Measured Building Survey solutions to suit your needs and budget
What is a 'Measured Building Survey'?
At MDS we specialise in highly detailed measured building surveys primarily for the purposes of refit and refurbishment. Your survey could be for any number of reasons; Asset Management, As Built Records, Refit or Refurbishment. A measured building survey is an accurate 3D representation of your property both internally and externally. It can include structure, services, land or all three. Our building surveyors will carry out an accurate measured building survey using the relevant technique (3D High Definition Laser Scan, Traditional, Total Station) then we transfer the measured survey data to 3D using Autodesk Recap 360 and Revit 2017 3D software.
The company background is in measured building surveys for refurbishment or renovation of both large and small projects from high street property to multiple occupancy offices so we know the industry very well and know what information is needed by our clients.
We offer varying levels of measured building survey including:
Establishing what you need before you have your measured building survey completed is critical. At MDS we work on the principal that you will get greater value for money (with our advice) if you only survey what you need.
We will start with a free consultation to establish the purpose of the measured survey and therefore what level of detail (LOD) you will need. We will then draw up all the detail in 3D using REVIT 2017 as a Building Information Model.
As a principle we always model in 3D, why? because this allows us to produce any building sections, plans and visuals on demand at very competitive rates, either in 2D or 3D format. We can provide:
From simple tape measure to 3D High Definition Laser Scan and everything in between, at MDS we can suit the method we use to the needs of our clients. Sometimes there are situations where the 'old school' methods of measured surveys work well and are in fact more suited to the task at hand. Other measured building surveys call for a much more sophisticated approach depending on the information that is required from the survey. Whichever method is chosen, you can be assured that MDS will produce an accurate measured building survey be it 2D AutoCAD or 3D Revit model.
