Measured Building and Topographical Surveys

Accurate survey information is the foundation of good design and informed decision-making.

Williams Survey & Design provides professional measured building and topographical surveys for homeowners, designers, developers and construction professionals throughout Lancashire and the wider North West.

Using professional surveying equipment, we record the existing buildings or site and sites and produce clear, accurate drawings suitable for planning, design development, Building Regulations and construction purposes.

Topographical Surveys

Topographical surveys record the physical features and levels of a site. These may include:

  • Site boundaries and visible features, including walls, fences and hedges

  • Ground levels and changes in elevation

  • Buildings, walls, fences and access points

  • Trees and significant vegetation

  • Roads, paths, visible drainage features and Identifiable service covers

  • Contours and spot levels

  • Relationship to neighbouring structures

The information can support planning applications, site development, drainage design, landscaping and construction setting-out.

Measured Building Surveys

Measured building surveys provide an accurate record of an existing property. Depending on the project requirements, the survey may include:

  • Floor plans and principal dimensions

  • External elevations

  • Building heights and levels

  • Doors, windows and structural features

  • Roof forms and visible construction details

  • Relevant drainage and external features

  • Information required for proposed alterations or extensions

Drawings can be supplied in PDF and CAD formats, providing a reliable base for architects, designers, engineers and Contractors.

A Survey Tailored to the Project

Every building and site is different. The required survey detail, accuracy and drawing package will therefore be agreed before work begins. This ensures that the survey records the information needed for the project without unnecessary cost or complexity.

Where legal boundaries, underground services or specialist engineering information require formal verification, additional investigation by an appropriately qualified specialist may be recommended.
