Residential Measured Building Survey & As-Built Drawings in Romford

PROJECT BRIEF

The client needed a full measured site survey with accurate as-built drawings for a residential property in Romford, including plans, sections and elevations. In addition to the main building, the scope required detailed checks on internal heights, roof ridge height, door and window sizes, wall thicknesses, and any other critical measurements that might affect design decisions.

The survey also needed to include the detached garage and specific site information such as the position of manholes. Access coordination was time-sensitive, with instructions for the surveyor to contact the client on arrival to be let into the property. The client requested clear visual context as well, via site photographs and a video walkthrough.

WORK COMPLETED

PlanCraftDaily scheduled a site visit and confirmed an arrival protocol so access could be provided smoothly on the day. On site, the surveyor carried out a comprehensive measured survey to capture the geometry needed for reliable as-built outputs: floor plans, elevations and sections.

Measurements included floor-to-ceiling heights, roof ridge height, garage dimensions, and the sizes and heights of doors and windows. Additional checks covered wall thicknesses, the position of manholes, and any other critical dimensions flagged during the survey.

Following the sitework, the drawing pack was quality-checked before issue. The final handover included CAD and PDF drawings, supported by photographs and a video walkthrough to provide visual confirmation of site conditions.

OUTCOME

The client received a complete measured survey drawing pack for the Romford property, with key heights, openings, wall thicknesses, garage measurements and manhole positions captured. Alongside the drawings, the site photographs and walkthrough video provided clear visual context, supporting confident review and onward project coordination. Any additional programme details or downstream use of the drawings were not provided.

STEPS

01.

Confirm brief and scope

We confirmed the survey requirements: full measured site survey with plans, sections and elevations, plus floor-to-ceiling heights, roof ridge height, garage dimensions, door/window sizes, wall thicknesses, manhole positions and any critical measurements. Access instructions were agreed so the surveyor could contact the client upon arrival.

02.

Schedule and access coordination

A survey slot was arranged within the agreed date window, with clear instructions for arrival and access. The client contact details and approach (call ahead / contact on arrival) were recorded to reduce delays and ensure the survey could begin promptly once on site.

03.

On-site measured building survey

Our surveyor captured the internal and external measurements needed for accurate as-built drawings. This included levels and heights (floor-to-ceiling and ridge), openings (door/window sizes and heights), wall thicknesses, garage measurements, and key site elements such as the position of manholes, plus any other critical dimensions noted during the visit.

04.

CAD drafting and quality checks

Survey information was translated into a structured drawing set: floor plans, elevations and sections. The drawing pack was checked for completeness against the scope—heights, openings, wall thicknesses, garage data, and any critical measurements—before moving to final issue.
