Surveys for Commercial Property, Offices & Facilities Management

Cura Surveys provides accurate building and site information for commercial property owners, landlords, occupiers, asset managers, facilities teams, architects and property consultants across the UK.

We support office refurbishment, workplace fit-out, redevelopment, leasing, acquisition, asset management and planned maintenance with measured building surveys, area referencing, 3D laser scanning, Revit BIM models, topographical surveys and digital survey data.

Our deliverables give project teams a reliable understanding of existing layouts, floor areas, levels, building geometry and site constraints before property, design or construction decisions are made.

Reliable Information for Commercial Property Decisions

Commercial buildings often change over time through subdivision, fit-out, refurbishment and changes in occupation. Existing plans may be incomplete, outdated or unsuitable for accurate design and property management.

Cura Surveys can record:

• Existing floor layouts
• Core and circulation areas
• Office and meeting spaces
• Reception and communal areas
• Stairs, lifts and service zones
• Floor and ceiling levels
• Doors, windows and structural openings
• Roofs and external elevations
• Reflected ceiling information
• Visible building services
• Plant areas where accessible
• External site features and access routes

This creates a dependable base for architects, consultants, contractors, property teams and building managers.

Office Refurbishment and Workplace Fit-Out

Office refurbishment and fit-out projects require accurate information about the existing space before layouts, partitions, ceilings, services and finishes can be coordinated.

We can provide:

• CAD floor plans
• Reflected ceiling plans
• Internal elevations
• Building sections
• External elevations
• Roof plans
• Point cloud data
• Revit existing-building models
• PDF survey drawing packages

Our surveys can support Cat A and Cat B fit-outs, internal reconfiguration, workplace upgrades, change of use, strip-out works and full-building refurbishment.

Area Referencing and Property Measurement

Accurate floor areas are important for leasing, valuation, acquisition, asset records and property management.

Cura Surveys provides area referencing in accordance with the agreed measurement basis, including:

• Gross Internal Area
• Net Internal Area
• Gross External Area
• IPMS measurements
• Floor-by-floor area schedules
• Demised area plans
• Lease and occupation plans
• Area verification following refurbishment or reconfiguration

Clear drawings and schedules help property teams understand usable space, common areas, circulation zones and overall building capacity.

Revit BIM and Digital Building Records

For larger commercial buildings and long-term asset management, Revit BIM models and point cloud data can provide a more complete digital record than traditional drawings alone.

Our digital deliverables can support:

• Refurbishment design
• Space planning
• Facilities management
• Asset review
• Building coordination
• Digital twin development
• Planned maintenance
• Future alterations
• Portfolio and estate records

Laser scanning allows detailed building geometry to be captured efficiently and provides a digital record that can be reviewed after the site visit.

Acquisition, Feasibility and Redevelopment

Before acquiring or redeveloping a commercial property, clients need a clear understanding of the existing building and surrounding site.

Our surveys can support:

• Acquisition due diligence
• Development feasibility
• Change-of-use assessment
• Airspace and infill opportunities
• Floor area verification
• Commercial redevelopment
• Structural and design review
• Planning applications
• Tender and cost planning
• Existing asset documentation

Measured building, topographical, area and BIM information can be combined into one coordinated survey package.

Multi-Building and Portfolio Surveys

Cura Surveys can support landlords, asset managers and property teams responsible for multiple commercial properties.

We can provide:

• Consistent survey scopes
• Standardised CAD and BIM outputs
• Agreed naming and layer standards
• Phased survey programmes
• Prioritised building delivery
• Coordinated area schedules
• Centralised project communication
• Ongoing survey support
• Consistent quality control across sites

This gives clients reliable and comparable information across their property portfolio.
