London Borough of Southwark — Revit BIM, Airspace, Infill & Topographical Survey
Cura Surveys provided Revit BIM survey, measured building and topographical survey support for projects within the London Borough of Southwark.
The work supported airspace development, infill opportunities, feasibility review, planning assessment and design coordination. Accurate survey information was required to help the project team understand existing buildings, roof structures, site levels, surrounding context and development constraints.
This project demonstrates Cura Surveys’ ability to provide coordinated 3D, BIM and topographical survey data for complex urban development projects.
Project Requirements
The client required accurate existing-condition information to support design and development review.
The survey scope included:
- Revit BIM survey model
- Measured building survey data
- Topographical survey information
- Roof and airspace survey data
- Existing building geometry
- Site levels and surrounding features
- CAD drawings and survey outputs
- Data to support infill and development feasibility
The survey information helped consultants and design teams assess how potential development could relate to the existing buildings and site conditions.
Survey Methodology
Cura Surveys used a combination of laser scanning, measured survey and topographical survey methods to capture accurate existing-site information.
The point cloud and measured survey data were used to produce Revit BIM models and CAD survey outputs. The topographical survey recorded external features, levels and site constraints, helping the project team understand the wider setting as well as the buildings themselves.
For airspace and infill projects, this coordinated approach is important because the design team needs to understand the relationship between existing structures, roof levels, adjoining buildings, site boundaries and access constraints.
Key Challenges
Airspace and infill development projects often require a high level of survey accuracy because design decisions depend on the existing building geometry and surrounding site conditions.
Key challenges included:
- Capturing existing building and roof geometry
- Recording site levels and surrounding context
- Coordinating measured building and topographical data
- Producing Revit BIM information suitable for design review
- Supporting airspace and infill feasibility assessment
- Working within a dense urban environment
This project shows the value of combining building surveys, topographical surveys and BIM modelling into one coordinated survey package.
Deliverables
Cura Surveys provided:
- Revit BIM survey model
- Measured building survey information
- Topographical survey drawings
- CAD survey outputs
- Point cloud data where required
- Roof and external survey information
- Survey data for airspace and infill review
Why This Project Matters
The Southwark project highlights Cura Surveys’ capability in supporting development and regeneration projects where accurate 3D and site information is essential.
It demonstrates our experience in:
- Revit BIM survey modelling
- Scan to BIM workflows
- Topographical surveys
- Airspace development support
- Infill development survey data
- Existing building and roof surveys
- Urban development and planning support
For architects, developers, local authorities and consultants working on airspace, infill, refurbishment or regeneration projects, Cura Surveys can provide the accurate survey base needed before design decisions are made.
