Measured Building Surveys
What Is a Measured Building Survey?
A Measured Building Survey will provide you with accurate measurements of key features of your building. It is essential if you plan to refurbish, re-plan, or extend the building in any way. The measurement data is then presented on 2D Drawings or a 3D Building Information Model (BIM), Perfect for your Designers to work up their proposed schemes.
How Much Does a Measured Building Survey Cost?
Typically, the cost can be as low as £1,250 + VAT for a small sized plot situated reasonably local to our offices. This price will of course increase dependant on distance, size and the level of detail required to record what you need.
