Frequently Asked Questions

Below you will find answers to the most common questions about our service. 

How long will it take to complete the on-site measured survey?

The on-site survey consists of taking measurements and photos mainly of; all internal and external walls, windows, doors, staircases, any relevant structural details and the external perimeter of the site. This can take between 30 mins to many hours depending on the size and complexity of the building.   

How long does the 3-step process take?

After completing the on-site measured survey, digital CAD plans are generally delivered via email within 24 to 48 hours for a typical flat or a single 3 bed house. Larger or more complex buildings may take longer depending on the level of detail required.

How much does a plan cost?

Our pricing is tailored to each individual property and is calculated based on its total size, number of rooms, layout complexity, amount of detail required and location. Contact us today for a free, fast, and competitive quote.

Who have you worked for in the past?

What areas do you cover?

LRC Plans covers the whole of Greater London and its immediate surrounding areas. If you are unsure whether your property falls within our coverage zone, please reach out to us and we will be happy to assist.

What do I need to prepare before the on-site measured survey?

All we require is clear, unobstructed access to every room, and outbuilding in the property. You do not need to move heavy furniture, but ensure doors can be fully opened and rooms are fairly tidy with access to reach each wall will allow us to take fast and highly accurate laser measurements.

What digital file format will I receive?

Your final plans will be emailed directly to you as a high-resolution PDF perfect for printing or sharing with solicitors and agents

Do I need to be present at the property during the measuring survey?

Not always. For standard properties, as long as access is arranged—whether via an estate agent, property manager, or key safe—we can complete the survey independently.

However, for complex buildings or unique projects, we may request that you or a representative meet us on-site. This is highly recommended if your project involves unique detailing i.e non-typical layouts, splitting a site, defining ambiguous boundaries, mapping out specific sections for individual tenants, or if you have strict instructions from a legal team that require on-site discussion.

Do you provide planning, structural or building control drawings?

No. LRC Plans specialises strictly in creating accurate, as-existing digital layouts and floorplans of properties as they stand today. We do not provide planning application drawings, building control drawings, or structural engineering drawings for construction purposes.
