Measured Building Surveys
Measured building surveys provide an accurate record of a property’s existing layout, dimensions, and features. At Restormel Architectural Services, surveys are carried out across Cornwall using professional methods to ensure dependable data from the outset of your project.
These surveys typically include floor plans, elevations, and sectional information, recording walls, openings, ceiling heights, and structural elements. Accurate survey information is essential when planning extensions, renovations, or internal alterations, helping to avoid design errors and unexpected issues during construction.
Measured building surveys are particularly valuable for older properties where original drawings may be missing or unreliable. By working from precise, real-world measurements, designs can be developed confidently and efficiently. Whether for residential or commercial projects, measured surveys form the backbone of well-informed planning and design decisions.
Facade Surveys
Facade surveys focus on accurately recording a building’s external elevations. These surveys capture dimensions, materials, architectural details, and openings, providing a clear representation of the building’s appearance.
They are commonly required for planning applications, conservation work, and projects where changes to external appearance are proposed. Accurate elevation information helps designs respond sensitively to existing proportions and surrounding context, supporting smoother planning discussions.
Facade surveys are especially useful in conservation areas or for properties where visual impact is a key consideration.
Heritage Surveys
Heritage surveys are undertaken with care and attention to historic detail. These surveys accurately document traditional construction methods, materials, and architectural features found in listed and historic buildings across Cornwall.
The information gathered supports sensitive design, heritage impact assessments, and Listed Building Consent applications. Understanding the building fully allows changes to be planned in a way that respects its character and significance.
Heritage surveys provide a reliable foundation for conservation-led projects and informed engagement with planning and heritage officers.
Survey Data Outputs
Survey data is presented in clear, practical formats suitable for use by designers, consultants, and contractors. Outputs may include CAD drawings, digital plans, or other formats required for planning and technical stages.
Accurate survey outputs improve coordination, reduce risk, and help ensure consistency throughout the project lifecycle — from early design through to construction.
