This particular survey project was for a domestic property in the Bowburn area of Durham, although much smaller than a typical measured building survey on a commercial premises, the process and quality control remain the same. From the initial site visit for architects and planners, the survey stages are next to gather the crucial information needed to progress with the project.

The survey was commissioned by a local architect to gather the information necessary for the planning stages. The equipment used was our Trimble X7 Laser Scanner which is a highly accurate piece of surveying equipment that can capture the information needed through multiple scans around the internal and external areas of the property which are processed & registered together to create what’s known as a pointcloud. The data from the pointcloud is then used to extract orthographic images for the building elevations and for the production of 2D floor plans and sections.

We produced highly detailed 2D Floor Plans alongside Building Elevations with corresponding Orthographic Images and Building Sections. All of the information was delivered in AutoCAD DWG format including PDF files for each element of the survey.
