Measured Building Survey Bristol

We provide high-accuracy laser scanning and measured building survey services across Bristol, supporting architects, developers and institutions with precise as-built documentation and CAD deliverables.

Our Bristol portfolio includes cultural landmarks and complex heritage environments – from the Arnolfini Gallery and Clifton Suspension Bridge vaults to the historic Goldney Grotto. All data is captured with millimetre accuracy and issued as registered point clouds or CAD plans, with optional Revit models where required – providing a lasting digital record for heritage conservation, design and redevelopment.

One of our most demanding laser scanning projects in Bristol took place deep beneath the Clifton Suspension Bridge, where a network of hidden stone vaults supports the structure above.

Access was through narrow chambers requiring confined-space certification and harnessed entry, with equipment carefully rigged to capture every surface without disturbing the historic fabric. The survey produced a fully registered colour point cloud, documenting the geometry of the vaults to millimetre accuracy for the bridge trust’s conservation records.

Working in these conditions highlights the versatility of our laser scanning process — combining technical precision with on-site safety discipline and sensitivity to heritage environments. The resulting dataset provides an enduring digital record of a space few people have ever seen, forming a reliable reference for future maintenance and interpretation.
