Outdated Floor Plans Cost Time, Money — and Patience.

You know the story. The old plans don’t match what’s actually on site. Tenants move walls. Equipment changes. Someone “borrowed” the only paper copy. Before long, you’re working blind — and everyone from your contractor to your insurance provider wants an up-to-date plan yesterday.

That’s where we come in.

We Bring Clarity to Complex Spaces.

Our surveyors visit your premises and carry out a full LiDAR property scan — capturing every square metre in millimetre detail. From that, we produce accurate, scalable CAD floor plans for your building or site, including:

What’s Included in Your Commercial Floor Plans

Warehouses, office blocks, yards and mixed-use premises — captured with LiDAR and delivered as crystal-clear CAD plans your team can actually use.

Room Layouts & Dimensions

Accurate internal footprints, grids, and key dimensions for fit-out and FM.

Fire Routes & Exits

Clearly marked escape routes, exits, and assembly points.

Plant & Service Areas

Dedicated spaces for plant, risers, comms, and service corridors.

Loading Bays, Yards & Parking

External circulation, access, and logistics mapped for operations.

As-Built Documentation

Verified post-completion drawings for handover and compliance.

LiDAR Capture

Millimetre-accurate scans of large or occupied premises.

Delivered in DWG, DXF and PDF formats. Ready for contractors, insurers, facility managers and licensing officers.

Fast. Precise. Painless Floor Plans. Here’s How.

Step 4

We Scan Your Site

Our surveyors visit your property and capture every detail using advanced LiDAR technology — the same tech used in autonomous mapping. No tape measures. No guesswork.

We Draft Your Floor Plans

Your scan data is converted into detailed CAD floor plans by our in-house designers — clean, compliant, and accurate to the last millimetre.

Step 3

You Get Files That Work

Delivered in your preferred format and ready to share with contractors, councils, or insurers. Updates and revisions? We’ve got you covered.

Review on behalf of my parents- Mr & Mrs Sparrow We were really struggling to get our Land Registry plans approved due to confusing and unhelpful advice from a solicitor. Then we spoke to Kev — and what a difference! With just one quick call, he clearly explained what needed to be done and suggested we submit both our own and our neighbour’s plans together. Thanks to his expert advice, everything was approved straight away. He completed the plans quickly, efficiently, and at a very reasonable price. No stress, no hassle — just a great service from start to finish. Absolutely brilliant. Highly recommend Kev to anyone needing Land Registry Compliant Plans.

Kevin is flexible, listens to what has been asked. He is knowlegeable about ideas and suggestions and gives you leave options. The plans were clear to read and were done to a professional high standard. If you live in Essex and want a good value price then Kevin is the man to contact. My plans were submitted on Monday as the price is going out and they were done in a timely manner.

Kev from Surv Design was incredibly helpful when we needed land registry compliant plans drawn up for our leasehold property. After a couple of months when our buyers solicitor came back asking for revisions to be made, we received these within a couple of days. Thank you Kev for making a stressful process much easier! We are very grateful for your time and help!

Kev and the team have been amazing at working with me to ensure my planning application goes through smoothly. I live in a conservation area so it was daunting to even begin the process but Kev put me at ease straight away. Communication has been great and I would highly recommend Surv Design.

My experience in dealing with Mr Kev Miller of Essex Architects and Party Wall Surveyors is one of thankfulness. Having discussed my problem with Kev, which he fully understood, I sent him some follow-up details which were used by him to give a quick response. I am extremely grateful for his time, knowledge and understanding in dealing with my problem.

CAD Floor Plans

Production-Ready Floor Plans for Real-World Use

we support architecture, construction, engineering and manufacturing teams

Need crisp, consistent CAD floor plans that planners, licensing teams, fire officers and contractors can read instantly? SurvDesign produces plans for planning, licensing & fire safety, tender/construction and as-built/O&M with correct layers, dimensions, levels and annotations—ready to submit, price and build from.

Licensing & Fire Safety Floor Plans

We produce premises licensing and fire safety plans with the symbols and notes authorities expect for applications and on-site management: escape routes, exit widths, final exits, travel distances (where specified), fire doors (FD30/FD60), detectors/call points, emergency lighting indications*, fire-fighting equipment, assembly points, and occupancy/management notes.
*We integrate your lighting calcs or fire-engineer inputs where required.

What We Draw

  • Existing / proposed floor plans (all levels, key grids & datums)

  • Licensing plans — premises licence/HMO licensing drawings with required annotations (use areas, capacities, bars/servery, WCs, accessibility, management notes)

  • Fire safety plans — escape & compartmentation indications, door ratings, alarm/CPs, E-lighting indications, equipment, assembly points

  • Room data & finishes call-outs (optional schedules)

  • Small-works layouts — partitions, doorsets, sanitaryware, FF&E blocks

  • Refurb/fit-out plans — demo/retained overlays, new build-ups, fire strategy tags*

  • Set-out plans — critical dims, control lines, tolerances, FFLs

  • As-built plans — red-line updates and handover/O&M sheets
    *Fire strategy symbols/notes integrated when supplied by the designer/engineer.

Inputs We Can Work From

  • Measured surveys (DWG/PDF) and point-clouds (E57/RCP/RCS)

  • Legacy PDFs/sketches for Scan-to-CAD conversion

  • Mark-ups, red-lines and site photos

  • BIM/architectural bases to align grids and shared coordinates
    No measured info? We can survey using LiDAR laser scanners and convert to accurate CAD plans.

Output & Standards

  • DWG + PDF as standard; DXF/IFC on request

  • Scales to brief (typ. 1:50 / 1:100; 1:20 for joinery/rooms)

  • Clean layer naming, blocks, title blocks and plot styles (your standard or ours)

  • Consistent dimensioning, level tags (FFL/SFL), north points and legends

  • Optional room/door schedules, GA/RC coordination notes, keynotes

Planning vs Technical vs Licensing vs As-Built

  • Planning plans — clear layouts, dimensions to external walls, use labels, simple annotations for validation.

  • Technical/tender plans — tight set-outs, door swings & IDs, specs/notes, penetrations & coordination tags.

  • Licensing/fire safety plans — authority-friendly symbology, occupancy notes, escape routes, equipment and compliance annotations.

  • As-built plans — incorporate red-lines and site changes; issued with revision history for O&M manuals.

Our Process

  • Brief & scope — target scales, sheets, standards, deadlines.

  • Base build — trace from survey/point-cloud or convert from PDF; align grids/datums.

  • Annotate & coordinate — dimensions, FFLs, openings, licensing/fire overlays, services references.

  • Issue & iterate — draft PDFs with clouded revisions for comments.

  • Final issue — clean DWGs + plotted PDFs; revision log included.

Coordination & Add-Ons

    • Sections & elevations generated from the same base for consistency

    • Door/room/finishes schedules keyed to plan tags

    • Fire strategy overlays (from your fire engineer) & licensing compliance notes for submission packs

    • Evacuation & zone plans for on-site display (PDF + print-ready)

    • Area take-offs (GIA/NIA/NSA) and simple area plans

Why Choose SurvDesign

  • Technician-led clarity — neat linework, reliable dimensions, tidy sheets

  • Fast turnaround & fixed pricing — dependable for live programmes

  • Survey-to-sheet — LiDAR capture, conversion and CAD production under one roof
