Measured Survey in Terenure, Co. Dublin

A red-brick, bay-fronted terraced house in Terenure, Co. Dublin, of two storeys plus attic and approximately 1,836 sq ft (171 m²), needed a measured survey before its design team could start an initial feasibility study, with a potential tender package to follow. The client required a complete existing-building record as that first step.

THE CHALLENGE

Measured Survey of a Terenure House

Terenure is known for red-brick Victorian and Edwardian terraces, and this bay-fronted house sits in that pattern. It is a two-storey, red-brick terrace of approximately 1,836 sq ft (171 m²), with living rooms in the front bays, a long, narrow plan through the depth of the house, and an attic above.

The occupied floors and the exterior could be captured by laser scanning. The attic could not be scanned during the visit, so it was recorded with a supporting video made on the same day. That footage was used so the attic could still be included in the existing drawings and model, and the design team had the attic information they needed for the study, rather than leaving the upper floor out of the record.

The appointment was for an initial feasibility study, with a potential tender package to follow. GeoMaus was asked to issue the existing conditions drawings and model required by the client, as the measured base for that study and for tender information if the project later moved to that stage.

SCOPE OF WORK

Terenure Existing Conditions Survey: Drawings and a Revit Model

The Terenure 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 drawings and model were delivered within 5 to 7 days of the survey.

OUR APPROACH

Laser Scanning in Terenure

The site visit for laser scanning in Terenure was on 19 August 2026 and lasted about three hours. The house was recorded with Matterport, in 92 scan points through the occupied floors and the exterior.

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 OUTCOME

Measured Building Survey in Terenure: Ready for Design and Tender

The design team could begin the feasibility study with a measured record of the red-brick terrace, including the attic as recorded from the supporting video. If a tender package follows, the same Terenure existing conditions survey is already in place as the existing-building reference, so later tender information can sit on the same measured base. The bay-fronted elevation and the depth of the terrace are in that same record.
