Quick answers
Why do I need a measured survey?
Because every application and every fit-out drawing is measured against the existing building. An inaccurate baseline causes problems at approval and again on site.
Can my own team measure the premises?
Where it is permitted and the conditions are met, yes, using our guide, and we check the figures before drawing. That saves up to £450.
What do I receive?
Accurate existing plans, elevations and sections, plus floor area schedules where you need them.
How quickly?
Survey arranged promptly, with drawings following within 10 working days unless we agree otherwise.
