Why an accurate survey matters
- Planning drawings based on guesswork can be rejected or cause problems on site
- Structural engineers and builders need real dimensions to design and price accurately
- Small errors in wall thickness or floor levels become expensive mistakes later
What we record
- Room dimensions, wall thicknesses, and door and window positions
- Floor-to-ceiling heights and floor levels
- Roof shape and pitch, loft space and chimneys
- External elevations and boundaries
- Visible drainage, manholes and services
- Photographs throughout
- Constraints worth knowing about early: trees, neighbouring windows, level changes
