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
In 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.
