Understanding Measured Building Surveys
What is a Measured Building Survey?
A Measured Survey, specifically a Measured Building Survey, is a detailed and accurate representation of an existing building. It involves capturing precise measurements of the building’s internal and external features, including walls, floors, ceilings, windows, doors, and structural elements. The survey also documents the building’s architectural features, such as cornices, moldings, and other decorative details. The resulting survey data is then used to create accurate floor plans, elevations, roof plans, and 3D models.
Types of Measured Building Surveys
There are various types of Measured Building Surveys, each tailored to specific project requirements. These include:
- Floor Plans: Detailed drawings showing the layout of each floor, including walls, doors, windows, and room names.
- Elevations: Accurate representations of the building’s external facades, showing the height, width, and architectural features.
- Roof Plans: Drawings illustrating the shape and layout of the roof, including slopes, ridges, and chimneys.
- Cross-Sections: Diagrams showing the building’s internal structure, including walls, floors, and ceilings.
- 3D Models: Digital representations of the building, providing a comprehensive view of its internal and external features.

Measured Building Survey Cost
Factors Influencing Cost
The cost of a measured building survey can vary significantly based on several key factors. The size and complexity of the building are primary considerations; larger and more intricate structures require more time and resources to survey accurately. The level of detail required also plays a crucial role —detailed surveys that include internal and external elevations, floor plans, and 3D models will naturally cost more than basic surveys. Additionally, the technology used to capture the data, such as 3D laser scanning, can influence the cost. Other factors include the building’s location, the number of floors, and the type of construction, all of which can impact the overall measured building survey cost.
