 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sova Surveys- very competitive pricing and Jared obviously knows what he is doing with topo surveys. Although he had a subsequent problem with his computer and this delayed the topo from coming through, he was excellent a service recovery and gave me a great price on some drone footage of the site and sent these through promptly. Thank you Sova Surveys- I will recommend you!

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.
