FAQ
Questions, answered.
Do I need a measured survey for an extension?+
Yes. Your architect needs accurate drawings of the existing house and garden before designing anything. Guessed dimensions lead to redesigns, planning delays and surprises on site.
What do I receive?+
Floor plans, elevations and a roof plan in DWG and PDF, a garden topographic survey, and a 3D link to the whole house. A point cloud is available on request.
How accurate is it?+
[Accuracy statement]
Can you work directly with my architect?+
Yes. We can agree the scope with your architect and send the drawings straight to them, in the format they draw in.
Which areas do you cover?+
Glasgow, Edinburgh and central Scotland. Further afield on request.
Is VAT added to the fee?+
No. Flying Surveyor Limited is not VAT registered, so the fee you are quoted is the fee you pay.
