Measured survey
detailed, accurate representation
A measured survey provides a detailed, accurate representation of a building’s dimensions, including floor plans, elevations, and key architectural features. This service is particularly beneficial for homeowners, architects, surveyors, and developers working with listed or historic buildings.
The precise data gathered helps assess the property's current condition, identify any structural or spatial issues, and plan for repairs or renovations. By offering a clear understanding of the building's layout, a measured survey ensures that future work complies with heritage regulations, preserving the building’s integrity for homeowners and professionals alike.
Condition survey
Following a measured survey, a condition survey can be produced to provide a comprehensive overview of the building’s current health. This detailed assessment highlights areas in need of attention, identifying any structural issues, deterioration, or defects.
By pinpointing these areas, we can recommend the best course of action for repairs and maintenance, ensuring the preservation of the building’s integrity. This service is particularly beneficial for planning future conservation work, helping you prioritise interventions that are essential for maintaining the long-term health and stability of your listed property.

Whether as part of a broader conservation plan or to focus on immediate issues, our building defects report equips you with the information needed to preserve your property’s integrity.

Photogrammetry surveys
We are proud to offer photogrammetry surveys, a cutting-edge technology that brings modern innovation to the historic and traditional building industry.
This advanced survey technique allows us to capture every contour and detail of a structure with incredible precision, producing a highly accurate 3D model with accuracy levels within 1-3mm. Photogrammetry surveys provide a detailed visual representation, making it easier to assess the building’s condition, plan repairs, and document its current state.
This service is invaluable for conservation projects, offering a modern solution that respects the craftsmanship and complexity of historic structures.
Drone Surveys
Cost Effective High-level inspections
Our drone surveys offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional high-level inspections, eliminating the need for expensive scaffolding and access equipment. This service allows us to quickly and safely survey hard-to-reach areas, such as rooftops, chimneys, and other elevated structures, without the disruption or high costs associated with scaffolding.
The high-resolution imagery captured by the drone provides a detailed view of any potential issues, helping us identify damage, deterioration, or structural concerns at height. With drone surveys, we can assess your building’s condition efficiently and accurately, ensuring a thorough inspection while saving you both time and money.
