Accurate information matters when you’re planning, maintaining, refurbishing or developing healthcare facilities.
At Kemp Engineering & Surveying, we provide land, building, engineering and utility surveying services for hospitals, healthcare facilities and complex operational estates.
From measured building and topographical surveys through to utility mapping, setting out, as-built surveys, 3D point clouds and digital models, we give you the information needed to support healthcare projects with confidence.
Healthcare estates are some of the most complex environments to develop and maintain. Buildings have often evolved over decades, with multiple extensions, changing layouts and extensive services and infrastructure running alongside occupied clinical and non-clinical spaces.
Accurate survey information gives you a reliable picture of the existing estate and a solid basis for decisions about future works.
We offer surveying services to support healthcare projects from initial investigation through to construction and ongoing estate management.
Accurate floor plans, elevations and sections for existing healthcare buildings, to support refurbishment, extension, redevelopment, maintenance, design and asset management projects. We survey individual areas or entire buildings and estates, using surveying technology suited to the job.
Detailed topographical surveys of the land surrounding healthcare facilities, capturing levels, structures, hardstanding, vegetation and other visible site features, to support planning, design and development.
Healthcare sites can carry extensive, complex underground infrastructure. Our PAS 128 utility surveying and mapping services help identify and map underground services before excavation, construction or development work takes place. Kemp’s utility surveying team has worked on hospitals and other complex operational sites for years.
Highly detailed three-dimensional capture of existing buildings, spaces and infrastructure. Our in-house team produces survey-grade point clouds for detailed measurements, design, BIM workflows and digital models.
Turning accurate survey information into digital models for design, planning and asset management. Survey information can be supplied in Revit, CAD and point-cloud formats, so it fits into your existing workflows.
Setting out and engineering survey support during construction and development, helping contractors and project teams position and verify proposed works.
Recording completed works and producing accurate records for handover, verification, future maintenance and estate management.


We start by understanding your project, objectives and the information you need, and discuss the site, existing information, required deliverables, access arrangements and any constraints that could affect the survey, so we can put together a survey approach that fits your healthcare project.
Healthcare sites need careful planning. Before attending site, we consider access, working areas, operational requirements and any restrictions that could affect how the survey is carried out, and coordinate with the project team where needed to keep disruption to a minimum. Our staff are DBS checked, providing additional reassurance when working within healthcare environments and occupied facilities.
Our surveyors attend site with the equipment the job needs, which may include total stations, GPS/GNSS equipment, 3D laser scanners, drones and other specialist survey equipment. We capture what the project requires accurately and efficiently, while working safely within an operational environment.

We deliver the completed survey information in an agreed format for your architects, engineers, contractors, estates team and other stakeholders. Depending on the project, outputs can include 2D CAD, PDF, E57, ReCap and Revit.
Our involvement doesn’t have to end when the survey is delivered; we’re available to answer questions, clarify information and provide further survey support as your project progresses. For healthcare estates with ongoing development and maintenance needs, that continuity can help across multiple stages of a project.
Kemp Engineering & Surveying works principally across Devon, Cornwall and the wider South West, with experience supporting major healthcare facilities and other complex operational sites.
Whether you need a survey of an individual healthcare building, a specific area within an operational hospital, or a wider estate, we can tailor our approach to your project.

It starts with experience. Kemp has been providing surveying and engineering services since 1988, working across buildings, infrastructure, construction and complex operational environments. Our healthcare work includes surveys at Treliske, Derriford, Royal Devon & Exeter and Torbay hospitals, supporting ongoing development and maintenance.
We pair that experience with modern surveying technology and in-house services, so we can support healthcare projects from initial survey through to construction and ongoing estate requirements. Our DBS-checked staff understand the importance of working professionally and respectfully within sensitive, operational healthcare environments.
Yes. Our staff are DBS checked, providing reassurance when working within hospitals and other healthcare facilities. We understand the importance of safeguarding, confidentiality and minimising disruption when carrying out surveys in operational healthcare environments.
We provide measured building surveys, topographical surveys, utility surveys, 3D laser scanning, point clouds, BIM and digital modelling, setting out and as-built surveys for hospitals and healthcare facilities. The right survey depends on the building, site and project.
Yes. Kemp has experience surveying hospitals and other complex operational environments, and we plan site work around operational requirements, tailoring the approach to the site’s specific conditions.
Yes. Measured building surveys give you accurate information about existing healthcare buildings to support refurbishment, extension, redevelopment and maintenance. We carry out measured building surveys for hospitals and other complex buildings specifically.
Yes. Our utility surveying team provides PAS 128 utility surveys and mapping, and we’ve supported healthcare projects where understanding existing underground infrastructure matters for development and maintenance work.
Yes. Our 3D point cloud and laser scanning services capture detailed information about buildings, spaces and infrastructure, which can be used for measurements, design, BIM and digital modelling.
Yes. Our surveying services support ongoing development and maintenance of healthcare facilities, as well as individual construction and refurbishment projects.
Survey information can be supplied in a range of formats depending on the project, including CAD, PDF, E57, ReCap and Revit, alongside other digital outputs where appropriate.
Cost depends on the size and complexity of the site, the type of survey required, the level of detail and how the information will be used. Contact us with your project requirements and we can discuss the right approach.
We principally provide surveying services across Devon, Cornwall and the wider South West, with experience supporting healthcare facilities further afield where required.
