A Measured Approach
Our new survey service
We are delighted to announce that Lees Associates can now offer full measured building surveys as part of our service.
Using the latest point-cloud scanning technology we are able to accurately survey any type of building or landscape and translate it into a detailed BIM model or 2D drawings.
With our expertise in understanding buildings and BIM modelling, we are ideally placed to not only conduct surveys for our own projects but we are now offering it as a standalone service too.
Why?
As Architects, we have typically procured measured surveys from third parties, including the construction of a full as-existing BIM model from the survey data, but we often find this to be unreliable. It is critical to have a full understanding of the project requirements and how to correctly interpret the raw data in order to provide a reliable survey. And often inaccuracies in surveys only become apparent once projects are on site, by which time they are much more expensive to resolve.
So we cut out the middleman and now we survey all of our own projects ourselves!
What are the benefits?
A measured approach
As Architects our knowledge and passion for architecture puts us in the best position to appreciate and study a building during both the scanning and data translation stages. Clients have confidence and reassurance that the right expertise has been applied in collating the contextual information that will form the foundations for their project.
Fit-for-purpose
Whether or not we are the ultimate beneficiaries of a survey, we have huge experience of exactly what it needs to show. Our inherent understanding of how the data that we record will be put to use is invaluable. We are sensitive not only to the quality of the data but also to its fitness for purpose, especially when it comes to Listed buildings. We know the right questions to ask when being briefed to ensure that the delivered survey is fit for purpose and provides optimum value to the project going forwards.
Price promise
We offer very competitive rates, which, alongside a thorough understanding of how our data will be used, gives us a significant advantage. But we don’t stop there: until 30 September 2020 if anyone beats our quote we will match it and give a further 10% discount!
The Lees Associates name has been synonymous with quality and excellence in architecture for nearly 40 years. We are hugely proud to now extend this into surveying.
