Comprehensive Measured Building Surveys for Architecture

Measured building surveys are at the core of what we do. These surveys capture internal and external building details using high-precision equipment, including 3D laser scanning and GNSS control systems. Measured surveys for architects provide detailed floor plans, elevations, sections, and point cloud data that enable accurate design, renovation or extension work. Our deliverables are supplied in formats compatible with your workflows, whether you work in Revit, AutoCAD, Archicad or other key design environments. With measured building surveys from Tri-Tech you get:

Precise floor plans and internal layouts

External elevations showing façade detail

Section drawings for vertical context

3D point cloud data ready for BIM or CAD workflows

Interactive virtual tour models

Deliverables for Architectural Projects
Our architectural surveying services are defined by precision, experience and adaptability. Tri-Tech delivers value whether you’re a multi-national construction partner or a local developer embarking on your next project. This range of services ensures architects and developers receive reliable, actionable data throughout project development. Each deliverable supports different stages of architecture and planning, from feasibility studies to detailed design and construction coordination. Below are some of the services Tri-Tech regularly provides to architectural teams:
Topographical Surveys
Topographical surveys capturing precise land contours and features.
Measured building surveys producing internal and external building data
3D point clouds and BIM model integration for detailed design workflows

Utility mapping and site context surveys

Volumetric analysis and terrain modelling

Supporting Architectural Projects with Insight and News
Tri-Tech not only delivers surveys — we contribute to the architectural community by sharing insight into how land surveyors support design and planning. Our article, How Land Surveyors Support Architects in Creating Masterpieces, explores how accurate land profiling, contour mapping, measured building surveys and boundary information help architects make informed creative decisions while identifying risks early in the process. Tri-Tech’s news and case studies also showcase real project successes, demonstrating how quality survey data contributes to planning outcomes, design innovation and successful project delivery.

Advanced Technology, Reliable Results

Tri-Tech uses the latest surveying technologies to deliver high-quality architectural data. We employ 3D laser scanning that captures millions of points per second to produce accurate point cloud datasets. These are ideal for complex building forms, heritage properties or renovation projects where precision matters. We also deliver controllable, data-rich BIM models and detailed CAD outputs tailored to your requirements. From initial concept through to detailed design and planning submissions, our surveys support your architectural and project management decisions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a measured building survey and why do architects need it?

A measured building survey captures the real-world dimensions and internal/external details of an existing structure. For architects, this information forms the basis of design, planning submissions, and seamless integration of new elements with existing buildings.

Laser scanning gathers millions of data points to create a point cloud dataset that reflects actual conditions. This level of detail enables architects to model existing structures accurately, identify design constraints, and reduce uncertainty during planning approval and construction.

Yes, Tri-Tech delivers survey data that is fully compatible with BIM workflows, helping architects and engineers collaborate with accurate, detailed models throughout design and project delivery.

In most architectural projects, accurate survey data is essential before planning submission. It ensures all site and building information is correctly represented in planning documents, minimising delays or requests for additional information.
