Services
Measured Building Survey
Measured building surveys provide detailed architectural plans of existing structures, capturing dimensions, layouts, and structural features. Our surveys support renovation, extension, and compliance projects with millimetre-level accuracy. Clients benefit from precise data for design, planning, and asset management.
3D Laser Scanning
3D laser scanning captures high-accuracy spatial data using advanced technology, ideal for complex or hard-to-reach areas. We convert data into point clouds or 2D/3D models, enabling efficient design and construction workflows. This method minimises site revisits and project delays.
Floor Areas
Floor area calculations include Net Internal Area (NIA), Gross Internal Area (GIA), and Gross External Area (GEA) for property portfolios. Our surveys ensure compliance with industry standards, supporting asset valuation, leasing, and space management with reliable metrics.
Subsidence Monitoring
Subsidence monitoring tracks structural movement using high-precision equipment, identifying risks to building stability. We provide data for remedial planning, ensuring safety and compliance. Clients receive actionable insights for managing subsidence-affected properties.
Topographic Survey
Topographic surveys map land features, including contours, vegetation, and infrastructure, for development or planning purposes. Our surveys deliver accurate terrain data, supporting engineering, architectural, and environmental projects with scalable, detailed outputs.

Report
Outstanding. I've had 2 surveys undertaken by KND and their attention to detail is exceptional. Subsequent work on the plans has been very quick and very accurate. They've listened to what i've asked for and done it; what more could I ask for. Very professional and very fair with their pricing structure. Don't go anywhere else.
