PROJECT BRIEF

The client needed a measured building survey and existing drawing set for a residential property in North West London. The brief required internal and external survey measurements, including the loft space, along with interior and exterior site photographs.

The drawings were needed as a base existing drawing set, including plans, elevations and a section. The client confirmed that internal elevations and a topographical survey were not required, but requested that the section include the stair from ground to first floor and the loft space.

A key requirement was accuracy around the available loft height. After reviewing the draft drawings, the client asked whether additional roof-section information could be added to better illustrate the available space within the loft.

WORK COMPLETED

PlanCraftDaily arranged a measured site survey with the property contact and confirmed the survey window in advance. The survey was expected to take approximately 1 to 1.5 hours and was scheduled for Thursday, 22 January, with arrival between 09:00 and 10:00.

Following the site visit, the measured information was developed into an existing drawing pack. The draft drawings were issued for client review on 28 January 2026, including PDFs for checking before the final files were released.

After the client’s review, the team updated the drawings with additional roof-section detail. Approximate positions of rafters, purlins and access were added to help communicate the loft height and roof-space arrangement more clearly.

OUTCOME

The final drawing pack gave the client a measured existing base for further design work. The client confirmed that the drawings looked good, described the turnaround as brilliant, and requested only additional roof-section detail to support assessment of the loft space. Updated drawings were then provided through the shared project link.

STEPS

01.

Brief Review

The client requested a measured survey and existing drawing set for a residential property in North West London. The required scope included internal and external measurements, loft space information, site photographs, plans, elevations and a section for use as a reliable existing base.

02.

Scope Confirmation

PlanCraftDaily clarified the drawing requirements before the survey was booked. The client confirmed that internal elevations and a topographical survey were not required, while the section needed to show the stair from ground to first floor and the loft space.

03.

Site Survey

The survey was arranged for Thursday, 22 January, with the site contact details shared in advance. The measured survey captured the required internal, external and loft space information, alongside property photographs to support the preparation of the existing drawing pack.

04.

Drawing Production

The measured site information was translated into an existing drawing set, including plans, elevations and a section. Draft drawings were issued for client review on 28 January 2026, allowing the client to check the information before final outputs were prepared.
