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.
Wigan's built environment reflects its industrial heritage — former cotton mills, Victorian terraces, pit-head buildings and warehouses that are increasingly being converted into residential and commercial use. Architects and developers working on these projects need accurate survey data to support planning applications to Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council, building regulations submissions and design work. Fast, accurate measured building surveys are the foundation of every successful conversion.
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.
Wigan's conversion and refurbishment pipeline is one of the most consistent in the sub-region. Former industrial buildings, Victorian and Edwardian terraces, and commercial stock across the borough all generate demand for precise measured survey data. Whether the project is a mill conversion in Leigh, a residential extension in Standish, or a commercial refurbishment in the town centre, the planning process starts with accurate existing building drawings. 105 Surveys delivers laser scanned measured building surveys across Wigan, Bolton, Leigh, Atherton, Hindley, Standish, Skelmersdale, Ormskirk, Ashton-in-Makerfield, Golborne, Tyldesley, Abram and the wider Wigan and Bolton area, with CAD drawings delivered in days from the site visit.
