Accurate drawings. Built on real measurements.
A measured survey Barnet homeowners, architects and developers can rely on — floor plans, elevations and sections recorded on site and delivered as clean, scaled drawings you can build on, from the 1930s semis of Finchley to the period homes of Mill Hill.
A measured survey Barnet projects depend on starts with one thing — getting the numbers right the first time. Whether you are extending a 1930s semi in Finchley or converting a family home in Mill Hill, a few millimetres can change everything. That is why so many local projects begin with a proper survey rather than a rough sketch.
We are Plan Craft Daily, a UK-based survey and drawing company. We turn real buildings into clear, dependable drawings. A measured survey is an accurate record of a building or site. We measure the property, then turn those measurements into scaled drawings that architects, planners and builders all work from.
Barnet is one of London’s greenest and most suburban boroughs, full of interwar semis, larger detached homes and pockets of period housing. Many properties have been extended over the years. Walls lean. Floors slope. Ceilings vary from room to room. A quick tape measure rarely captures the truth. Our team uses proper survey tools to record what is really there — so the result is a drawing you can trust, build on, and submit with confidence.
Every project is a little different. Still, most surveys cover the same core ground. Typically, you receive:
We can also record drainage, manholes and site boundaries when needed. In short, you get a full picture, not just a rough outline. And because Barnet is full of period homes that have shifted over time, a fresh survey clears up the confusion that old, inaccurate plans leave behind.
From a single flat in North Finchley to a whole building near High Barnet, the approach stays the same — measure carefully, then draw clearly.
The interwar semi-detached homes that define Finchley, Whetstone and Hendon borders, recorded exactly as they are.
The larger detached houses of Mill Hill, Totteridge and Hadley Wood, measured floor by floor.
Period conversions, new-build flats and commercial units across High Barnet and North Finchley.
Share the property and what you need. We confirm scope and a clear quote.
We carry out the survey on site using survey-grade equipment.
We turn the data into clean, scaled CAD drawings, checked before delivery.
You receive editable DWG and PDF files, ready to use.
Sometimes a building survey is not enough. If you are working with the land too, a topographical survey maps levels, boundaries, trees and drainage across the plot. This matters for extensions, new builds and landscaping. We can combine both surveys when a project needs the full picture.
Architects need a reliable starting point. Our existing drawings show the property as it stands today, so designers can plan changes with confidence. No guesswork, no re-measuring — just a clean base to design upon.
Selling or letting a property? You may need a lease plan that meets Land Registry standards, or it gets rejected. We prepare compliant lease plans that show the demised area clearly, so your paperwork moves forward without delay.
Wherever your property sits in Barnet, our team can reach it.

Working across Barnet means handling everything from compact interwar semis in Finchley to large detached homes on generous plots in Totteridge and Hadley Wood. Several areas sit within conservation areas, and bigger plots often involve outbuildings and boundaries worth recording carefully. We understand these realities, so we plan around them — which means fewer delays and a smoother survey day for everyone.
Planning a change that needs permission? Accurate existing and proposed drawings sit at the heart of any application. We prepare the existing drawings your architect needs to develop proposed plans for submission to Barnet Council. Good drawings give your application the best possible start.
They are not the same thing. A measured survey records the exact dimensions of a building and turns them into scaled drawings. A building survey inspects the condition of a property and reports on defects. We provide measured surveys and the drawings that come from them.
In most cases, yes. Your architect needs accurate existing drawings to design an extension that fits. Without them, the design is based on guesswork, which can cause problems during planning and on site.
We cover the whole borough, including EN5, N12, NW7, N3, N20 and N2. That spans High Barnet, North Finchley, Mill Hill, Finchley, Whetstone, East Finchley, Hendon and Totteridge, among others.
Very accurate. We use survey-grade equipment and check every drawing before delivery. Our goal is drawings you can build on with full confidence, every time.
Yes. Many architects ask us to work in their template, layers and title block. Just share your standards, and we will follow them so the drawings match your house style.
It depends on the property and the drawings you need. Smaller jobs move fast, while larger ones take a little longer. We always agree timescales upfront, so you know what to expect.
