Equipment Used in Measured Building Survey
We use the following equipment for our measured survey in Essex:
Laser Measure: A laser tape measure is the electronic version of a metal tape measure. It is used to determine the width and height of a building, measuring up to 200 meters with a 2-millimetre accuracy.
Tape Measure: For a measured building survey, a standard tape measure will also be employed. The surveyor will carry and use traditional tape to quickly take minor measurements.
Camera: For measured building surveys, digital cameras with high resolution and infrared vision are highly useful. They are used to take detailed and clear photographs of a structure. The cameras used will have built-in Wi-Fi, allowing photographs to be immediately passed on to a device.
Protective Gear: Surveyors will use protective equipment such as safety shoes, helmets, and hand gloves to ensure their protection and compliance with the safety regulations.
What Does a Measured Building Survey Show?
- External elevations depict a building’s exterior façade. Every detail is noted and measured. Window placement, guttering, and waste stacks, as well as intricate stained glass window roses, are examples of details.
- Internal elevations can reveal the exact dimensions of walls, doors, beams, and windows, all the way down to sanitary ware and electrical outlets.
- Floor plans are precise measurements of the floor in any building. A floor plan can highlight any changes in floor level, allowing architects and designers to show how they might want to level things out for a better flow through the structure.
- A 3D point cloud model will be generated from a scanned survey, and it will provide a complete walkthrough of the building.
- A section shows precise measurements of everything present in a particular space by splitting it internally, including the beam’s width and depth, window placements, etc.
