Surveys for Local Authorities & Public Sector Projects

Cura Surveys provides accurate and coordinated survey data for local authorities, public bodies, housing providers, regeneration teams, consultants and contractors across the UK.

We support civic buildings, public estates, town-centre regeneration, housing programmes, community facilities and multi-site improvement schemes with measured building surveys, topographical surveys, 3D laser scanning, Revit BIM models, utility surveys and engineering survey services.

Our survey information gives project teams a reliable understanding of existing buildings, land, levels, infrastructure and site constraints before planning, design or construction work begins.

Survey Support for Public Buildings and Estates

Public-sector estates often include buildings of different ages, uses and conditions. Existing records may be incomplete, inconsistent or no longer reflect the current site.

Cura Surveys provides accurate survey information for:

• Civic and municipal buildings
• Council offices
• Housing estates
• Libraries and community centres
• Schools and education facilities
• Leisure and cultural venues
• Markets and commercial assets
• Public-realm areas
• High streets and town centres
• Multi-building property portfolios

Survey outputs can be coordinated across multiple sites to create consistent information for planning, refurbishment, asset management and future investment.

Regeneration and Improvement Programmes

Regeneration schemes often involve numerous properties, public spaces, stakeholders and design teams.

We can provide survey support for:

• High-street regeneration
• Town-centre improvement programmes
• Commercial and community redevelopment
• Housing regeneration
• Airspace and infill development
• Public-realm design
• Building repurposing
• Estate rationalisation
• Accessibility improvements
• Long-term asset planning

Our multi-disciplinary capability allows measured building, topographical, BIM, utility, drainage and engineering information to be delivered as one coordinated package.

Measured Building and Revit BIM Surveys

For refurbishment, redevelopment and estate management, we provide accurate existing-building information in formats suitable for architects, engineers and asset teams.

Deliverables can include:

• CAD floor plans
• Roof plans
• External elevations
• Building sections
• Reflected ceiling plans
• Revit BIM models
• Point cloud data
• Area schedules
• Existing-condition records
• Digital asset information

Revit survey models can help project teams coordinate proposed works, assess development opportunities and maintain more consistent digital records across public assets.

Topographical, Utility and Drainage Surveys

Public-sector projects may require a clear understanding of both visible and below-ground site conditions.

Our coordinated survey services can include:

• Site levels and contours
• Roads, footways and kerbs
• Walls, fences and boundaries
• Buildings and structures
• Trees and landscaping
• Drainage covers and visible services
• PAS128 underground utility mapping
• Drainage CCTV surveys
• Access routes and public-realm features
• Surrounding building and highway context

This information supports feasibility, design, risk assessment and construction planning.

Multi-Site Survey Programmes

Cura Surveys has experience supporting programmes involving numerous buildings and sites.

We can provide:

• Consistent survey scopes
• Standardised drawing and model formats
• Coordinated project naming
• Agreed CAD and BIM standards
• Phased site programmes
• Prioritised deliverables
• Centralised communication
• Ongoing technical support
• Consistent quality checks across sites

This approach gives councils, consultants and programme managers reliable information across the full estate or regeneration area.
