BUILDING SURVEYS
Architectural Surveys and Studies for Existing Structures and Potential Renovations
Building surveys provide crucial data on spatial layouts, material integrity, and regulatory compliance. By mapping current conditions in detail, they offer essential insights to guide interventions, renovations, regularizations, and other necessary modifications.
Residences
The projects involve detailed building and planimetric surveys of existing private homes to facilitate regularization and assess potential renovations. This essential process includes precise mapping and measurement of the properties, documenting the current condition of the structures, terrain, and spatial layouts. The accurate data collected supports the evaluation of the feasibility of updates, expansions, or modifications, while ensuring compliance with local regulations and zoning requirements. The floor plans showcased here are selected examples of completed architectural surveys.
