This two-storey brick terraced house in Ranelagh, Co. Dublin, occupies a narrow plot and has an approximate gross floor area of 1,295 sq ft (120 m²). The client required a measured survey of the existing house for an initial feasibility study, with a potential planning application to follow.

Ranelagh is an inner south Dublin suburb of brick terraces, often on compact plots. This house is of that type: a two-storey brick terrace of approximately 1,295 sq ft (120 m²), on a narrow site, with rooms to the street, more compact accommodation toward the rear, and an attic above. The existing site plan records a tight urban plot, so a feasibility study, and any planning application that follows, has to work within those existing walls and boundaries.
The client required a measured survey of the existing house and its plot before that work began. Heights, the narrow frontage and the rear of the terrace all had to be in the issued record, because later planning drawings would need to sit on that existing base. GeoMaus was asked to complete the survey and to issue the existing-building drawings and model required by the client. The measured survey in Ranelagh had to be complete enough for that planning path, as well as for the feasibility study.
The Ranelagh existing conditions survey package required by the client included existing plans, elevations and sections, a Revit model and PDF drawing set, together with the Matterport tour and the raw point cloud data. The existing drawings and model were delivered on 7 July 2026, six days after the 1 July survey.
The site visit for laser scanning in Ranelagh was on 1 July 2026 and lasted about three hours. The house was recorded with Matterport, in 66 scan points inside and out.
The laser scanning method provided the measured geometry for the drawings and the Revit model. The Matterport record from the same visit is a visual tour of the house, and the raw point cloud data was kept with the project record.
The existing drawings and model were in the team’s hands six days after the 1 July survey, and the design team could start the feasibility study on a measured record of the narrow terrace and its plot. The same record remains available if a planning application follows, so existing walls, heights and boundaries can be read in plan and section before any application is prepared. A visit on 1 July and drawings back on 7 July gave the team that existing record at the start of the study.
