Measured Building Survey in Richmond

The issue on this job

The building had irregular floor levels, later alterations, and limited access through narrow stairs, so the survey needed to capture enough internal control without disrupting residents. Existing agent plans were too loose for design use.

Because the project was still at concept stage, the client wanted practical drawings quickly rather than an over-modeled output that would slow the programme.

How we handled it

We completed a measured building survey in Richmond using internal control and laser capture in the tighter rooms, then tied the elevations and key structural features back into the main drawing set.

What the result was

Output

CAD / Planning-ready drawings

Delivery

Kept the programme moving

Programme

one site visit and short-turnaround drawing package

The design team had dependable as-built information for the reconfiguration options, and the client avoided pushing a concept scheme forward on inaccurate dimensions. The survey also reduced the risk of late-stage changes once structural drawings started.

If you are dealing with an as-built survey before internal reconfiguration on a period conversion with split-level layout, the next step is a clear scope and quote.
