The Measured Survey.

Not all Building Designers are able to complete their own measured surveys. Be wary of any designer requesting to out-source this aspect of their service unless the site is unusually large or complicated. 

THE SURVEY

building survey MarlowIn order for CHP to complete a scheme design, a measured survey will need to be completed of the existing house.  This survey is mainly to establish dimensions so that scaled drawings can be completed. It is not a structural survey to locate existing building faults. Certain assumptions will also have to be made regarding foundations, joist spans, wall constructions etc. as some important elements cannot be viewed without a destructive survey. The survey is usually completed in about 2hrs and access needs to be provided to CHP throughout the entire house and grounds.
