How Our Architectural Survey Works

Survey Process

What's Involved in Our Architectural Survey?

We focus on developing a precise understanding of your property. We undertake a detailed survey of the relevant areas, producing a comprehensive set of ‘existing’ drawings, including floor plans, sections, and elevations. This provides a solid foundation for the design, ensuring every decision that follows is informed, accurate, and tailored to your home.

Beyond the drawings themselves, this stage allows us to identify opportunities, constraints, and the subtle characteristics that make your home unique. By capturing these details early, we can approach the design process with clarity, confidence, and a clear vision for how your space can be transformed.

Who is involved?

We usually work with our trusted survey partners, who use specialist equipment to capture accurate measurements quickly and efficiently, while DA Design may occasionally carry out surveys directly to align with the design intent from day one, and all exterior land surveys are always completed by our experienced surveyors to provide a thorough, reliable foundation for the design process.

How long does it take?

The survey typically takes a few hours depending on the property’s size and complexity, and once measurements are gathered we usually produce the existing drawings within 7 to 10 days, ensuring every detail is captured accurately so the next stage is informed, efficient, and aligned with your aspirations.

Do I need to do anything?

On the agreed survey date, we will need clear access to all relevant areas of the property, and any documents you have available, such as title deeds, site plans, previous plans or sewer records (often found in your legal pack), will help us complete a thorough and efficient survey.
