Measured surveys

A measured building survey creates a detailed, internal and external map of a building structure. It provides data and information about the key architectural elements and structural features of a building.

Real Scan works with leading architectural practices, developers and homeowners in London and the South East, to scan and deliver accurate representations of building structures.

We can deliver our final measured survey outputs in a range of formats depending on your specific requirements including 3D point cloud data, scaled 2D AutoCAD drawings, 2D and 3D BIM models and much more. Please let us know what you need.

Our Real Scan process for measured surveys

Once you have a confirmed booking for a Real Scan measured survey and submit your payment. Here’s the process for us to create a digital scan of your building:

1. We agree the time for the scan to take place and find out more about your precise requirements and how you plan to use the final data.
2. We allocate the project to one of our surveying team.
3. We go to site at the agreed time and carry out a detailed scan of the building using cutting edge equipment – Leica RTC 360.
4. We create a 3D point cloud, a bit like a dot-to-dot image of every element in a building, which looks like 3D.
5. We transform the 3D point cloud into contours (i.e. 2D layout sections, etc).
6. Then we use this to form the agreed format that you have requested – drawings, 3D model and 2D drawings etc.
