Residential Measured Survey & Existing Drawings in NW7, London
NW7, North West London

PROJECT BRIEF

The client needed a DWG measured survey of a residential property in NW7, including the entire plot (front and rear gardens) with levels and external features, plus external elevations and drawing outputs suitable for onward design work. They also requested the front elevation outline of the two adjacent buildings to show the relationship in building heights.

The brief included optional internal information (plans and a section). The programme was time-sensitive, with the survey requested as soon as possible and a clear expectation for CAD turnaround after site work.

WORK COMPLETED

PlanCraftDaily scheduled site attendance and assigned surveyors for both the measured site survey and the topographical component, coordinating access and arrival windows with the client team.

Following the site visit, we produced an “Existing” drawing package covering the requested building and site information. The set included two floor plans, a roof plan, four elevations, one section, and a site/location plan, compiled and issued as final drawings and related files.

OUTCOME

The client received a complete existing-condition baseline for the property and plot, including external context information and a full drawing set to support the next stages of design and coordination. Final drawings were issued as a consolidated package in DWG/PDF formats, aligned to the requirements set out at the start of the project.

STEPS

01. Brief & scope confirmation

We confirmed the required survey scope and drawing outputs: full plot coverage with levels and external features, external elevations, and adjacent-building context to show height relationships. We also clarified the drawing list for the “Existing” package, including floor plans, roof plan, elevations, section, and site/location plan.

02. Scheduling & access coordination

Site attendance was provisionally booked for Saturday 8th November, with arrival windows coordinated for both site survey and topographical survey activities. Contact details and access arrangements were aligned with the client team to support efficient on-site progress.

03. Measured building + topographical survey on site

Surveyors captured measured internal and external building information alongside plot details, levels, and notable external features. Additional context was recorded to produce the required front elevation outlines of adjacent properties, ensuring height relationships could be represented accurately in the final drawing set.

04. CAD drafting of existing drawings

Using the survey data, we drafted the complete existing drawing package: two floor plans, one roof plan, four elevations, one section, and a site/location plan. Outputs were prepared for practical use in design coordination and onward project stages.
