Precision Surveys for Leeds Properties
Leeds is a city of contrasts: historic Victorian arcades, industrial heritage in Holbeck, and modern glass towers in the city centre. A measured building survey records every wall, floor, and façade with high accuracy, producing scaled drawings and models that architects, developers, and homeowners across Leeds rely on for planning, design, and refurbishment.
Deliverables for Leeds Projects
Whether you are extending a domestic property in Roundhay , redeveloping commercial units near the Headrow, or modernising student accommodation in Headingley, Terrain Surveys tailors outputs to your needs. Typical deliverables include:
- 2D CAD drawings of floor plans, elevations, and cross-sections
- 3D Revit/BIM models for collaborative design workflows
- Point cloud data in E57, RCP, or LAS formats
- PDF and DWG drawings for easy reference and sharing
These deliverables give everyone from Leeds City Council planning officers to building contractors a clear, consistent foundation to work from.
