Start Your Project Correctly

Every successful project begins with accurate data. Here's why getting the survey right at the start matters.

Project Assurance

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.

Protect Your Investment

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.

Warrington sits at the heart of the North West's commercial and logistics corridor, with a significant stock of industrial and commercial buildings alongside growing residential development. Architects and developers working across Warrington and Halton need accurate survey data for conversion projects, planning applications to Warrington Borough Council, and commercial refurbishments. Fast turnaround is especially important here — and that's where we come in.

What is a Measured Building Survey?

Also referred to as a Measured Survey, MBS, or Measured Drawings

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.

Warrington's development pipeline spans Victorian terraces and commercial buildings in the town centre, industrial units and warehouse conversions across the borough, and new residential schemes in the new town areas. Whether the project is a residential extension in Lymm, a commercial refurbishment in Birchwood, or a conversion in the town centre, Warrington Borough Council will expect accurate existing building data as part of any planning or building regulations submission. 105 Surveys delivers laser scanned measured building surveys across Warrington, Widnes, Runcorn, Northwich, Knutsford, Lymm, Frodsham, Culcheth, Penketh, Grappenhall, Appleton and the wider Cheshire and Halton area, with CAD drawings delivered in days from the site visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — Warrington and the wider borough is well within our core North West coverage. We cover Warrington town centre and surrounding areas including Runcorn, Widnes, Lymm, Culcheth, Penketh, Great Sankey, Padgate and Appleton. Whether it's a residential extension, commercial unit or industrial building, we can get to you quickly and deliver drawings to programme.
Most Warrington properties are captured in a single day on site. The area's mix of Victorian housing, commercial premises and industrial units is well within our standard scope. CAD drawings are delivered within 5 working days of the site visit — we'll confirm exact timescales once we know your project requirements.
A standard Measured Building Survey includes floor plans at every level, elevations on all principal facades, cross sections and roof plans. We also capture internal wall positions, window and door openings, ceiling heights, structural features and any other elements specified in your brief. All drawings are produced in CAD format.
Our surveys achieve accuracy of 2 to 5mm using laser scanning technology. This is the standard required by architects and planning authorities for design and planning work. Estate agent floor plans and old building records rarely come close to this level of precision.
Pricing depends on property size, complexity and the drawings required. A 2–3 bedroom residential property in Warrington typically starts from £750 + VAT. Commercial and industrial properties are quoted individually. All quotes are fixed price with no surprises — contact us and we'll usually come back to you within a few hours.
We supply drawings in all major CAD formats including AutoCAD (.dwg), Revit (.rvt), ArchiCAD (.pln) and PDF. Just tell us what software your design team uses and we'll deliver in the right format. If you have specific drawing standards, let us know and we'll work to them.
A Measured Building Survey captures the internal and external structure of an existing building — walls, floors, ceilings, openings and features. A Topographical Survey captures the land and ground features around a site — levels, boundaries, trees, services and above-ground infrastructure. Many projects require both, and we can provide both from a single visit.
