‘StoreSpace® is facilitating savings in time, cost and waste throughout the planning and loose equipment procurement process, contributing to the creation of profitable store layouts.’
Quentin Bossom
Primark Design Manager
Operating throughout the UK and into Europe, we work collaboratively with our clients to develop the survey specification before undertaking complex surveys of individual buildings or large estates.
We reliably deliver multiple site surveys and drawing packages for large roll-out programmes, as well as undertaking historic building surveys to meet Historic England’s requirements. We also help clients to create, maintain and analyse asset-based information within a GIS to achieve asset management cost and efficiency savings.
Measured surveys
CADS provided an accurate survey of each building prior to the design team producing any schemes or scoping meetings taking place. This gave us the confidence that our global design could be achieved in each location at a much earlier stage in the programme, reducing the number of site visits and drawing revisions - saving cost and time as well.
For over 35 years, our UK-based technicians have been delivering a comprehensive range of quality CAD drawing services in 2D and 3D, predominantly using AutoCAD and Revit.
Working for commercial, construction, and retail clients, we tailor our services to your specific requirements, offering a professional, flexible UK resource.
