Structural Engineering Service
Measured Surveys London — Structural Engineers
Accurate measured surveys of existing buildings: floor plans, elevations, and cross-sections issued in digital format — forming a reliable base for structural design, planning, and architectural work.
What Is a Measured Survey?
A measured survey is an accurate record of an existing building's layout and dimensions. It captures floor plans, elevations, and cross-sections in a format that can be used directly by architects, structural engineers, and planning consultants.
Without an accurate measured survey, design work proceeds on assumptions about existing conditions — a common source of abortive work and costly changes later in the project.
Combining Surveys with Structural Design
When a measured survey is combined with structural design services, the flow from existing conditions through to completed structural design is significantly streamlined. We can carry out the survey, identify structural elements, and proceed directly to design — eliminating the need for a separate survey appointment and reducing the overall programme.
Digital Deliverables
All survey outputs are issued in digital format, at scale, and suitable for use by the wider design team. We can issue drawings in PDF and DWG format, coordinated with any existing information provided by the client or their architect.
Civil Engineering and Planning Support
Civil engineering design (drainage, SuDS, retaining walls and external works) and planning application support are available alongside this structural package, so the below-ground and planning elements of your project can be coordinated with the structural design under a single appointment.
