Making data work for architects & project teams
Our expert surveyors ensure you get the data you need for your project
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.

Surveys for Santander's national refurbishment programme
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.
