MEASURED BUILDING SURVEYS CARDIFF
Sova Surveys is the go-to company for fast, accurate and affordable measured building surveys in Cardiff and South West England. We collaborate with top UK architects, applying our specialised expertise to survey diverse properties, including distinctive structures and high-end projects.
These highly accurate, informative drawings or models of a building feature floor plans, elevations, roof plans, ceiling plans and sections. The drawn description of the floor layout shows the positions, locations and measurements of walls, windows, doors and other building elements of interest.
Measurements are taken with the help of both traditional methods and advanced techniques such as terrestrial laser scanners, digital photography and GPS satellite technology. Where you require a brand new set of ‘as built’ drawings or need to update an existing survey, contact Sova Surveys for fast, accurate results that are tailored to your exact requirements.
Our experienced team blends technical expertise and industry knowledge with a proactive approach to deliver exceptional building survey projects. We offer both standard and tailored specifications to meet each client’s unique needs. A selection of our recent projects can be seen here.

FAQs
When is a measured building survey required?
Measured building surveys prove indispensable for substantial refurbishment and redevelopment projects, offering a wealth of precise data at your disposal when it’s most crucial. These surveys also serve valuable purposes in quantity surveying, cost estimation, property valuation, and planning permission applications.
What sort of properties can you survey?
Our measured building surveys are suitable for residential properties and commercial or retail premises of any size or shape to deliver pinpoint accurate measurements for your project. We routinely deal with shops and offices, education and healthcare facilities, industrial units and agricultural buildings, as well as derelict properties and development sites.
