Measured Building Surveys (MBS)
A measured building survey (MBS) is a highly detailed representation of a building. It includes precise data on features like walls, doors, windows, floor levels, and structural elements. We provide everything from floor plans to building sections, roof plans, and internal or external elevations.
Accuracy is key. We use high-spec 3D laser scanning equipment to capture every aspect of your structure. This allows us to produce accurate CAD plans and drawings quickly and efficiently. Whether you’re planning renovations, conversions, or refurbishments, our MBS service ensures your design is built on solid foundations.
Our MBS surveys are used by:
- Architects
- Developers
- Engineers
- Planning consultants
- Interior designers

Topographical Land Surveys In Stamford and Peterborough
A topographical survey maps out the features of a site or landscape. It covers both natural and man-made elements. This includes contours, boundaries, roads, vegetation, structures, and utilities.
We produce 2D topographical drawings and with full 2D and 3D topo data. These can be used for planning applications, site plans, and development projects.
Our topographical surveyors work across Stamford, Peterborough, and nearby towns. We supply data in your preferred format, whether that’s CAD, PDF, or Compatible Point Cloud files. (.RCP .e57.PTX .LAS and others)
Planning a site development? Let our topographical land survey service provide the base you need.
3D Laser Scanning & Survey Scanning
3D Laser scanning allows for rapid, high-precision data capture. Using advanced survey scanning equipment, we generate rich point cloud data which forms the basis for accurate 2D and 3D models.
This method is non-intrusive and ideal for sensitive sites, including heritage surveys. It helps to avoid measurement errors and significantly reduces time on site.
Laser scanning is especially valuable for complex structures, inaccessible areas, or buildings that require minimal disruption during survey work.
Applications of laser scanning include:
- Point Cloud data for Modelling (BIM)
- Architecture and construction planning
- Interior design and refurbishments
- Structural assessments
- Historical building documentation
Harness the power of 3D laser scanning to get an accurate picture of your project area.
Why Use 3D Laser Scanners in Measured Building Surveys
3D laser scanning has transformed the way measured surveys are carried out. It improves speed, accuracy, and safety across the board.
For commercial sites, laser technology captures precise layouts without interrupting daily operations. For residential properties, it ensures minimal disturbance to occupants. Educational and health care facilities benefit from quick, non-invasive methods.
In hospitality and retail spaces, design teams rely on detailed scans for layout planning and fit-outs. Agricultural buildings often have complex layouts and variable conditions – laser scanning simplifies their documentation.
For heritage surveys, laser scanning ensures no feature is overlooked. Decorative elements, age-worn textures, and structural quirks are captured in minute detail.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a measured building survey? A measured building survey (MBS) is a detailed and accurate representation of a building’s structure. It includes dimensions, features, and layout in the form of CAD drawings.
2. How long does a measured survey take? It depends on the size and complexity of the building. A small house may take a few hours. A large commercial or heritage site could take a day or more. Processing and drawing follow after.
3. What format will I receive the drawings in? We deliver CAD (.dwg), PDF, and other formats upon request.
4. Why is 3D laser scanning better than traditional methods? Laser scanning captures more detail, faster and more safely. It reduces human error and allows for richer models.
5. Do you offer topographical surveys for rural properties? Yes. We survey land in villages, farms, and remote areas using 2D and 3D topo techniques.
6. Can you survey listed or historic buildings? Absolutely. We offer full heritage survey services using non-intrusive laser scanning.
7. What is included in a topographical survey? It includes land contours, site features, boundaries, roads, drainage, and vegetation. Delivered in 2D or 3D CAD electronic file format.
