Measured survey plans of a house carried out for residential design and planning

Measured surveys

Accurate measured surveys form the foundation of any successful design or construction project. At HOBBS ARC, we provide clear, reliable existing drawings that capture your property as it is today, giving you and your project team the confidence to move forward without uncertainty.

Our measured surveys typically include existing floor plans and elevations, produced from detailed site measurements and presented in a clear, usable format. Whether the drawings are required to support a planning application, inform design development, or provide accurate information for construction, we focus on precision, clarity and consistency throughout.

We work with homeowners, designers, builders and consultants, tailoring the level of detail to suit the project and intended use. The result is a set of existing drawings you can rely on — reducing risk, avoiding assumptions, and providing a solid base for the next stage of work.

What’s included

Our measured survey service is tailored to suit residential projects of all sizes, from individual homes to larger properties. Depending on your requirements, surveys typically include:

  • Existing floor plans showing room layouts and key dimensions

  • Existing elevations recording external appearance and openings

  • Clear, scaled drawings suitable for design, planning or construction use

  • Digital drawings provided in an easy-to-use format

If additional information is required, such as roof layouts or specific areas of focus, this can be discussed at the outset to ensure the survey meets your needs.

How we work

We aim to make the measured survey process straightforward and efficient for homeowners.

Following an initial discussion to understand your project, we arrange a site visit at a convenient time to carry out detailed measurements of the property. Once the survey is complete, the information is carefully checked and converted into accurate existing drawings.

The finished drawings are then issued to you and, where required, can be used to support the next stage of your project — whether that is design development, planning or technical work.
