Measured Building Surveys
Sova Surveys are one of the UK’s premier providers of measured building surveys. These are highly accurate and informative drawings or models of a building featuring floorplans, sections and elevations. We deliver a drawn description of the floor layout including indications of the positions, locations and measurements of walls, doors, windows and other building-related items of interest.
Measurements for the survey are taken using a variety of the latest and up to date tools and advanced techniques including terrestrial laser scanners, digital photography, 360 imagery and GPS satellite technology.
Whether you are looking to update existing surveys or create a brand new set of ‘as built’ drawings, we have the experience and know-how to deliver fast, accurate results.
What Our Clients Say
Surveying Across Bristol’s Varied Property Landscape
Bristol has a broad mix of older properties, residential neighbourhoods, commercial buildings and redevelopment sites, which means survey requirements can vary considerably from one project to the next.
Our work can support everything from extensions and refurbishment schemes to conversions, commercial projects and larger development sites.
Accurate building and site information is especially useful where existing layouts have changed over time, where access or site constraints need to be understood, or where older and historic properties require a more detailed record before design work begins.
We agree the survey scope around the property, site and intended use so the information provided is appropriate for the next stage of the project.

Who Our Surveying Services Are For
Architects and architectural practices
We provide accurate building and site information to support extensions, refurbishments, planning applications and design development, giving architects a reliable record of existing conditions to work from.
Property developers
Our surveying services can support redevelopment, conversion and refurbishment projects by providing accurate information about existing buildings, sites and surrounding land before design or construction decisions are made.
Property owners
For owners planning alterations, extensions or refurbishment work, we can provide the survey information needed to understand the existing property and support the next stage of the project.
Contractors and project teams
We provide clear, reliable survey data to support planning and coordination across construction and development projects, from existing building layouts and levels to the agreed drawings and digital information required by the project team.
Survey Outputs and File Formats
The level of detail and required outputs depend on how the survey information will be used. We agree the required outputs for each Bristol project so the finished survey is suitable for the needs of the wider design or project team.
Depending on the agreed scope, outputs can include:
- measured floor plans and roof plans
- external and internal elevations
- building sections and cross sections
- 3D Revit models
- IFC files and other BIM-ready formats
- reflected ceiling plans
- orthographic images
- 2D CAD drawings
Where laser scanning is used, point cloud data can also support the production of accurate 2D drawings and 3D models.
