Measured Surveys
A measured survey is the first step in your project journey, providing the foundation for accurate design work. This survey records the existing property layout, allowing for the creation of precise floor plans and elevations to support planning and building regulations applications.
Measured surveys include:
-
Existing floor plans, elevations, and sections
-
A comprehensive base for design and regulatory drawings
-
Identification of site constraints and structural elements
For larger or more complex properties, we use laser scanning technology to achieve high levels of accuracy.

Planning Drawings & Applications
For projects requiring planning permission, we produce high-quality existing and proposed architectural drawings that meet local authority requirements. Our services include:
-
Full planning application drawings, including floor plans, elevations, and site layouts
-
Advice on permitted development rights for projects that may not require full planning permission
-
Submission of applications and liaison with planning officers to help navigate the application process smoothly
Understanding local planning policies is essential for achieving approval. We provide tailored advice to increase the likelihood of a successful application, ensuring compliance with council regulations and design guidelines.
