    A selection of recent survey projects undertaken across Cheltenham, The Cotswolds and across the UK.


    Our work includes topographic surveys, measured building surveys and construction setting out supporting architects, developers and contractors across a wide range of projects.




Hugely impressed with the clarity and level of detail in the deliverables we received. 

Process from quote to issue was straightforward and the client commented on the professionalism of your Surveyor. Looking forward to the next project!

It's a pleasure working with Ben and he's very reliable and always ahead of our requirements that helps us omit any lack of production, so thank you and keep up the good work.

Very quick and professional, he made sure he didn't disrupt us too much (we both work from home) and the drawings 

sent were spot-on

Ben was very helpful in providing a full site survey for an Architectural project I am working on. 

Very efficient and his drawings were precise and clear. The turnaround from site survey to CAD plans was quick. Will be using BDF surveys for all my future projects.

        Nailed the level of detail need for our design and 
        planning submissions. Survey drawings were clear, 
        well laid out & delivered on time. 

        Can only imagine the difficulty of surveying a busy 
        recording studio!

Drawings for the barns was comprehensive and easy for the design team to work with. Land survey helped uncover some old drainage tracks and even a pretty deep well on the parcel.


The project was completed seamlessly and provided exactly 

what we needed for the proposal.

Selected Survey Projects

Measured Building Survey – 16th Century Country House, Buckinghamshire


A detailed measured building survey was undertaken for a substantial 16th-century country house in Buckinghamshire. The survey was commissioned to support architectural design work and future refurbishment proposals.


The property comprised a large historic residence together with a number of ancillary structures including stables, barns and associated outbuildings. Accurate floor plans, elevations and sectional drawings were required to capture the existing building geometry, structural layout and historic fabric across the site.


The client required specific measurements at defined levels throughout the structure and requested that the survey drawings be produced within one week of completing the site work. Given the requirement for traditional 2D drawings and a rapid turnaround, the survey was undertaken using a total station rather than laser scanning. 


Features were measured selectively and interpreted in the field, allowing the data to move directly into CAD drafting without the additional processing stages associated with point cloud surveys.


The resulting drawings provided clear and reliable existing building information for the design team to progress the project.


Scope


+    Measured building survey

+    Floor plans

+    Elevations

+    Sections

+    Stables, barns and ancillary structures recorded



Deliverables



+ 2D CAD existing building drawings

+ PDF drawing set for architectural design use



Conclusion


The measured survey provided a comprehensive set of existing building drawings for the main residence and associated equestrian structures. The information was delivered within the required timeframe, enabling the architectural team to progress the design work and develop proposals for the refurbishment of the historic property.
