MEASURED BUILDING SURVEYS READING
Sova Surveys is the leading provider of swift, precise, and cost-effective measured building surveys in Reading and across Berkshire. We partner with top UK architects, leveraging our specialised expertise to survey a wide range of properties, from Reading’s historic buildings to cutting-edge developments in Thames Valley Business Park.
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 seasoned team combines technical proficiency and extensive industry knowledge with a proactive approach. This enables us to deliver outstanding building survey projects across Reading and the surrounding areas. We offer both standard and bespoke solutions to address each client’s unique requirements.

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.
