Understanding Measured Building Surveys
What is a Measured Building Survey?
A Measured Survey, specifically a Measured Building Survey, is a detailed and accurate depiction of an existing building. It involves capturing precise accurate measurements of the building’s internal and external site features, including walls, floors, ceilings, windows, doors, and structural elements. The survey also documents the building’s architectural elements, such as cornices, moldings, and other decorative details. The resulting survey data is then used to create accurate drawings like internal floor plans, elevations, roof plans, and 3D models, providing an exact site layout.
Types of Measured Building Surveys
There are various types of Measured Building Surveys, each tailored to specific survey requirements for various projects. These include:
- Floor Plans: Detailed internal floor plans showing the layout of each floor, including walls, doors, windows, and room names.
- Elevations: Accurate representations of the building’s external facades, showing the height, width, and architectural features.
- Roof Plans: Accurate drawings illustrating the shape and layout of the roof, including slopes, ridges, and chimneys.
- Cross-Sections: Diagrams showing the building’s internal structure, including walls, floors, and ceilings.
- 3D Models: Digital representations of the building, providing a comprehensive view of its internal and external site features.

Measured Building Survey Cost
Factors Influencing Cost
The measured building survey cost can vary significantly based on several key factors. The size and complexity of the building are primary considerations; larger and more intricate structures require more time and resources for an accurate measured survey. The level of detail required also plays a crucial role — detailed surveys that include internal and external elevations, internal floor plans, and 3D models will naturally cost more than those focusing on basic features. Additionally, the modern technology used for data collection, such as 3D laser scanning equipment, can influence the measured survey cost. Other factors include the building’s location, how many floors, and the type of construction, all of which can impact the overall measured building survey cost.
