Sycamore House and Beech House in Cardiff are two 10-storey residential towers, completed in 1963, each containing 95 flats. As part of a recladding project, a Measured Building Survey was undertaken delivering a detailed 3D Revit BIM model to support the planning process and design phase.
Surveybase successfully delivered a comprehensive 3D Revit BIM model to the client, following the LOD4 specification for façades and LOD3 for internal modelling.
Surveying these buildings posed unique challenges, particularly due to their tall design. To overcome these obstacles, Surveybase used advanced surveying technology, including a drone, to ensure precise data collection with minimal disruption to residents.
This survey underscores Surveybase’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge surveying services for cladding refurbishments. By providing accurate, detailed models, we support the recladding of homes, creating safer living environments for future generations.
As a proud addition to our growing portfolio of commercial projects, Sycamore House and Beech House joins prestigious sites like Brighton Marina, Brighton and Nelson and Loudoun House, Cardiff and The Gouldings & Fairlie House, Uxbridge. Each project reflects Surveybase’s expertise in delivering precise 3D surveys for recladding purposes.
