Every successful project begins with accurate data. Here's why getting the survey right at the start matters.
Before design or construction, you need to know exactly what you're working with. Our surveys capture every measurement and detail of your property so that everyone involved in your project is working from the same accurate picture. Getting this right at the start means everything that follows becomes simpler, cheaper, and creates little room for error.
Every £ you put into your project is supposed to come back as value. Variations, delays, and on-site surprises silently eat into that return before you even see it happening. Accurate survey data at the start keeps those costs where they belong — out of your project — helping you stick to your budget.
Chester has one of the highest densities of listed and heritage buildings in England. The Roman walls, the Rows, the cathedral precinct and Georgian residential streets generate constant demand for precise measured survey data. Whether you're an architect working on a listed building application, a developer refurbishing a historic property, or a planning consultant dealing with Cheshire West and Chester Council's conservation officers, accurate existing building data is the starting point for every project.
A Measured Building Survey is a precise, scaled record of an existing building. Every wall, floor, ceiling, window, door and structural feature is measured and mapped accurately.
We use laser scanning technology to capture the building in detail, then produce a full set of CAD drawings. These become the base that architects work from when designing extensions, conversions or refurbishments.
Without accurate existing drawings, any new design is built on guesswork and inaccurate information. If the measurements are even slightly off, problems may occur during planning or after works have begun — which takes time to resolve, delays projects and eats into budgets unnecessarily.
Estate agent floor plans and old building records aren't accurate enough for design or planning work. Our surveys are accurate to within 2 to 5mm, which is the level architects and planning authorities require before any serious work can begin.
Chester has one of the highest densities of listed and heritage buildings in England — the Roman walls, the Rows, the cathedral precinct and Georgian residential streets generate constant demand for measured building surveys.
