TM Measure — Your Phone Is the Survey
Walk around the room with the TM Measure app on your phone and it records the dimensions as you go. We turn that into planning-ready drawings — which is why nobody needs to visit your house, and why the whole thing takes two weeks instead of ten.
Bring Your Vision to Life
Simply walk around your room with the TM Measure app on your phone to draw out your room. On a supported iPhone or iPad the scan is LiDAR-assisted, so the dimensions come from the device’s depth sensor rather than from you holding a tape measure straight.
What you end up with is a measured record of the rooms affected by your project. That is the single thing a traditional practice sends someone to your house to collect — and the stage that holds everything else up.
1. Scan the rooms
Open TM Measure on your phone and walk the space. A typical room takes a couple of minutes; a whole ground floor, under half an hour.
2. Check the dimensions
Review the measurements on screen and correct anything that looks off before sending. You stay in control of what we work from.
3. We draw it up
Existing and proposed plans, elevations and sections, drawn to the standards your council expects. Two weeks, fixed fee.
4. You submit
Final PDFs issued ready for planning or building control, and for your builder to price from.
This Could Be Your Plan
A camera scan on the left, the drawing it becomes on the right.
The Scan Never Leaves Your Phone
Scan processing happens on your own device. Raw camera frames and LiDAR point clouds are never uploaded — only the final numeric dimensions, and any reference photographs you choose to attach, are sent to us.
That is a deliberate design decision rather than a side effect. A 3D capture of the inside of someone’s home is sensitive, and the drawings do not require us to hold one.

About TM Measure
How accurate is a phone scan compared with a surveyor?
On a LiDAR-equipped device the depth sensor measures distance directly, which is why the results hold up for planning and building regulations work. You review every dimension before sending it, and we query anything that does not look right rather than drawing it blind.
What if the measurements are wrong?
You take the measurements, so it is worth being careful — a wall recorded 100mm short becomes a drawing and eventually a building. We check for inconsistencies and come back to you where something does not add up, and revisions are included until sign-off.
Does the app use AI?
No. The scan is perspective geometry and Apple’s RoomPlan framework — both deterministic. The drawings are produced by people.
Do I need the app to get a quote?
No. Send your project details and we will confirm a fixed fee within 24 hours, then tell you exactly which measurements we need.
