As a professional architect, your clients expect that your plans are entirely accurate. You will know from experience the issues that can arise from mistakes, including a project falling through. Making sure you offer the utmost accuracy in your drawings is key to the survival of your projects and the success of your business.
Measured surveys carried out by XP Surveys’ experienced team is the solution. Our Co-founder Ben Richards is a qualified architect and owns the architectural practice Aura Homes, so he understands just how vital accurate surveys are to architects.
In this article, we’ll look at the top five benefits of measured surveys.
1. Inspire confidence in your clients
Your clients will have a lot riding on their potential projects. They will need to feel confident that you can help them deliver what they have promised to their own clients on time and on budget. To be successful in your role as an architect, you need a surveyor that can competently fulfil their end of the bargain. Architects need to be able to trust that a surveyor can deliver accurate results.
We can confidently promise that our surveys are among some of the most accurate offered in London.
With our accurate measured building surveys, your clients will feel confident that their projects can be completed. Our drawings allow you to accurately scan the areas of your project to visualise and plan fixtures and fittings. This gives you the opportunity to create mockups of your plans to show to clients to reinforce their faith in you.
2. Save money
Measured survey costs are well worth paying, as you’ll avoid future costs in needing to repair costly mistakes made with less accurate equipment. Surveys pay for themselves in making projects easier and quicker to produce, without planning delays, and in the long term you could more than break even with the projects they facilitate.
To carry out our surveys, we use equipment capable of producing drawings with a maximum accuracy error of +/- 2mm. This enables the architect’s plans to be as close to their finished form as early as possible.
3. Save time and resources
We offer instant quotes for measured building surveys in London and throughout the Home Counties. Not only is our quoting process rapid, we also can also book your survey and produce drawings within five days.
This is beneficial because the quicker you can complete your projects from conception to completion, the more satisfied your clients will be.
Our measured survey process means there is no need for you to use a tape measure or any other type of measurement equipment. We’re extremely independent, our clients typically trust us to turn around a measured survey within one to two days depending on property dimensions.
When granted property access, we can be left to our work, but typically we will only need to provide one surveyor without the need for you to supervise us, meaning your time and resources can be put to better use on-site.
4. Accurate reference
With accurate drawings to hand, architects, engineers and construction companies are able to plan future works including renovations, rebuilds, and re-equipping. Having access to drawings can help with obligations such as health and safety assessments.
5. Renovations
For older buildings where our clients are planning renovations accurate records, which include details such as building materials used, location of power outlets and water pipes, etc., allow for safe and sympathetic renovations, so that the original character of a property is not lost.
With accurate measurements, the correct amount of materials can be ordered. This means costs can be saved, as there is no need to over order based on inaccurate information.
