Measured building surveys & architectural scale plans

Accurate Scale Floor Plans

When absolute accuracy is paramount, our scaled floor plans deliver. Whether you are an architect planning a complex renovation, a developer submitting a planning application, or a commercial landlord managing space, a precise representation of your property is non-negotiable. We provide detailed measured building surveys across Cornwall, delivering reliable, CAD-ready foundations for your next project.

Why get a Scaled Floor Plan?

Precision You Can Rely On

We use advanced laser measuring technology to capture exact dimensions, ensuring every wall, window, and structural element is perfectly represented at standard architectural scales (such as 1:50 or 1:100).

A Foundation for Your Vision

Stop guessing. A highly detailed base plan allows architects, builders, and interior designers to confidently draft their proposals, minimising drawing revisions and accelerating the planning phase.

Avoid Costly Mistakes

In construction, a few millimetres can cost thousands. Our measured surveys eliminate the guesswork, identifying true wall thicknesses and exact structural openings before contractors ever break ground.

Who are Scaled Plans For?

  • Property Developers & Investors: Crucial for assessing feasibility, maximising space utilisation, and supporting planning applications.
  • Architects & Interior Designers: Provides a reliable base layer to start designing immediately without wasting time on initial site measures.
  • Commercial Landlords & Tenants: Essential for space planning, lease agreements, and accurate square footage calculations for rent and business rates.
  • Homeowners: Perfect for planning extensive home extensions, remodelling, or simply understanding the true footprint of your property.

Scale Plans vs Estate Agent Floor Plans: What’s the Difference?

While estate agent floor plans are excellent for marketing and giving a general feel for a property's layout, they are purely illustrative. Scaled plans are technical, architectural documents. Unlike standard marketing plans, our measured building surveys include true structural wall thicknesses, precise locations of windows and doors, permanent fixtures, sanitary ware, and exact ceiling heights. They provide the exacting detail required by builders, architects, and local planning authorities.

Land Registry Compliant Plans

If you are splitting a title, granting a new lease of 7 years or more, or selling a portion of your land, a standard scale plan won't suffice. You need a drawing that meets strict HM Land Registry guidelines. We specialize in producing fully compliant lease and title plans that ensure your legal conveyancing goes smoothly without requisition delays.

Formats & Additional Details

Included Fixtures & Fittings

Need more than just the structural walls and windows? Upon request, we can populate your scaled plan with detailed placements of sanitary ware, kitchen units, permanent fixtures, and precise ceiling heights. Simply let us know your exact requirements prior to our site visit, and we will tailor the survey to your needs.

Architectural Print Formats

A scale plan is only accurate when printed correctly. By default, we format all of our PDFs to be printed perfectly to scale at standard A4 or A3 paper sizes. If you are using a large-format plotting printer and require a custom paper size (like A2 or A1), let us know and we will format your deliverables accordingly.
