Angell Surveys provides professional measured building survey services across the UK, combining RICS-qualified expertise with the latest drone technology and laser scanning to deliver accurate floor plans, elevations, sections, and 3D models for architectural, engineering, and heritage projects. Our measured surveys are produced to the accuracy and format standards required by architects, structural engineers, and planning authorities.
A measured building survey (MBS) is a precise record of a building’s existing physical form — its dimensions, layout, structure, and features — captured and drawn to an agreed scale and accuracy. Measured surveys are the essential starting point for any building project involving alteration, extension, refurbishment, or change of use, providing the accurate baseline from which architects and engineers can develop their designs.
Our approach combines terrestrial laser scanning with drone photogrammetry for exterior elevations, producing a comprehensive point cloud dataset from which all drawings are extracted. This ensures spatial consistency across all outputs — floor plans, elevations, sections, and 3D models are all derived from the same measured dataset.
All drawings are supplied in DWG and PDF format, coordinated to OS National Grid or a project-specific datum. We work to RICS Measured Survey specification (3rd edition) as standard, and can meet bespoke client accuracy requirements on request.
Survey time depends on the size and complexity of the building. A typical two-storey house takes half a day on site, with drawings delivered within 5–7 working days. Larger commercial or industrial buildings may require a full day or more on site. We provide a programme estimate at the time of quoting.
We survey to RICS Grade 2 or Grade 3 accuracy as standard, achieving positional accuracy of ±5–10mm for Grade 2 and ±10–15mm for Grade 3. For projects requiring tighter tolerances — such as structural steelwork connections or historic building recording — we can work to Grade 1 (±5mm) using our high-accuracy laser scanning equipment.
Yes. We regularly carry out measured surveys of listed buildings, scheduled ancient monuments, and historic structures across the UK. Our non-contact laser scanning and photogrammetry methods are fully compatible with heritage recording requirements and do not require any physical intervention or surface contact.
A measured building survey is a precise and detailed record of a building’s dimensions and layout. Using advanced tools such as laser scanners and 3D laser scanning technology, we capture accurate measurements of every architectural and structural element within a property. These surveys are crucial for various applications, including renovation, restoration, space planning, and obtaining planning permission.
Our team at Angell Surveys uses modern technology to ensure that every detail is captured with the highest level of accuracy. This comprehensive data collection enables the creation of precise 2D and 3D representations of the building, which are invaluable for architects, engineers, and construction professionals.
