If you’re planning a house extension, loft conversion or garden annexe, a measured survey gives us a record of the property as it stands. At Robert Blake Designs, we use the visit to take the measurements needed for the drawings and talk through what you want to achieve.
What we look at during the visit
The scope depends on your project. For a rear extension, we may record the adjoining rooms, external walls, windows and doors, and how the house meets the garden. For a loft conversion, the relevant features may include the existing roof shape, available headroom and the space where a stair might go. For a garden building, we focus on its position, nearby features and how it relates to the house.
What to have ready
If you have estate-agent floor plans, photos, older drawings or a simple sketch, send them ahead of the visit. Tell us what you want the new space to do and which features you’d like to keep. Please make sure we can access the areas agreed for the survey.
How the survey becomes a drawing package
We use the site information to prepare drawings of the existing property, then develop the proposed plans and elevations around the brief. You can see how the proposals are presented in our rear extension and remodelling example. If application submission is included in your quote, we can submit it as your agent once the proposals are agreed.
