Existing and proposed elevations for extensions, refurbishments, frontage changes and signage. Millimetre-accurate from LiDAR scan or your plans. Delivered in DWG, DXF and PDF.
Inaccurate elevations lead to planning pushback, wrong cladding quantities, window orders that don’t fit, and builders improvising on site. Expensive, slow, and avoidable.
Consistent datums and levels, clear materials/finishes, ridge/eaves heights, roof pitches, opening sizes and head/sill heights — all tied back to your floor plans and sections.
Crisp, consistent elevations that hold up to planning scrutiny and keep site teams aligned.
Front, rear and side elevations at 1:100 or 1:50 with clear naming and orientation.
Finished floor, eaves and ridge levels; roof pitches and key vertical dimensions.
Window/door sizes with head & sill heights; lintels, cills, reveals and alignments.
Brick/stone types, cladding, render, roof coverings, rainwater goods and notes.
Context elevations or montage to support design and streetscape assessments.
Millimetre-accurate capture for reliable setout and seamless coordination.
Elevation Drawings Delivered in 3 Simple Steps
We LiDAR-scan your property (or work from reliable existing data), take site photos, confirm control levels, and gather any street context you need for planning.
Existing & Proposed elevations at 1:100 or 1:50, fully annotated: materials, finishes, opening sizes, head/sill heights, eaves/ridge levels, roof pitches, downpipes/vents. Optional street scene montage.
Clean, layered DWG/DXF and a polished PDF set with title blocks and revision control. Fast tweaks when the design evolves.
Need clean, consistent CAD elevations that contractors, planners and clients can read at a glance? SurvDesign produces external and internal elevations with correct levels, materials, annotations and references—ready for applications, pricing, fabrication and site install.
External façades — full street elevations, rear/side elevations, gables, dormers
Internal elevations — kitchens, bathrooms, joinery runs, reception/retail walls
Shopfront & signage elevations — glazing modules, frames, signage zones, lighting pick-ups
Cladding & façade packages — panel set-outs, joints, fixings, flashing lines
Window/door coordination — head/sill/parapet lines, lintels, opening types, schedule call-outs
Context elevations — adjoining buildings for planning townscape views
As-built elevations — red-line updates for O&M handover
Measured surveys (DWG, PDF) or point clouds (E57/RCP/RCS)
LiDAR scan by us if you don’t have measured data
Photos with dimensions (we’ll advise on limits)
Legacy PDFs/sketches for Scan-to-CAD conversion
BIM/architectural base files to align datums and gridlines
DWG + PDF as standard; DXF/IFC on request
Sheet sizes and scales to brief (e.g., 1:50/1:100 ext., 1:20/1:10 joinery)
Clear datums/levels (FFL/SFL), grid references and orientation
Material tags & hatch conventions, render/brick/stone/metal annotations
Buildable note sets (flashings, weeps, sealants, cavity closers) where required
Consistent layer naming, blocks, title blocks; revision clouds & logs
Brief & sources — scope, scales, standards, required sheets.
Base build — trace from survey/point cloud; align datums and grids.
Annotate & coordinate — materials, levels, openings; link to schedules.
Issue & iterate — draft PDFs with clouded revisions; integrate comments.
Final issue — clean DWGs + plotted PDFs, revision history included.
Sections/details: companion sections and key junction details on request
Schedules: windows/doors, finishes, signage, cladding panels
Photo-matching/orthos: orthographic façades from point-clouds/photos for complex geometry
Condition discharge: material sample/elevation packs to satisfy planning conditions
Technician-led clarity — crisp linework, legible annotation, reliable datums
Fast turnaround & fixed pricing — dependable for live programmes
