Who needs a measured survey in N14
Loft and rear extension projects need accurate existing plans. If you have an old estate agent's floor plan or an approved drawing from a previous owner, a survey checks it against the building as it stands today.
Fixed fee, plain deliverable
From £200 you get laser-measured existing plans. The measured building survey service page lists exactly what is drawn, and our pricing lists what follows.
A note on BIM: people search for BIM surveys in Southgate, but a house extension rarely needs one. Tell us on the form if a 3D model is part of your brief and we will say whether we can supply it.
