What Is an Internal Survey?
An internal survey (also known as an interior or measured internal survey) captures the existing interior of a building rather than the site or land around it. A typical internal survey records wall positions and thicknesses, room dimensions and total floor area, floor levels and ceiling heights, door and window positions, and fixed features like staircases and built-in joinery.
You get a CAD floor plan, referenced to a scale your architect, designer or builder can work from directly, and additional detail on request if you’re using it as the starting point for a unit title plan.
Whether you need a straightforward floor outline or a highly detailed plan, an internal survey gives you the accurate starting point every renovation, fit-out, or interior reconfiguration depends on.

When Do You Need an Internal Survey in Canberra?
An internal survey is the right call whenever your project depends on knowing exactly what’s inside a building, not just what surrounds it:
Renovating or extending: Accurate existing floor plans mean your architect designs against reality, not an outdated or missing plan.
Fitting out a commercial tenancy: Confirm exact dimensions and fixed features before a lease fit-out begins.
Reconfiguring an interior layout: Homes, offices, and retail spaces all need a confirmed starting point before walls move.
Preparing a unit title subdivision: Accurate internal floor areas and unit boundaries are the basis of any unit title plan.
Verifying commercial floor area: Lease audits and floor area calculations need a plan that reflects the space as it stands.
Documenting a heritage interior: Capture existing fabric and layout before restoration work changes it permanently.
If your project touches any of these, an internal survey gives your architect, builder or planner a plan they can trust.

Internal Survey Canberra FAQs
How much does an internal survey cost in Canberra?
Cost depends on the size of the building and how much detail your plan needs, so we don’t quote a flat figure. Every quote is upfront and transparent, and our Price-Beat Guarantee means we’ll beat any like-for-like quote by 5% across many of the services we offer.
Do I need an internal survey before renovating or fitting out an existing building?
In most cases, yes. Accurate existing floor plans let your architect or designer work from reality instead of an outdated or missing plan, which avoids design errors and costly changes once construction starts.
Can this survey be used to support a unit title subdivision?
Yes. Accurate internal floor areas and unit boundaries are the basis of any unit title plan, so an internal survey is often the starting point for a subdivision on ACT leasehold land.
What file formats will I receive, and will they work with my CAD or architectural software?
We deliver a CAD floor plan that works directly with the software your architect, designer or builder already uses. Flag your preferred format when you book if you need something specific.
Is this survey suitable for a commercial tenancy, or only for residential renovations?
It suits both. Commercial tenants and landlords use internal surveys for fit-outs and floor area verification for leasing purposes, while homeowners use them for renovations and extensions.
