A survey map that defines the boundaries, drains and other services to my house has the scale below, can anyone help with how I use the scale as it doesn’t make sense to me as it is in 5 equally sized sections but labelled 0m - 3m - 5m - 8m - 10m - 13m
Confused…
Rounding up?
LoL, engineers just love a bit of rounding up for accuracy.
Looks like what they said, rounding up, 3, 8 and 13 should be labelled 2.5, 7.5 and 12.5
The scale is stated to be 1:125 and almost every architectural scale rule has a 1:1250 scale so it’s an easy enough conversion.
Just spoken with the company that did the survey and they said the scale is to be ignored as the the drawing was done for outline planning permission only and should not to used for building/architectural purposes, which the irregular scale makes impossible.
Luckily they have the raw data on file and can produce me a properly scaled drawing to work from.
