updates: we may revise these Terms; the latest version is published at the link above and applies to new orders.
