How Can We Help Architects?

architectural plans

At J C White Geomatics Limited we are extremely proud of our reputation amongst local Architects, built over a period in excess of 25 years for providing quality topographical and measured building surveys to a high cartographic standard.

Over the last 5 - 10 years we have been able to expand our list of Architect clients to include practices from London and further afield, the majority of which have come to us not by direct marketing but by 'word of mouth'.

Whether you require a survey for planning, presentation of a prestigious design for competition, or for a potential client, the consistent high cartographic standard of the information we supply will guarantee you a favourable reception.

Our team of experienced Surveyors are able to offer detailed advice on specification and methodology to achieve the requirements and accuracy your project may need.

The services we offer which would be of interest to an Architect include measured building surveys and detailed topographical surveys.

Detailed Topographical Surveys

At J C White Geomatics Limited, we offer a professional service where client requirements are discussed on a job-by-job basis.

Our experience of producing detailed topographical surveys directly for Architects has resulted in our Surveyors now being in an unrivalled position to advise you on all your surveying requirements.

Whatever the size of your site or the format required for final presentation you can be sure of receiving an accurate, reliable and comprehensive survey.

Measured Building Surveys

These surveys are a standard requirement for Architects, whether supplied as traditional Architectural plans or more elaborate historic and heritage surveys. If your existing plans are unsuitable or non-existent, and your requirements are for re-development, extensions, or just for record purposes, we can offer you a professional service. Floor plans, elevations and/or sections with various levels of detail and scale can all be provided in digital format. Utilising the latest innovations in real-time survey techniques, we can prepare and verify drawings in-situ facilitating confidence and continuity in our final product. With ever-tightening planning controls and listed building requirements, the need to record and represent the features and Architectural aesthetics of a building has become a necessity.

Further advances in technology have added new tools in gathering survey information. 3D Laser scanning is proving to be a major asset for the surveyor, enabling millions of survey points to be captured and stored. This high level of detail can be digitised and represented as traditional plans, but also provides a unique 3D visual Architectural record. This has endless possibilities in the fields of presentation and visualisation.

Boundary Demarcation

Whatever the nature or size of your client's site, knowing the location of legal boundaries prior to detailed design or the start of building work could save your client enormous costs resulting from re-design, legal fees or delay to site occupancy due to legal disputes.

J C White Geomatics Limited has a wide and varied experience of boundary issues and is able to offer practical advice at the outset or at any stage of the design process.
