A Measured Site Survey is a critical step for architects, designers, and property developers who require highly accurate plans for their projects. Whether you’re renovating a home, constructing a new building, or modifying an existing structure, having precise site measurements is essential for avoiding costly errors. At MLP, we offer professional measured surveys that result in detailed CAD drawings, ensuring a seamless workflow for your architectural and engineering needs.

What is a Measured Site Survey?

A Measured Site Survey involves taking accurate dimensions and details of a building or site to create as-built CAD drawings. These drawings provide essential information on the structure’s layout, elevations, and sections. Our surveys cover everything from floor plans and roof plans to structural elements like manholes, drainage points, and parking spaces.

Why Are Measured Site Surveys Essential?

• Accuracy: Prevents design errors by providing exact measurements.
• Cost-Savings: Reduces unexpected costs due to incorrect specifications.
• Regulatory Compliance: Ensures adherence to building regulations and planning permissions.
• Efficiency: Speeds up the design process for architects and engineers.
• Customization: Clients receive drawings tailored to their project needs.
