What Is a Measured Building Survey?
Measured building surveys are essential for:
- Refurbishment and retrofit projects
- Architectural design and renovation
- Planning applications
- Heritage and conservation work
- Asset management and BIM workflows
All surveys are completed to your specification, with expert guidance on the most efficient and cost-effective approach to achieve the deliverables you need.
Our Measured Building Survey Services
At Tri-Tech, we utilise modern survey methods including laser scanning and point cloud capture to deliver highly accurate building data.
We can produce:
- Internal floor plans
- External and internal elevations
- Building sections
- Street scenes and façade drawings

What are Measured Building Surveys?
Measured building surveys, also known as architectural surveys, are detailed surveys of the internal and external features of a building, including its layout, dimensions, materials, and finishes. The surveys are typically carried out by professional surveyors using specialised equipment, such as total stations or laser scanners, to collect data about
What are the benefits of having a Measured Building Survey?
A measured building survey is a comprehensive survey of a building’s structure, dimensions, and features. There are several benefits to having a measured building survey, including: Accurate building information: A measured building survey provides accurate and detailed information about the building’s structure, layout, and features, which can be used for
How is a measured building survey carried out?
A measured building survey is typically carried out by a professional surveyor, who will use specialised equipment and techniques to obtain accurate measurements and information about a building’s structure and features. The following steps are typically involved in a measured building survey: Pre-survey consultation: The surveyor will typically meet with
What can I expect to receive at the end of a measured building survey?
At the end of a measured building survey, you can expect to receive a comprehensive report that includes detailed information about the building’s structure, dimensions, and features. The contents of the report may vary depending on the scope and purpose of the survey, but typically it will include the following:
Land and Engineering Surveyors
topographical surveys
Tri-Tech work for a variety of different clients on different projects, and we pride ourselves on delivering accurate, efficient, cost effective surveys ensuring our clients receive the best possible product.
utility mapping
Using the latest equipment, we can provide the location of underground services in either 2D or 3D. We use state of the art Ground Penetrating Radar and Electromagnetic Location to assist your project when service avoidance may be a potential issue on site.
monitoring
Is there any movement? That is the question that is asked before and during any monitoring scheme. That is the reason we undertake monitoring, to check for movement.
laser scanning
For mass collection of accurate survey data then nothing beats scanning. Using 3D laser Scanners the surveyors can capture millions of points per second with the creation of a PointCloud.
volumetric analysis
We specialise in the analysis of a scheme’s volumetrics at any point in time. Be it Tender, Prestart, Monthly, Weekly, or Final.
Bathymetric surveys
By using the latest surveying technology, we have been able to survey watercourses safely and efficiently.
setting out & site engineering
Bread and butter work for us! Having a strong relationship with many civil engineering companies we have a very strong team of Site Engineers and Engineering Surveyors working for us.
control network installation
At Tri-Tech we have vast experience in this field. Be it a large highway scheme or a private property we can advise on what accuracies are required from your control network depending on what work you are carrying out and the tolerances you are carrying this work out to.
uav mapping & aerial surveys
Large areas of ground can be covered capturing the most unbelievable detail which would just be unable to be recorded with traditional methods. Our clients have really seen the benefit of what UAV surveys bring to the table.
