Steps for Creating Floor Plans with Reformia
Professional floor plan surveys are charged based on property size and complexity.
1. Contact a qualified professional surveyor
Start by finding a qualified professional surveyor specialized in floor plan measurements with proven experience. Request quotes from several professionals to compare prices, which range from 400 € to 4,000 € depending on the property's complexity. Verify they have the necessary technological tools for accurate measurements.
2. Provide basic information about the property
Provide the surveyor with essential information about your property: type of property (residential, office, commercial space, or industrial building), approximate area, and construction year. Prices vary by type: residential floor plans from 150 €, offices from 200 €, or commercial spaces also from 200 €. This information helps create a more accurate quote.
3. Schedule an appointment for on-site inspection
Schedule an in-person visit from the surveyor to your property at a mutually convenient time. During this inspection, the professional will assess the building's condition, the complexity of the survey, and determine if multiple visits are needed. Most standard quotes for this phase range from 900 € to 1,800 €.

4. Take measurements and collect data
The surveyor will take precise measurements of all property dimensions using laser and specialized digital tools. Data will be collected on walls, windows, doors, stairs, and relevant structural features. This meticulous process is essential to ensure the accuracy of the final floor plans you'll receive.
What can change your final price
Even similar projects can end with different budgets. These are the factors that most often push costs up or down.
Total property size
Larger areas require more time and resources to survey. Professionals typically charge per square meter, which becomes more economical per m² for larger properties.
Space complexity and layout
Properties with multiple levels, irregular spaces, or complex structures require additional measurements and work time, significantly increasing the budget.
Type of plans requested
Pricing varies depending on whether you need only basic layout plans, detailed technical plans with dimensions, or complete documentation including systems (electrical, plumbing, etc.).
Geographic location and accessibility
Travel to remote areas outside urban centers or difficulty accessing the property may involve additional transportation costs and time.

A professional surveyor specialising in building surveys will use modern technology such as laser scanners or drones to ensure maximum precision in measurements. This budget should include not only the fieldwork, but also data processing and the preparation of technical drawings in digital format. It is important to request a detailed quotation that specifies which services are included: floor plan, elevations, sections, or additional documentation needed for administrative procedures or renovations.
To get the best price for a building survey, we recommend comparing quotations from several professional surveyors. Each expert can offer different methodologies and levels of precision, which influences the final cost. When requesting quotations, provide all relevant information about your project: square metres, number of levels and purpose of the survey (renovation, valuation, legalisation, etc.).
Don't hesitate to contact professional surveyors in your area to receive personalised quotations without obligation. Comparing different offers will allow you to find the best value for money and ensure that your project has the exact technical documentation you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

For residential properties up to 100 m², the cost is typically between 400€ and 700€, while larger buildings or those with complex geometries can reach 2,000€ or more. It's recommended to request quotes from several technical drafters to compare prices and services.
What exactly does a professional floor plan survey include?
A complete floor plan survey includes precise measurements of all rooms, creation of digital floor plans (usually in AutoCAD), indication of doors and windows, and representation of structural elements such as columns and beams. Some professionals also include elevation plans, cross-sections and construction details, as well as files in different formats (DWG, PDF) to facilitate their later use.
How long does a floor plan survey take?
The total time depends on the size and complexity of the property. The fieldwork (on-site measurements) typically takes between 2 to 8 hours for a standard residential property, while drafting the plans in the office requires between 3 to 10 working days. In total, from the request to delivery of the final plans can take between 1 to 3 weeks.
How do I choose the best technical drafter for my floor plan survey?
The most important thing is to verify that the professional is registered with the Professional Association of Technical Architects or Technical Engineers in your autonomous community. Review their previous experience, request references from past projects, and compare detailed quotes from at least 3 professionals. Make sure they include all the plans you need and that they provide the files in editable digital format.
Do I need a permit or license to conduct a floor plan survey?
The floor plan survey itself doesn't require a municipal license, but if the plans are needed for a renovation or construction project, you must submit them to the Town Hall along with the corresponding building permit application. It is mandatory that the plans be signed by a qualified professional (Architect or Technical Engineer) so they have legal validity with the administration.
