As Built Survey Brent
An as built survey in Brent captures the precise dimensions and layout of a building or site as it actually exists — not as it was designed. Whether you are handing over a new build, preparing a drawing pack for a planning application, or verifying a contractor's works against specification, you need data that reflects reality on the ground.
icelabz delivers as built surveys for contractors, architects, and property owners across Brent, Wembley, Kingsbury, and the surrounding London boroughs. All surveys are to RICS measured survey standards with signed accuracy statements.
Survey Services in Brent
Brent's built environment spans from Victorian terraced housing in Kilburn to mid-century commercial stock around Wembley and the significant residential development pipeline in the borough's opportunity areas. This diversity means as built surveys in Brent frequently cover:
- New build residential handover surveys — Floor plans, elevations, and section drawings for newly constructed houses and flats across Brent's major development sites.
- ** Loft conversion and extension verification** — As built drawings to confirm works match planning approved drawings, required by building control for completion certificates.
- Commercial unit measurement — NIA and GIA measurement to RICS Code of Measurement Practice for letting and sale purposes.
- Industrial and warehouse as built surveys — For logistics operators and property managers in the Wembley and Neasden industrial zones.
Our Brent survey team uses laser scanning and total station survey depending on site complexity. For larger commercial and industrial properties, we deploy 3D laser scanning to capture geometry accurately and efficiently.
What We Deliver
All as built surveys in Brent are delivered as professional CAD drawings (DWG format) alongside a written survey report. You can also request:
- 2D CAD drawings — Floor plans, roof plans, sections, and elevations as DWG files. Standard format for planning, building control, and contractor handover.
- 3D BIM models — Revit-compatible models for projects where the contractor or design team requires coordinated 3D data. LOD 300 is our standard for as built BIM.
- Point cloud data — Full-colour laser scan data in RCP/RCS format. Useful for complex geometries or when the contractor requires a digital twin for FM purposes.
- Area schedules — NIA/GIA measurement tables to RICS Code of Measurement Practice 8th edition. Delivered as a separate PDF schedule alongside the drawings.

Q: What format are the drawings delivered in?
All drawings are provided in DWG (AutoCAD 2018 format) as standard, with a PDF version for ease of sharing. If you need DXF, SVG, or another format, specify at brief stage. BIM deliverables are in Revit format.
Q: How long does an as built survey take in Brent?
For a standard residential property (up to 200m²), we typically complete the site survey within one day and deliver within 5 working days. For larger residential or commercial properties, we provide a timeline at the scoping stage. Urgent requests for building control completion certificates can usually be accommodated.
Q: Do you provide as built surveys for buildings with existing planning conditions?
Yes. We have provided as built survey data for numerous projects where planning authorities required as built drawings as a condition of consent. Our drawings are accepted by Brent Council planning department and building control without revision.
