Real survey case study (anonymised)

Semi-detached ASHP survey with extension complexity

A semi-detached PE-area house with multiple extensions, two ASHP siting entries, and a layout that needed spelling out properly.

What made this job notable

Three existing extensions were logged, increasing layout complexity for first-pass system planning.
Two ASHP location entries were recorded, including one with a documented 6m run to cylinder location context.
15 rooms and 4 floorplan captures required navigation that stayed usable for office and design teams.

What Vertex captured

Layout context

The altered layout was recorded clearly enough that nobody had to guess.

Electrical baseline

Garage meter and consumer-unit detail stayed with the rest of the technical evidence.

Siting references

ASHP siting entries stayed linked to the floor plans and room detail.

Why structure matters

When a house has been altered several times, the layout needs to be obvious. Otherwise the team starts making assumptions and the calls begin.

PlanUp reference 697148905 and the four floor-plan captures gave office and design teams one shared map of the job before scheduling.

Installer takeaway

On extension jobs, a clear report protects quote speed and cuts down the design back-and-forth that usually follows a messy survey.
