Ruthin School — Full Measured Building & Topographical Survey
Cura Surveys carried out a full measured building and topographical survey at Ruthin School, providing accurate existing-building and site information for planning, design development and future project works.
The survey captured key building layouts, site levels, external features and existing conditions across the school estate. This gave the project team reliable survey data to support design decisions, feasibility review and future improvements.
This project demonstrates Cura Surveys’ experience in supporting education estates and multi-building sites where clear, coordinated survey information is essential.
Project Requirements
The client required accurate survey information for an education estate environment.
The survey scope included:
- Measured building survey data
- Topographical survey information
- CAD survey drawings
- Existing building layouts
- Site levels and external features
- Access routes and surrounding site context
- Survey information for planning and design development
- Existing-condition data for future project review
School sites often include a mix of buildings, external spaces, circulation areas and level changes, so the survey information needed to be clear, consistent and practical for project teams to use.
Survey Methodology
Cura Surveys used measured survey and topographical survey methods to capture both the buildings and the surrounding site.
The measured building survey recorded the existing layouts and key building information, while the topographical survey captured levels, site features and external constraints. The information was then processed into CAD deliverables suitable for architects, consultants and project teams.
This combined approach helped provide a more complete understanding of the school estate, rather than treating the buildings and external site as separate pieces of information.
Key Challenges
Education estates can be challenging because they often include multiple buildings, active site use, access restrictions and a variety of external areas.
Key challenges included:
- Capturing building and site information together
- Surveying within an education estate environment
- Recording levels and external features clearly
- Providing coordinated CAD survey outputs
- Supporting planning and design development
- Working around site access and operational requirements
This project shows Cura Surveys’ ability to provide reliable survey support for schools, colleges and estate-style properties.
Deliverables
Cura Surveys provided:
- Measured building survey drawings
- Topographical survey drawings
- CAD survey outputs
- Existing building layout information
- Site level data
- External feature survey information
