Land and Measured Building Surveys in London
Accurate survey data for architects, developers and planning teams working across London’s residential, commercial, heritage and mixed-use buildings.
Cura Surveys are a London-based land and measured building surveying practice supporting architects, property developers, planning consultants, engineers and property owners with reliable survey information at the start of a project.
In a city where sites are often constrained, buildings are altered over time and planning requirements can be demanding, accurate survey data matters. A clear measured building survey, topographical survey or 3D laser scan gives your project team the information needed to design, plan and make decisions with confidence.
From Central London commercial properties to residential refurbishments, heritage buildings and large development sites, Cura Surveys provide practical, high-quality survey outputs for projects across London and the wider UK.
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.

Well donePosted on Google Angela FabriTrustindex 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.

How the Process Works
1. Tell us about the site – Send the Birmingham site address, postcode, access arrangements and a brief outline of what the project involves, along with any drawings, photos or consultant requirements you already have.
2. We define the right survey approach – Cura Surveys assess the information provided and recommend the most suitable survey scope, whether you need measured building drawings, topographical data, 3D laser scanning, BIM outputs or a combination of services.
3. The survey is carried out on site – The team visit the property or development site with the appropriate equipment for the brief, capturing the measurements, levels and existing-site details needed for accurate project information.
4. Your survey data is processed – The captured information is turned into the agreed outputs, such as floor plans, elevations, sections, DWG files, PDFs, point clouds or Revit models.
5. You receive clear, usable files – Cura Surveys deliver the completed files in the agreed format, giving your architect, consultant or project team reliable information to support design, planning, refurbishment or construction work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most architectural projects need a measured building survey, especially if the work involves an existing property. This records the building layout, elevations, sections and key details.
