Surveys for Architects, Planning Consultants & Design Teams
Cura Surveys provides accurate survey data for architects, planning consultants, interior designers and design teams working on renovation, extension, refurbishment, planning and construction projects.
Before design work begins, your team needs reliable existing-site information. We provide measured building surveys, topographical surveys, 3D laser scanning, CAD drawings, Revit models, point cloud data and Scan to BIM services to help you design with confidence.
Our survey deliverables are clear, accurate and practical, giving architects and consultants a dependable base for planning applications, concept design, technical design, coordination and construction drawings.
Survey Data for Design and Planning
Accurate survey information is essential at the start of any architectural project. Poor existing drawings, outdated records or missing site information can lead to design errors, delays and costly changes later.
Cura Surveys helps design teams understand the existing building or site before decisions are made. Our surveys can record layouts, levels, elevations, sections, roof information, ceiling details, site features, trees, boundaries, surrounding context and visible constraints.
Whether the project is a house extension, listed building refurbishment, commercial fit-out, school estate, public building or large development site, we provide survey information that can be used directly by your design team.
Services for Architects and Design Teams
We can provide a single survey service or combine multiple survey disciplines into one coordinated package.
Our services include:
- Measured building surveys
- Topographical surveys
- 3D laser scanning surveys
- Scan to BIM services
- Revit survey models
- CAD floor plans, elevations and sections
- Reflected ceiling plans
- Roof plans and external elevations
- Point cloud data
- Drone surveys and roof inspections
- Area referencing and IPMS surveys
- PAS128 utility surveys where required
- Drainage CCTV surveys where required
This gives architects and consultants one reliable source for existing-building, land, utility, drainage and 3D survey data.
Typical Project Uses
Our survey data supports a wide range of architectural and planning projects, including:
- Residential extensions and refurbishments
- Planning applications
- Listed building and heritage projects
- Commercial refurbishment
- Retail and hospitality fit-out
- Change-of-use projects
- School and estate improvement works
- Airspace and infill development
- Technical design and construction drawings
- BIM and Revit-based design workflows
We understand that architects do not just need measurements. They need survey information that is accurate, well presented and easy to use in their design process.
CAD, Revit, BIM and Point Cloud Deliverables
Different projects require different outputs. Cura Surveys can tailor the deliverables to suit your workflow.
For 2D design work, we can provide CAD floor plans, elevations, sections, roof plans and reflected ceiling plans in DWG and PDF formats.
For 3D and BIM projects, we can provide point cloud data, Revit survey models, Scan to BIM deliverables and 3D existing-condition information.
For larger or more complex projects, we can combine measured building surveys, topographical surveys, laser scanning and drone survey data to give your team a more complete understanding of the site.
