Everything you need to know about Measured Building Surveys in Kent
Building Statistics in the Kent Area
A quintessential part of England recognised for its wide range of heritage sites and green areas, Kent has a lot of rural and urban locations to offer. According to the Department for Levelling up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC), Kent has more than 690,000 dwellings, including 435 Grade 1 listed buildings.
From this figure, 86.8% are private sector buildings, 13% are social housing buildings and 0.1% are private sector buildings. Looking in greater detail, 66.7% of dwellings across Kent were houses, 20.1% were flats and 11.2% were bungalows. More than 17,800 dwellings, however, were vacant, with 34.8% of them vacant for six months or longer.
Conversions and Property Developments
As so many of the existing dwellings in Kent are vacant and have been left that way for several months, it may be more applicable for developers to stage conversion projects than build new infrastructure on brownfield or greenfield land in the county.
Property developments are worthwhile exercises in utilising an existing building to suit a new purpose or simply improve upon outdated or degraded infrastructure. At the planning stage of any property development, it is key to work with accurate measurements of the building, using up the available space effectively.
A measured building survey undertaken by a land surveyor will assist in producing the precise dimensions of a property including floor plans, elevations and sections for planning a property development project on an existing building.
Measured Surveys and Assessments
On a date chosen by the client, measured building surveys will involve the building surveyor attending the site to record the relevant measurements using advanced laser scanning equipment. The dimensions taken from a measured building survey will include ceiling plans, contours, cross-sections, fixed features, roof plans and the internal layout, with the data noted digitally or using a simple pencil and paper on a clipboard.
The building surveyor will be able to guarantee reliable results from a measured building survey by using laser scanning equipment such as total stations to record the dimensions of the building. Using the appropriate software, the measurements will then be turned into a mapped-out scaled 2D or 3D CAD format image of the building. Depending on the nature of the survey and the building, the surveyor may decide to include a report with comments about the building and suggestions for other surveys that could benefit the project.
