Conversions and housing upgrades depend on knowing how the existing building actually fits together. Inconsistent flat plans, uncertain floor levels and missing external information can complicate design. Geo Scan scopes the survey around the development decisions and the access available.
Conversions and extensions: Record floor layouts, elevations, sections and site relationships for the architect’s proposed scheme.
Blocks and housing estates: Measure agreed dwellings and communal stairs, corridors and hallways, with a clear schedule of accessible areas.
Envelope refurbishment: Capture accessible façades, openings and roof geometry for drawing production and design coordination.
Illustrative project scenario (theoretical): Converting an existing building into apartments. A developer needs an accurate account of floor layouts, stairs, façade openings and level changes before the architect develops a conversion scheme.
Prioritise the floor plans, elevations and section positions needed for design. Add topographical information, registered point clouds or a scoped model where the project team has a defined use for them.
Measured surveys are distinct from homebuyer reports, condition surveys, legal boundary determinations and structural assessments. Concealed construction is not established from visible geometry.
