Measured Building Surveys Birmingham

Precision Surveys for Birmingham Projects

Birmingham’s mix of historic red-brick factories, post-war housing, and modern commercial hubs demands absolute precision. A measured building survey provides a reliable, scaled record of your property — internal and external — to support everything from planning applications to large-scale redevelopment. For architects, engineers, and planners working across the West Midlands, these surveys form the foundation of confident design decisions.

What a Measured Survey Includes

Every project in Birmingham, whether it’s a warehouse redevelopment in Digbeth or a student accommodation scheme in Selly Oak , benefits from detailed outputs such as:

2D CAD drawings for floor plans, sections and elevations
3D BIM/Revit models for collaborative design across large teams
Point cloud datasets for highly visual and interactive exploration
File formats including DWG, RVT, PDF, E57 and RCP

These deliverables ensure all stakeholders, from planners at Birmingham City Council to heritage officers protecting listed buildings in the Jewellery Quarter, can work from consistent, trusted data.

Accuracy & Standards Across the West Midlands

Using 3D laser scanners and precision total stations , our surveys achieve typical accuracy levels of ±5 mm , complying with RICS and TSA standards. This is particularly valuable in Birmingham, where projects often involve complex industrial sites or heritage properties that require meticulous recording.
