Measured surveys are defined by the RICS as surveys involving taking the measurements of sites or buildings to produce data that is then represented as a drawing or model at a reduced scale. They are usually specified to an agreed level of detail, to acceptable tolerances and scale.
The systematic measurement process involved in measured surveys includes use of survey equipment and knowledge of Building Surveys to produce accurate plans.
