Capturing reality. Taking the built environment into a new dimension.
Overview
Accuracy is crucial for you, so we approach every project meticulously, giving it the attention it needs to make sure you get the right results.With cutting edge technology – such as 3D terrestrial scanners and 360 photography at our fingertips - our RICS-accredited experts capture spatial data with statistical accuracy that’s correct to 0.2%.
We work closely with you to understand your needs, drawing on the expertise of the wider CBRE team – from valuation experts to retail specialists – to deepen our understanding of what you want to achieve.
Our measured surveys contain more detail and more information. They can be used as the basis for architectural design in the form of sections, elevations and floor plans, as well as data for Building Information Models (BIM). All our reports meet the RICS Property Measurement Standards, so you can be confident internal areas are calculated on a common and consistent basis; critically, they are also objective and independent.
We provide 2D and 3D output including BIM, 360 virtual walkthroughs, site area measurement, boundary and topographical surveys, sections and elevations for refurbishment projects, elevations for rights of light negotiations, demise plans for leases, and Land Registry compliant title plans.
We have the technology and the skills to support you with everything from large scale, global portfolio instructions to small one-off instructions, all delivered with the same exacting precision and attention to detail.
Our Services
- Expand your audience by bringing static, two dimensional data to life in an engaging, interactive format that feels just like being there
- We can give you virtual access to any building, at any time, anywhere, by providing an analytical, connected model that can be experienced on mobile devices, tablets, desktops, or even Virtual Reality headsets
- Walkthroughs can be hosted and shared, providing you with an immensely powerful tool for virtual site meetings or presentations, to discuss everything from marketing, leasing, space planning and design development, to development monitoring
- By using the very latest 3D laser scanning devices, we can provide virtual walkthroughs of any built environment within hours of leaving site
- Measurement lies at the heart of every property transaction. When it’s information that’s often taken for granted it’s even more important to be able to rely on its accuracy
- The more you think about measured survey data, the more you’ll realise how often you need it, how much it’s part of everything you do, and perhaps most importantly, how vital it is to have information you can trust. More than ever, clients want confidence in the data being used
- Our RICS qualified team is equipped with the latest, cutting-edge data capture technology, combined with the surveying skills that come from years of experience. We guarantee referenced areas within a tolerance of 0.2%, a level of accuracy that meets the guidelines set out in the RICS Property Measurement Standard
- All our area reports are also provided with an assignable letter of reliance, which transfers a duty of care to future purchasers. This is backed up by our market leading Professional Indemnity Insurance providing unrivalled client confidence, to support transactions from the very outset
- The scope of our business means we see the world from every angle, but capturing and presenting spatial data can be a challenge, not just for investors, vendors and developers but for everyone involved in the built environment.
- In a world where Architects, Engineers and Construction professionals use sophisticated digital tools to plan, design, construct and manage buildings, we recognise the need to provide 3D BIM-ready Revit (AutoCAD) models
- Our team uses terrestrial 3D scanners and UAV drone technology to capture large datasets of the built environment. Once processed we can store this for you, effectively future-proofing all the information about your asset. Our output includes raw ‘point-cloud’ data for architects, as well as allowing extrapolation of detailed 2D floor plans, sections and elevations.
- The Building Information Models provide digital description of every aspect of the built asset
- The Model makes it possible for anyone to access or add to the building component information thus improving asset reliability and performance
- Full 3D datasets promote greater efficiency, save money on design and planning costs, deliver reduced capital and operating expenditure, as well as providing asset registers and a basis for service mapping

Air quality matters
As cities expand across the planet, the air quality, inside and outside our buildings, is becoming a critical human and political issue. Breathing poor quality air in the work environment caused by poorly designed mechanical systems, ineffective filtration or inadequate ventilation has a detrimental effect on human productivity, wellbeing and overall health.
Introducing CBRE Breathe
CBRE Breathe empowers everyone involved in developing, occupying or leasing buildings to analyze indoor air quality, and use this insight to promote the productivity, health and well being of occupiers.
Using sophisticated digital technology, coupled with our extensive experience of M&E building ventilation systems, we interrogate your designs to collect and analyze critical data about your building.
CBRE Breathe uses this information to develop and help you implement practical strategies to create the most productive and healthy workplaces, and the most attractive buildings for investors and occupiers.
We were instructed by a client to advise on ways to improve the indoor air quality of their offices in India.
Cities in India regularly rank amongst the most polluted on Earth, and the building occupants were suffering with extremely high levels of air pollution, peaking in excess of 20 times the maximum guideline stipulated by the World Health Organisation. Complaints of stuffy indoor conditions were common amongst the building occupiers.
Our client recognised its duty of care to its employees and sought our help in assessing and recommending improvements to the building’s ventilation systems.
We carried out an air quality audit, recording and analysing data which we collated and converted to an Air Quality Index (AQI)* value.
A high-level review of the system design in the building followed, and this included an assessment of the performance of the building’s ventilation systems. The results of our analysis were examined in the context of the building’s design, and its day to day functional requirements.
We presented costed options for improving the building’s ventilation system design which were adopted by the client.
We were asked to implement these recommendations, which included upgrading air filtration systems and re-balancing the fresh air provision. The Building Consultancy team worked in collaboration with the CBRE GWS PJM and CBRE India teams.
We produced the necessary technical specifications, advised on tender returns and took responsibility for technical oversight and management of the work in the building. CBRE India provided local project management support during the construction phase of the project.
Illustrated below are details the Air Quality Index values collated from our audit, before and after the improvement works.
Our re-design of the ventilation infrastructure delivered a dramatic improvement of indoor Air Quality Index rates of 93% compared against ambient conditions (up from 32% before improvement works) - bringing the AQI rating down from an ‘Unhealthy’ rating to a ‘Good’ rating.
