Measured Surveys

RESPONSIVE AND ACCURATE SURVEYORS

For over 30 years our measured surveyors have been applying their expertise to projects across the UK and internationally – surveying individual buildings and entire estates.

In the competitive world of digital construction, data is power; and accurate building data means reworking, rising costs and project delays can be avoided.

This is why architects, contractors, landlords and project teams choose CADS measured surveyors because we’re responsive, accurate and can help you reduce project risk and make informed decisions about your projects.

Our measured surveyors use the latest laser scanners and digital technologies including
AutoCAD and Revit to provide highly accurate digital survey construction data. Our services include:

Laser surveys and point clouds

Quickly and accurately capturing detailed measurements of complex buildings, we will deliver your laser survey data to your desktop, enabling you to start work immediately.

Scan to Revit 3D Modelling Services

Get recent laser survey scan data processed to create 3D Revit models or 2D CAD plans to your specification, which will be supplied directly to your desktops, so you can and your project team can start working immediately, whereever you are based.

Measured building surveys

CADS Survey Team is knowledgeable and practiced in surveying a wide range of building types, including historic, commercial, retail and industrial buildings.

Survey for BIM

We can deliver our surveys as a BIM ready 3D Revit model, providing an accurate base model that you can use to develop your detailed design.

Topographic surveys

Mapping your site, its features and topography is normally the first stage of any development project, which is why delivering data you can rely on is so important to us.

GIS and asset information

Helping clients to achieve asset management cost and efficiency savings by providing expertise in creating, maintaining, updating and analyse asset-based information.

Multi-sector surveying experience

We have the capacity to swiftly deploy our surveying team across multiple sites for large refurbishment projects.
We work on Construction and Retail projects, as well as Public Sector schemes and have the capability to survey historic buildings to meet Historic England’s requirements.

We also have surveyors across the country conducting National Housing Surveys, in partnership with the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) and on behalf of the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG). Find out more information about the Housing Surveys here.

Excelling at project roll-outs

We’ve been delivering estate-wide project roll-out surveys since 1984.
We can complete refurbishment programmes for stores and branches across Europe and internationally.
We have the capacity to visit multiple locations and capture survey data in a consistent format within a set timeframe.

Our team has a tried and tested programme delivery method, honed from many years’ experience,
which ensures clients achieve the data they need for their demanding retail fit-out schedules.

“Having C A Design Services on board meant we were able to establish a high level of detail from the offset. The standard of accuracy we required for the Bloomberg auditorium fit-out could not have been achieved without the good data that digital technology enabled us to capture.”
Mark Hazell | Project Manager – TMJ Interiors

We will build our survey specification around your individual requirements and can help you develop an appropriate

to your computer desktop within hours of a survey.
