Building survey

A building survey is a representation obtained by measuring and drawing to scale, in a plane, sections and views of an ensemble of buildings, of one building and/or of a subassembly of it (construction and decorative elements, fixed furniture, technical equipment).

The purpose of performing a building survey is to realize a technical documentation that is as precise and complete as possible with regard to buildings for which there is no data available (plans, sections, facades, details), as well as for those the initial project of which exists, but, for various reasons (execution errors, transformations, degradation) is no longer in accordance with the real situation.

The clients that we are addressing are:

  • Any design company that considers that a building survey is one of the most important steps in order to draft a quality project. When done right, a detailed building survey shall facilitate the work and spare the designer a lot of useless problems.
  • Building owners of any type that want to have a correct estimation of the space that they own, whether built areas/net areas or measurements of the facades that need repairs or compartmentalization (previous measurement – estimation of the material quantities necessary for rehabilitation).

  • building resistance technical expertise;
  • development of banking and office spaces;
  • development of commercial spaces;
  • development of living spaces;
  • landscaping;
