Measured Building Surveys
We are delighted to be known as one of the UK’s leading measured building survey companies. These are highly accurate, informative drawings/models of a building featuring floor plans, roof plans, external and internal elevations, ceiling plans and sections. A drawn description of the floor layout will include positions, locations and measurements of building related items such as walls, doors and windows, and significant level changes.
Measurements for the survey are captured via advanced technologies including digital photography, terrestrial laser scanning, 360 imagery and GPS satellite technology.
Whether you would like to create a new set of ‘as built’ drawings for your building project in London or need to update existing drawings, Sova Surveys will deliver fast, accurate results that are tailored to your needs and requirements.

FAQs
A measured building survey (MBS) is a highly accurate representation of a building’s layout, floor plans, sections and elevations, including structural elements and architectural features such as walls, ceilings, doors, windows and more. It uses a combination of traditional surveying methods and the latest technology such as laser scanners and digital photography, GPS technology, 2D CAD drawings, 3D Revit models, IFC files and other 3D BIM formats.
Measured building surveys are a valuable tool for major building refurbishments or developments, providing accurate information where you need it. This type of survey is also useful for quantity surveying, estimating and property valuation purposes.
When making changes to your property, in certain circumstances planning permission will be required. Our surveys can be used as in integral part of the application process.
Depending on the client’s unique requirements, we typically provide floor plans, sections, elevations and orthographic images. We are able to tailor our survey to heritage standard and listed buildings, where the additional detail included in the measured building survey can make all the difference.
At Sova Surveys, we totally understand the importance of minimising inconvenience and disruption to the client during a site inspection. That is why we try to make the whole process as discreet and efficient as possible. Contact with items in the property are kept to a minimum. Our normal hours of operation are 8am-6pm but we can attend out of hours as required, and are available at short notice.
A measured survey records key existing building information such as floor plans and cross sections, internal and external elevations. As such, they can be a useful tool for any stakeholder involved in the redevelopment, renovation or extension of a property, including building architects, interior designers and construction firms, property developers, private estates and private homeowners. Traditionally, surveys are produced as 2D CAD drawings, but the industry is moving more and more towards 3D BIM.
