Drawing sheets
Readable plans and notes for review.
Survey information for design teams
A clear view
of the
existing site.
We measure sites and buildings and prepare the drawings and digital information your design team needs.

4 layers shown
Ground form, structures, access and trees bring different parts of the site into one view.
The useful detail
starts on site.
Buildings, paths, ground levels and existing features all affect a project. We agree what needs recording before the fieldwork, so the handover answers the brief.
Two ways to record the existing place
The site around it.
The building itself.
Topographic surveys
Ground levels and visible site features recorded within the agreed survey extent.
Measured buildingsPlans, elevations and sections that describe the existing building geometry.
The handover
Information that
fits the next task.
A drawing for an early design conversation and a coordinated digital model have different requirements. We agree the output with the team who will use it.
Explore deliverablesDigital information
Agreed drawing or model formats.
Project context
Scope, references and relevant notes.
Measured buildings
Start the redesign
with the building
that is there.
We prepare measured drawings of the agreed areas and features, giving the design team a record of existing geometry.
Measured-building servicesProject contexts
Different projects.
A shared starting point.
Design & refurbishment
Existing site and building information for architects and project teams developing a change.
Property & estate work
Records prepared around the buildings, spaces and features included in the brief.
Landscape & site planning
Ground and surface information for teams considering the way a site will be used.
A defined process
Agree the scope.
Follow it through.
Briefing, access, fieldwork, drawing preparation and review are connected stages. We keep the intended use of the information in view throughout.
How we workWhat does the
design team need?
The project stage
Tell us what is being planned and the decision the information will support.
The area & features
Define the part of the site or building to be recorded and the features that matter.
The handover
Agree formats, reference requirements and the people who need the information.
Before the
fieldwork.
Do we need a finished design?
No. The survey records existing information. Tell us the stage of your project and what the design team needs to know.
Can site and building work be combined?
Yes. We can coordinate a site and measured-building scope around the project requirements.
Prepare the next step
Tell us what the
project needs to know.
The site, the design stage and the information needed by your team give the survey its scope.
