Site Survey

When you schedule a site survey with us, we usually complete the on-site visit within three to five working days, depending on your availability and how quickly you send us a marked floor plan. Once our installer has measured and photographed every surface, our design team draws up the scaled drawings and compiles everything into your site survey plan.

This stage typically takes a further two to three days. In total, allow around seven working days from booking to receiving your finished document. If your project involves multiple floors or several locations, timings may extend slightly, so it helps to flag this when you schedule a site survey, and we confirm the details with you in advance.

The standard price covers up to three hours on site, and this applies across all common building types, since offices, schools, gyms and hospitals all follow the same measuring process. What can affect pricing is the size and layout of the space, the number of surfaces to measure, and if you also need our survey form printing service or survey form design services alongside the visit.

Getting in touch early means we can talk through what to expect based on similar projects we've completed. You can also speak with our Office Signage Maker in Welwyn Garden City if you'd like a clearer idea of costs for your specific building before booking, since local project examples often help.

We prefer a PDF copy of your floor plan since it's clear and easy for our installers to reference during our site measurement services. That said, we accept several file formats, including JPG, PNG or even a photo of a printed plan. If you don't have an official floor plan on hand, a hand-drawn sketch works well too.

Simply mark out the rooms, walls and surfaces you want measured, take a clear photo and send it over. Our team uses this to plan the visit and confirm which areas need covering, feeding into our survey form printing service once the details are agreed. Getting a floor plan to us early helps us book your site survey sooner and keeps the process moving quickly.

Yes, our site surveyors do this regularly for brands with several sites, and if locations are close together, we can often cover them in the same day for one combined cost. In most cases though, especially where sites are spread further apart, we'll need to book a separate visit for each location to keep things manageable for our installers.

Consider our Custom Business Sign Maker in Hemel Hempstead if one of your locations falls in that area, since local familiarity can make it easier to fit an extra visit into the same trip. Once the measuring is complete, we create a separate site survey document for every site, keeping things clear when the design phase begins.

Yes, if you decide you need additional locations measured after booking, just get in touch and we'll do our best to accommodate this, either as part of the same visit or as a separate booking. Adding locations may affect the overall price and timeline, particularly if the extra site isn't nearby or needs more time than our original site survey plan allowed for.

Letting us know about multiple locations as early as possible makes it easier for our site surveying team to plan an efficient route. You can also speak with our Branding Expert in Uckfield if one of the new locations falls within that area, since local knowledge often makes it easier to fit an additional visit into the same trip.

Not necessarily. For a smaller office or single room, you can often send us the sizes and photos of each surface yourself, and we'll put together a quote without a full site measure. This works well for straightforward spaces with just a few walls or windows to measure.

However, if you'd rather have one of our installers handle the measuring for you, we follow the same detailed site surveying process for a small office as we do for a large multi-floor building. This keeps everything consistent and ensures nothing gets missed, no matter the size of your space. The choice comes down to how confident you feel measuring accurately yourself.

Yes, our signage site survey is often the first step towards a full branding installation with us. Once your scaled drawings and vector file are complete, our team can move straight into producing and fitting your signage or graphics. Booking both together also means our installers already know your site, having carried out our site measurement services themselves, which speeds up the fitting process and reduces the chance of last-minute surprises on the day.

If you're planning an office refit or a full branding rollout, our Installation Service picks up exactly where the site survey leaves off, so your project moves from measurement to finished installation without gaps or handover delays.

Yes, we've carried out site surveys in listed and heritage buildings before, where measuring and photographing surfaces needs a bit more care around protected features, fixtures or finishes. If your building carries listed status or falls under conservation restrictions, let us know when you schedule a site survey so we can brief the installer beforehand and avoid any issues on the day.

Accurate measurements and photos, backed by our survey form design services, become especially important once approval from a conservation officer or landlord is needed for the design stage. Consider our Custom Sign Maker in Central London service if your heritage building sits within the city, since many listed properties there also need branding that respects planning and conservation guidelines.
