Planning often requires elevation drawings that depict street-level scenes outside your property. Fosse Surveying can deliver a detailed report without requiring access to your property.

Cross Section Drawings

Measured building surveys can include cross sectional information. Providing a cutline position has been chosen, we can incorporate the necessary sectional information needed to support your design.

The level detail needed depends on the requirements of the project, from essential information to more complicated aspects, for example, architraves and cornices.

Similar to floor plans, a reflected ceiling plan (RCP) details the features and structure of your ceilings and without the need to gain access via a ladder. By working closely with you at every stage of the process, we will ensure that all the necessary information is included in your ceiling report. The final report will be delivered in a format of your choice.
