Reliable information for confident design decisions
Every successful project starts with a clear understanding of the existing building and site.
Celona Consulting provides measured building, topographical and drone surveys for residential, commercial and historic properties across Dorset, Somerset and the surrounding area.
We combine on-site measurements, level information, photography and aerial imagery to create a coordinated record of your property. This provides architects, engineers and contractors with reliable information for design, planning and construction.
Measured building surveys
Our measured surveys record the size, layout and key features of an existing building. The information can be developed into:
- Existing floor plans
- Roof plans
- External elevations
- Building sections
- Site plans
- Door and window positions
- Structural and architectural features
- Drawings supplied in PDF and CAD formats
The level of detail can be tailored to suit anything from an initial feasibility study to planning or technical design.
Topographical surveys
A topographical survey records the levels and physical features of a site, helping the design team understand how the land, building and surrounding area relate to one another.
Surveys can include:
- Ground and floor levels
- Building positions and boundaries
- Walls, fences and access routes
- Trees and landscape features
- Drainage covers and visible services
- Roads, paths and hard landscaping
Drone surveys
Drone imagery provides a safe and efficient way to record roofs, elevations and areas that may be difficult to inspect from ground level.
It can support:
- Roof and building condition surveys
- Aerial site photography
- Planning and design records
- Progress monitoring
- Photogrammetry and site modelling
- Inspection of inaccessible areas
Drone operations are planned around the site conditions, location, weather and relevant flight restrictions.
One coordinated survey service
By combining measured, level and aerial information, we can produce a more complete record of the existing property while reducing gaps and conflicting information.
Our architectural and construction experience also helps us understand which details the wider design team will need—not simply what can be measured.
Start your project with the right information
Whether you require drawings of an existing home, levels for a proposed development or aerial imagery of a difficult roof, we can recommend a survey scope suited to your project.
