About the Survey Process:
Q: How long does a survey take?
A: The duration of a survey depends on the size of the area and the type of survey required. For example, a measured building survey of a three-bedroom house in Birmingham using a laser scanner typically takes 4–5 hours on-site. The data processing and production of a full set of drawings—including floor plans, elevations, and sections—can take 2–3 days in the office. Larger or more complex projects may require additional time.
Q: What do I need to do before the survey?
A: To ensure a smooth and efficient survey, please:
Provide access – Ensure that all areas to be surveyed are accessible, including locked rooms, lofts, or external spaces.
Clear obstacles – Remove any large furniture, vehicles, or objects that might obstruct scanning or measurement.
Inform occupants – If the property is occupied, let residents or staff know about the survey to avoid disruptions.
Share relevant documents – If available, provide existing floor plans, site drawings, or title deeds to help with the process.
Arrange permissions – If the survey involves third-party land or shared spaces, obtain necessary permissions in advance.
