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.
Manchester has one of the densest concentrations of architectural practices in the North of England. The city's building stock — Victorian cotton warehouses, Edwardian terraces, post-war commercial buildings and contemporary mixed-use developments — generates constant demand for accurate measured survey data. Whether you're an architect working in the Northern Quarter, a developer converting a warehouse in Ancoats, or a planning consultant submitting an application to Manchester City Council, we deliver the survey data you need to move your project forward.
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.
Manchester's architectural variety means every survey is different. Victorian mill conversions in Ancoats and Salford demand precise floor-to-ceiling heights and structural bay dimensions. Georgian and Edwardian terraces in Didsbury and Chorlton require careful external elevations for planning applications. Large commercial and retail buildings in the city centre need multi-floor surveys delivered fast. 105 Surveys delivers laser scanned measured building surveys across Manchester, Salford, Didsbury, Chorlton, Altrincham, Stockport, Oldham, Rochdale, Bury, Bolton, Trafford, Wythenshawe and the wider Greater Manchester area, with CAD drawings delivered in days from the site visit.
