Design 1

Measured Building Survey | Residential | Oxford

Project Scope

For this project, our team was commissioned to develop a Revit-based architectural model to support the demolition of an existing lean-to side extension and the construction of a new side extension, likely accommodating a toilet and utility area. The model was required to support design development through Stage 4 and Stage 5.

Equipment Used

  • Laser Scanner RTC360
  • Leica GNSS Receiver GS14
  • Leica Total Station TS16

Duration

  • Site time: 3 days
  • Modelling time: 45 days

1. Architectural Modelling

The scope focused exclusively on architectural elements, with no structural or detailed internal MEP modelling required. The existing building was modelled as “existing” condition, with no demolition phase represented. No work in the loft was required and no joists or beams included.

Key architectural components such as walls, openings, radiators, sanitary fixtures, and rain pipes and downpipes were modelled using standard Revit library items of appropriate size. General massing for kitchen cabinets was included to support spatial understanding.

2. Site and External Context Modelling

The external context was modelled to include garden levels extending 3 meters around the property, along with boundary elements such as garden fencing. Rainwater pipes and downpipes were incorporated to reflect external drainage arrangements. Vegetation was excluded from the scope, as it was not required for design coordination.

Deliverables

The final deliverables included a coordinated LOD 3 architectural Revit model, suitable for design development and coordination through Stages 4 and 5. The model provides a reliable architectural baseline for the proposed side extension and associated internal adjustments, supporting future drawing production and council approval processes.
