Real survey case study (anonymised)
Large multi-floor ASHP survey with UFH and three-phase supply
A big four-floor property with 35 rooms, UFH, three-phase supply, and enough complexity to expose a weak report fast.
A big four-floor property with 35 rooms, UFH, three-phase supply, and enough complexity to expose a weak report fast.
All 35 rooms stayed in one layout the team could navigate without getting lost.
Three-phase supply and basement electrics were called out clearly.
Fourteen floor-plan captures stayed tied to the same record.
On jobs like this, nobody has time to dig through unordered exports. The useful parts need to be obvious straight away.
PlanUp reference 705387516 and the 14 floor-plan captures gave the people pricing, designing, and fitting the job the same map of the property.
Large properties are where a clear report saves the most time. People can find the constraint, make the decision, and move on.
On a 35-room property, the challenge is not only gathering enough evidence. It is keeping the evidence navigable after the survey. If the report forces a designer to hunt through unordered photos, the survey has not really solved the handover problem.
Fourteen floor-plan captures needed to stay tied to room records so the installer could move around the job without losing context.
UFH notes, supply context, and multi-floor layout detail had to be readable together because one isolated fact would not explain the property.
The main lesson is that bigger surveys need stronger organisation, not just more information. A well-organised report lets the installer check the headline constraints, then drill into the rooms and floor-plan references that support them without rebuilding the survey narrative from scratch. That keeps a complex survey usable for people who never attended the property and still need to make decisions quickly from the same evidence.
