byggnadsmätning

Byggnadsmätning refers to the systematic measurement and documentation of a building's characteristics, typically carried out for construction, renovation, or assessment purposes. The process involves capturing precise dimensional data, spatial relationships, and structural details to support engineering design, cost estimation, and quality control. Professionals who perform byggnadsmätning are often licensed surveyors, architects, or construction engineers, and they employ a range of techniques such as laser scanning, total station photogrammetry, and manual tape measurements.

One of the primary goals of byggnadsmätning is to produce accurate as-built documentation that reflects the current state of a structure. This documentation is used to verify compliance with building codes, to identify discrepancies between original plans and existing conditions, and to facilitate coordination among stakeholders such as architects, contractors, and owners. In addition, the data collected during a measurement can feed into computer-aided design (CAD) software, building information modelling (BIM) systems, or quantity takeoff tools for budgeting.

Standards and best practices for byggnadsmätning are established by national and international bodies. In Sweden, the Swedish Standards Institute (SIS) publishes guidelines for survey accuracy, data handling, and reporting. Adherence to these standards ensures that the measurement information is reliable, reproducible, and suitable for legal or contractual purposes. The practice of byggnadsmätning is closely related to fields such as spatial surveying, construction management, and architectural documentation, and it plays a vital role in modern construction projects by bridging the gap between design intent and physical reality.
