What Is a Measured Building Survey?

A measured building survey is the process of capturing the precise geometry and layout of a building or structure. It records internal and external features to produce accurate drawings or 3D models for design and construction purposes.

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
  • Lease plans
  • Internal volume calculations
  • BIM and Revit-ready models

We work closely with clients and project teams to ensure outputs meet design standards and integrate seamlessly into wider project workflows.
