What is a
Building Measurement Survey
and who needs
one?Building
Measurement Surveys are invariably required prior to
refurbishment projects or extensions. Clients
include developers, architects and
civil engineers.
The
purpose of a Building Measurement Survey is to
provide an accurate
computer model of a building so that
the client can plan and design refurbishments, new
layouts or ensure that planned extensions will dovetail
into existing structures.
A Building Measurement
Survey can be an extremely detailed map of a
building
interior together with cross-sections and
exterior/interior elevations. It
can show every radiator,
electricity plug, etc (very expensive) or can merely
show
room layouts, stairs, corridors, windows and doors,
providing the client
with accurate basic data (the
cheapest option). Elevations can show every crack
in the brickwork and fiddly detail of fenestration or
merely show the outline
silhouette with window and door
openings. The more detail, the greater the cost.
