What Is A Measured Building Survey?
A measured building survey is a digital representation of a building’s layout, created from actual on-site measurements. It provides a set of plans that can range from basic to highly detailed, depending on the project’s requirements.
The survey typically includes the building’s external and internal walls, window openings, doors, partition walls, other fitout and structural elements like columns and staircases. It may also cover features such as power points, fixed furniture, and wet areas like kitchens and bathrooms.
In some cases, the measured building survey extends to a Revit Model, offering an even more detailed 3D representation of the space.
