Measured Building Survey

MeasuredBuildingIcon.png

SUMO Measured Building Surveys enable our clients to understand the size, area and layout of their projects. As well as visualising the building and the immediate environment.

Floor Plans

SUMO provides floor plans for all types of buildings from small dwellings, commercial properties, hotels, theatres, schools, hospitals and prisons. Most of our floor plans are undertaken using 3D laser scanners and are controlled using total stations and GPS (where required). Using laser scan techniques, we only have to survey the site once thus enabling more bespoke surveys from simple layouts to high detailed plans

Elevations

 

Undertaking all our elevational projects with the latest 3D laser scanners, SUMO can complete quick and accurate data collection within minutes. Similar to floor plans, we can provide a more bespoke drawing to include simple outline drawings for rights of light all the way to detailed brick by brick elevations for heritage projects.

Sections

 

Sections can be taken at any required position and interval, showing any level of detail from the main building outline through to fully detailed drawings showing detail such as skirting boards and coving. Elevational sections can also be provided.

3D Models

 

In addition to 2D data, surveys can be produced as 3D Wireframe Models, CAD Models and Sketchup models. The amount of detail shown in the model can be tailored to suit requirements. 3D Models can be produced from Laser Scan Pointclouds or from traditional 2D data where sufficient height data has been recorded.

SUMO can provide all significant desktop viewers used in the Scanning industry including Leica Trueview, Faro Webshare, Trimble Realworks Publisher and AutoDesk Recap. These can be delivered with most of our scan surveys and enables the user to view, visualise and measure the site without leaving the comfort of their office.

  • How accurate is SUMO's underground utility survey and what types of utilities can it locate?
    Using cutting-edge technologies like electro-magnetics, signal induced threading, and Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR), our underground utility surveys accurately detect a wide array of buried utilities including metal and plastic pipes, drainage systems, electricity cables, telecoms, and fiber optic cables. The methodology ensures high accuracy without the need for invasive trial holes.
  • What is the turnaround time for obtaining results with SUMO's Underground Utility Detection service?
    SUMO’s service is built for rapid response. Contractors can receive immediate results onsite. Our equipment provides real-time information, and once we leave the site, the detected utilities are visibly marked on the ground surface for quick reference.
  • Does SUMO provide detailed mapping of the detected utilities for permanent records or construction purposes?
    Absolutely, SUMO not only marks the detected utilities on-site but also offers high-quality, color-coded survey drawings. These drawings can include topographic features and a comprehensive record of the utility detection survey, ensuring it meets the client’s needs for future reference or pre-construction design works.
  • Topographical and Geophysical survey
    In addition to mapping out utilities, our experience team can accurately survey the land, creating topographical drawings for use. With our state-of-the-art aerial technology, nothing is missed.
  • What additional information can be included in the underground utility mapping service provided by SUMO?
    In addition to topographic features, SUMO’s mapping service can include fixed surface utility features such as inspection chambers, valve boxes, and telegraph poles. It can also incorporate key topographic details like building lines, fence lines, kerb lines, street furniture, street names, building names, and house numbers, facilitating easy site location.
  • Does the utility mapping service by SUMO include standard referencing and compatibility with existing survey data?
    Yes, SUMO ensures the utility mapping references the ordnance survey grid and level datum as standard. Additionally, the drawings can be supplied to a specified grid and level datum and can overlay an existing topographical survey, making it a versatile and adaptable service for various project needs.
  • What sets SUMO Services apart from other survey providers?
    SUMO stands out due to our impeccable level of service with nationwide coverage, state-of-the-art equipment, and our commitment to delivering top-quality, detailed colour-coded survey drawings in both hard and electronic formats.

Over a period of many months now SUMO has been appointed on a competitive basis to carry out a number of Measured Building surveys, Utility stats, Utility Mapping surveys, Topographical surveys and CCTV Drainage surveys. Their service has been very efficiently carried out and accurately presented in AutoCAD format normally on a very tight schedule. I would also add that their office staff and site operatives are very polite and carry out their duties in a professional manner. I would have no hesitation in engaging SUMO Survey Services to carry out work on behalf of LBN in the future.
