A measured survey is a comprehensive survey relating to the external and/or internal aspects of a site, right down to the detail of individual floor plans.
Measured surveys are conducted in line with guidance from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), which forms the framework of rules for measured surveys of buildings, utilities or land.
Depending on the scale of a project and specific requirements, measured surveys can take the form of anything from basic floor plans and drawings to highly accurate 3D models. The data collected forms a crucial element of future planning phases, as well as forming the foundation from which all design and development plans are created.
Accuracy and survey quality are vital, as inaccuracies can lead to increased costs, delays and the potential for breaching planning conditions.
Simply send us your specification and we’ll get back to you with a quote for your measured survey.
If you’d like to go ahead, you can either call or email us and we’ll book the survey in for you, doing our best to fit in with any deadlines. All we generally need is an address and confirmation of access, and you can leave the rest to us.
All Callidus measured surveys are carried out in strict accordance with RICS Code of Measuring Practice, 6th Edition (updated Jan 2018).
To be able to put a price to your survey, we need to fully understand your requirements.
Below is our standard list of reminders to help you put together a workable specification:
Internal plans at which floors? To include all service switches, sockets, lights outlets etc.?
Note: Standard plans include windows, doors, door swings, structural walls, partitions, floor-ceiling heights, window heights/positions within floor-ceiling, location of downstand beams, sills, heads, parapets, soffits, changes in floor levels, steps, ramps, all significant sanitary fittings, and incoming services where visible.
Topographic survey (external yard, garden plans)?
External elevations? Which elevations? (Specify which faces).
Any off-site elevations for context or rights-to-light? (Specify which faces).
Fully detailed (including coursing detail and fenestration) or basic (openings and profiles only).
Internal elevations (basic or detailed)?
Note: Internal elevations in every space will more than double the price of your survey. Please be specific in choosing any internal elevations to minimise costs.
Sections through the building? How many? Do you need these internally elevated? Can you provide a plan mark-up of specific required positions?
