Measured Building Survey | Mix-Use Development | Manchester

Project Scope

This project involved a detailed two-part measured building survey to support the client’s planned renovation works. The survey covered two main structures, the Inside Court and the Club House, both requiring complete geo-coordination to ensure accurate alignment for future design stages.

Equipment Used

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

Duration

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

1. Measured Building Survey

The scope included the production of comprehensive floor plans, elevations, and sectional drawings derived from high-resolution point cloud data. The Club House features a predominantly open floor layout, including a dining area, gym, and indoor court, all of which required precise spatial documentation.

A major challenge of the project was the varying building orientations and dynamic floor levels across the Club House complex. To ensure accuracy, the team generated multiple sectional views to capture different structural zones and guarantee consistent level coordination and spatial alignment throughout the final drawings.

2. Exterior Detailing

In response to the client’s requirements, the survey also included full exterior architectural detailing. This involved documenting all façade features, from surface extrusions and ornamental elements to minor structural variations.

The point cloud data captured these details with high precision, enabling the team to model them accurately in Revit. Careful attention was given to preserving every design feature, ensuring the digital model fully reflected the as-built site conditions and maintained consistency across all deliverables.
