An end-of-terrace, cottage-style house in Ballinteer, Co. Dublin, with two storeys and an attic, was surveyed so its design team could begin an initial feasibility study, with a potential planning application to follow. The client required a full measured record of the house as it stood.
Ballinteer, Co. Dublin
Luxury Residential
Ballinteer is a residential suburb in south Dublin. This house is an end-of-terrace, cottage-style building of two storeys and an attic. One side is attached to the neighbouring house; the other is an open flank. The existing attic plan records two attic rooms, and the site plan shows a garden at the rear, so the survey had to capture the building form and how it sits on its plot.
The brief was an initial feasibility study, with a potential planning application to follow. Before options could be tested, the client required a measured survey of the house as it stood, including the cottage-style front, the open side of the terrace and the attic spaces. GeoMaus was appointed to carry out that survey and to issue the existing conditions drawings and model required by the client. A measured building survey in Ballinteer of this kind of end-of-terrace house has to record both the attached side and the open flank.
The Ballinteer 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.
The site visit for laser scanning in Ballinteer was on 14 April 2026 and lasted about three hours. The house was recorded with Matterport, covering the ground floor, first floor, attic spaces 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.
With the issued record, the design team could move into the feasibility study, and toward a planning application if that work follows, using a measured base of the existing end-of-terrace, cottage-style house. The form of the building, the open flank, the two attic rooms and the rear garden are all in that existing record, ready for the next design decision. The existing drawings and model cover the cottage-style front, the open flank, the attic and the rear garden, so feasibility or planning options can be tested against the house as it stands.
