Floor Plan Surveys

Working closely with our approved partner Rendered Image, we provided the required information to produce the accurate photomontage.
Verified views offer an accurate visual representation of a proposed site and are often requested by the planning authority to support applications for developments.

Using our Leica total station we provide coordinates and levels for the camera positions and then known ‘key’ reference points seen in the photo to enable these photos to be altered accurately.

These surveys are a great way to accurate visualise the impact a new proposed development may have on the surrounding land or to simple see how the proposed site would fit in with the surrounding area.

The relatively new technology of 3D Laser Scanning is a non-contact technology that digitally captures the shape of physical objects using a line of laser light. 3D laser scanners create ‘point clouds’ of data from the surface of an object. In other words, 3D laser scanning is a way to capture a physical object’s exact size and shape.

Using either our Leica P40 scanner or our FARO X 130 3D scanner enables us to record information from site accurately and quickly and in a format that can easily be transferred into design drawings.

Our specialist team of experienced surveyors are able to capture data at a rate of up to 1 million points per second, as a result measurements can be made quickly and easily without return visits to site.

We currently offer the use of the laser scanner for various different services:

Detailed measured building surveys
Street scene elevation surveys
Highway surveys
As-Built surveys
Monitoring
Heritage scanning for posterity
Inaccessible and hazardous locations

We can present the data to you in the following formats:

2D drawings (Elevations, Cross Sections, Floor Plans)
Point Cloud
3D Model
BIM / Revit Models

Any land (or elevations) with contours depict the ‘undulations’ on the surface of the site or area in question and these are normally shown at quarter or half metre intervals related to the site or Ordnance Survey Grid System and height datum. On elevations these can show irregularities with the contours depicted at 5 − 10mm and could show ‘sags or bulges’ in the façade or structure. Data supplied by CD Surveys or by a third party can be processed, then presented as a fully edited three dimensional Digital Terrain Model (DTM) for the use in Engineering Design on Micro station MX (MOSS) or the PDS design systems.
