Accurate drawings. Built on real measurements.
A measured survey Lewisham 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 Victorian terraces of Brockley to the family homes of Forest Hill.
A measured survey Lewisham projects depend on starts with one thing — getting the numbers right the first time. Whether you are extending a Victorian terrace in Brockley or converting a flat in Catford, 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.
Lewisham mixes leafy conservation streets in Brockley and Forest Hill with busier town-centre stock around Lewisham and Catford, and its housing is just as varied. Many homes are well over a century old. 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 Lewisham 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 Catford to a whole building near Lewisham town centre, the approach stays the same — measure carefully, then draw clearly.

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 Lewisham, our team can reach it.

Working across Lewisham means knowing the difference between the conservation streets of Brockley and Blackheath and the busier roads around Lewisham and Catford. Period homes bring their own quirks, and several areas have strict rules on what you can change. Access and parking vary from street to street. 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 Lewisham 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 SE13, SE4, SE6, SE23, SE26 and SE12. That spans Lewisham, Brockley, Catford, Forest Hill, Sydenham, Lee, Hither Green and Blackheath, 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.
Tell us about your property and what you need. We will confirm timing and a clear quote — usually within one working day.
