Measured Building Surveys
We undertake Measured Building Surveys providing you with detailed & accurate plans to the appropriate scale. As well as floor plans we provide elevations, internally & externally, cross sections & ceiling plans.
Land Registry Compliant Lease Plans
We prepare Land Registry Compliant Lease Plans which are completed by a qualified chartered surveyor.
Land Registry compliant plans are often required when either registering a new lease, or when a new boundary needs to be established for the purpose of sale.
Our compliant plans include the following;
Drawn to scale
Indicate a north point
Include no disclaimers, for example “for information purposes only”
Include all land associated with the property, such as garages, outbuildings and gardens
Display an Ordnance Survey extract
Indicate all measurements that relate to scaled measurements (wherever possible)
The location must be clear, and include all roads, junctions and landmarks
Show all buildings in their exact location and position all drives and pathways correctly
Include all separate areas of the building, including additional properties and parking
Complicated or intricate boundaries should be pulled out onto a larger scale or insert plan
Our compliant plans give you peace of mind that your plans will not be rejected which saves both time and money.
3D Visualisations
All of our drawings are prepared using three dimensions building information modelling software.
Whether your project is a large scale development or a more minor scheme our 3D visualisations show your proposals in context with the surrounding environment.
We provide both external and internal 3D rendered visuals to assist your understanding of the proposals and how your scheme could look, in a way that cannot be achieved from 2D drawings. As well as assisting your understanding of the design, this can also be beneficial during the planning and construction phases of the project.
