The client needed a CAD measured survey and a set of existing (as-built) drawings for a ground floor flat in Norwood, South London, including a floor plan, roof plan, two elevations and a long section.
The property was occupied by tenants, so access and timing had to be coordinated carefully to minimise disruption. The client also queried whether an existing agent/lease-style plan could be used, but it was confirmed that a site survey was still required because the document was not a scaled plan suitable for accurate CAD production.
There was also limited access to the full building, with no access to the upstairs flat. This meant the survey approach needed to account for partial access while still capturing the required external information for elevations/overall height references and producing a usable drawing pack.
PlanCraftDaily scheduled a site visit window that worked around tenant availability and the client’s walkthrough. Our surveyor attended site and carried out a measured survey of the accessible areas, capturing the information needed to produce the requested plans, elevations and section, while working within the access constraints.
Following the survey, the drawings were produced in CAD and moved through an internal quality assurance phase. This ensured key elements across the pack aligned (plans, elevations and section), and that the drawings met our drafting standards before being shared.
A draft drawing pack was then issued for client review. After confirmation, the final set was released including the CAD file, PDFs and project photographs, providing the design team with consistent as-built information to work from.

The project concluded with a complete existing drawings pack for the ground floor flat, issued in both DWG and PDF formats alongside site photographs. The client received the specified set (floor plan, roof plan, two elevations and a long section) following draft review and internal QA, giving them a reliable as-built baseline for the next design stage.
