PROJECT BRIEF

The client needed a measured building survey for a two-storey 1930s semi-detached house in Potters Bar. The required scope included internal ground floor, first floor and roof plans, long and cross sections, and three elevations of the existing house in CAD DWG format at 1:50 scale for planning-stage use.

The project required careful access coordination because the property keys needed to be collected from a local estate agent and returned after the survey. The architect also requested that the resulting files be returned to the project team for use as a measured base.

A topographical survey was discussed as a separate option at enquiry stage, but the confirmed requirement was for the measured building survey and existing drawing outputs.

WORK COMPLETED

PlanCraftDaily reviewed the brief and provided options based on the client’s requested scope. Once the project was confirmed, the team arranged the site survey for 27 February 2026 and shared the surveyor’s details and arrival window in advance.

The surveyor attended the property to capture the measured information required for the existing drawing package. PlanCraftDaily then prepared the draft drawings and issued them for review, including the measured PDF set before final files were released.

Following the review, the project team confirmed that the PDF drawings looked suitable as a base. Final files were then issued, including CAD, PDFs and site photographs, and the client confirmed that the CAD opened correctly and the files were received successfully.

OUTCOME

The project produced a useful measured drawing base for the residential property in Potters Bar. The architect confirmed the PDFs were suitable, the CAD file opened correctly, and the photographs were received successfully. A later ridge-height query was also raised for verification as the loft design developed.

STEPS

01.

Brief Review

PlanCraftDaily reviewed the architect’s request for a measured survey of a two-storey residential property in Potters Bar. The required drawing package included floor plans, roof plan, sections and elevations prepared in CAD format at planning-stage scale.

02.

Access Coordination

The team coordinated access arrangements through the client and local estate agent. Key collection and return details were confirmed before the visit, helping the surveyor attend the property smoothly and complete the measured survey without unnecessary delay.

03.

Site Survey

The survey was scheduled for 27 February 2026, with the surveyor’s details and arrival window shared in advance. On site, the surveyor captured the measured information needed to prepare the existing drawing package.

04.

Drawing Production

Using the site survey information, PlanCraftDaily prepared the existing drawings for review. The draft package included the measured plans, sections and elevations requested by the architect, giving the project team a clear base for planning-stage design work.
