Posted on Google Charlotte GillespieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were particularly happy with how easy the whole process was to organise, from start to finish. Communication was clear and prompt throughout, and Lei was professional, friendly, and completely unobtrusive while carrying out the survey. The drawings are excellent and very clear, and we would happily recommend this company to anyone looking for this service.Posted on Google Beatrice GattiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cura Surveys were wonderful. It took very little time to organise an appointment to measure my flat, and the measured survey came through on time. Additionally, Lei was kind enough to send me a PDF version with some specific measurements I needed which were otherwise very hard for me to calculate given that I don't have the software my architects/designers have.Posted on Google Rebecca BibbTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Well donePosted on Google Angela FabriTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We approached Lei for a building & topological survey in preparation for planing, such a lovely person and the plans were off a very high standard. I would strongly recommend this company, plans came back in a week, easy communication and very professional. My architect is very happy. They are also very reasonable with costs. Excellent all rounder. Thank you Lei. A very happy customer. ChantalPosted on Google Sophie CourtTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

How the Process Works
1. Tell us about the site – Send the Birmingham site address, postcode, access arrangements and a brief outline of what the project involves, along with any drawings, photos or consultant requirements you already have.
2. We define the right survey approach – Cura Surveys assess the information provided and recommend the most suitable survey scope, whether you need measured building drawings, topographical data, 3D laser scanning, BIM outputs or a combination of services.
3. The survey is carried out on site – The team visit the property or development site with the appropriate equipment for the brief, capturing the measurements, levels and existing-site details needed for accurate project information.
4. Your survey data is processed – The captured information is turned into the agreed outputs, such as floor plans, elevations, sections, DWG files, PDFs, point clouds or Revit models.
5. You receive clear, usable files – Cura Surveys deliver the completed files in the agreed format, giving your architect, consultant or project team reliable information to support design, planning, refurbishment or construction work.
Frequently Asked Questions
In most cases, yes. If your project involves altering, extending or refurbishing an existing building, your architect will need accurate existing plans before design work can progress properly.

A measured building survey records the building itself, including internal layouts, elevations, sections, roof plans and key structural details.
A topographical survey records the land around the building, including levels, boundaries, access points, trees, drainage features and surrounding structures.
Many Birmingham redevelopment, extension and planning projects can benefit from both surveys.
Timescales depend on the size and complexity of the property, the survey outputs needed and current availability.
Some straightforward measured building or topographical surveys can be turned around faster than larger sites requiring detailed elevations, sections, point clouds or Revit models.
