Borough Market — Full Survey, Area Measurement & Reconfiguration Support
Cura Surveys has provided dedicated survey support for projects at Borough Market, one of London’s most recognised and historically important market environments.
Our work included measured building survey data, area measurement, CAD drawings and survey information to support structural review, internal reconfiguration, property records and future project planning.
The project required accurate existing-condition information within a complex commercial and heritage setting, where buildings, circulation routes, trading areas, structural elements and stakeholder requirements all needed careful consideration.
Project Requirements
The client required reliable survey information to support a range of property, design and reconfiguration matters.
The survey scope included:
- Measured building survey data
- CAD floor plans and survey drawings
- Area measurement and area calculation support
- Existing layout information
- Survey data for reconfiguration review
- Information to support structural and consultant coordination
- Clear survey records for ongoing property management
Borough Market is not a simple single-building environment. The survey information needed to be clear, practical and suitable for use by different project teams and stakeholders.
Survey Methodology
Cura Surveys used measured survey and laser scanning methods where required to capture accurate existing-building information.
The survey data was processed into CAD drawings and area measurement outputs, giving the client and consultants a reliable base for review, planning and coordination.
For this type of site, survey work needs to balance accuracy with practical site awareness. Existing market buildings often include irregular layouts, historic fabric, changes in levels, service constraints and busy operational areas.
Key Challenges
The project required careful survey planning due to the nature of the site and its use.
Key challenges included:
- Working within a busy market environment
- Capturing accurate information in complex existing buildings
- Supporting area measurement and property records
- Providing data suitable for reconfiguration review
- Coordinating survey information for different stakeholders
- Recording existing conditions clearly in a heritage and commercial setting
This project demonstrates Cura Surveys’ ability to support clients who need more than a basic measured survey. Our data helped inform design, property, structural and operational decisions.
Deliverables
Cura Surveys provided survey information including:
- CAD survey drawings
- Measured building survey plans
- Area measurement information
- Existing-condition records
- Survey data for reconfiguration review
- Information to support consultant coordination

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.

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.
