Sectors We Serve
Measured Surveys | Precise As-Built Drawings & 3D Models | Civil Connect PLC
Before you can redesign, refurbish, or re-imagine a space, you need to understand it perfectly. At Civil Connect PLC, we create precise and highly detailed measured building surveys that provide the critical “as-is” data you can build on. Our surveys serve as the single source of truth for your project, eliminating guesswork and preventing costly errors down the line.
Forming the Digital Foundation for Your Renovation, Development, and Management Projects.
What is a Measured Building Survey?
A measured building survey is the intricate process of capturing the exact dimensions and structural details of a property. Using state-of-the-art equipment, our experienced surveyors produce a comprehensive set of digital drawings and models that accurately represent the building as it stands today.
Our standard surveys can be tailored to your exact needs, and typically include:
Detailed Floor Plans: Capturing all architectural features, including walls, doors, windows, and fixtures.
External & Internal Elevations: Showing the building’s façade and internal wall details with precise levels.
Cross-Sections: Providing a clear view through the building at critical points to show floor and ceiling heights and structural arrangements.
Reflected Ceiling Plans: Mapping out features such as lighting, beams, and services located on the ceiling.
Who Needs This Service?
We provide essential data for a wide range of professionals across Watford, Hertfordshire, and the London area.
For Architects & Designers: Our surveys provide the accurate canvas you need for your design work, integrating seamlessly into your CAD and BIM workflows for renovation, extension, or conservation projects.
For Structural Engineers: We deliver precise structural layouts, column positions, and beam levels, forming the reliable basis for your analysis and calculations.
For Property Developers: Our data is fundamental for feasibility studies, space planning, and securing planning permission, giving you a clear understanding of your asset.
For Estate Agents & Asset Managers: We can produce compliant Gross Internal Area (GIA) and Net Internal Area (NIA) calculations for leasing, valuation, and property management.
Our Technology & Process
We combine traditional surveying principles with modern technology to deliver exceptional results. Our primary method involves using High-Definition 3D Laser Scanners to capture millions of measurement points, creating a comprehensive and incredibly accurate “point cloud” of the entire building. This data is then processed by our skilled technicians using the latest CAD and modelling software.
This technology-led approach means our surveys are not only more accurate but also faster and less intrusive than traditional methods.
Our Deliverables
Every project is unique, and our outputs are tailored to match. Your final deliverable package can include:
2D CAD Drawings in DWG, DXF, and PDF formats.
3D Revit Models for seamless integration into your BIM (Building Information Modelling) process.
Raw Point Cloud Data for specialist analysis.
Lease Plans & Area Calculations (GIA/NIA).
