DIGITAL DELIVERABLES

Ceiling height and volume data for complex commercial spaces.

Portrait captures, checks and schedules the vertical dimensions that shape how commercial space can be used. The Ceiling Heights & Volume Pack records ceiling heights, clear heights, volume zones and physical constraints across warehouses, offices, retail units, plant areas and mixed-use buildings, giving teams a stronger evidence base for planning, review and property decisions.

Plans, sections, schedules and annotated constraint notes that make vertical capacity easier to interpret.

Vertical data matters when property decisions depend on capacity.

Floor area only explains part of a building’s potential. Ceiling height, clear height, cubic volume, racking clearance, roof structure, mezzanines and obstructions can all affect fit-out feasibility, storage capacity, HVAC performance, insurance review and valuation assumptions. This pack turns those vertical details into practical property evidence.

Height mapping

We record clear heights, ceiling heights, beams, soffits, mezzanines, voids and obstructions so the building’s usable vertical profile is easy to see.

Volume schedules

Spaces are scheduled by zone, floor, use, constraint type and volume band, helping teams see where capacity is genuinely available.

Decision-ready outputs

Outputs are structured for designers, FM teams, valuers, brokers, energy consultants, landlords and operations teams that need clear evidence.

Granular data model

What Portrait checks, measures and evidences.

The service creates a practical vertical evidence layer that can sit alongside measured plans, digital twins, asset registers and operational data. It is designed to show not just how much space exists, but where height is usable, restricted or affected by building features.

Height data

  • Floor-to-ceiling heights across relevant areas
  • Clear height to beams, services and structure
  • Racking, loading and operational clearance checks
  • Mezzanine, void, low-bay and high-bay references

Volume logic

  • Zone-by-zone volume calculations using defined logic
  • High-bay, low-bay and restricted-volume separation
  • Plant areas, ceiling voids and service zones noted
  • Useful, limited and constrained volume distinguished

Outputs

  • Height plans and section views for visual review
  • Volume schedule with notes and zone references
  • Constraint map showing obstructions and level changes
  • Landscape-hosted source data where required

How the review works

Each pack is scoped around the property type, the available evidence and the decision it needs to support. A warehouse, office, retail unit or mixed-use site can therefore be reviewed at the right level of detail, rather than forced into a generic measurement output.
01

Define height questions

We confirm what needs to be measured, which decisions the data must support and whether the focus is capacity, fit-out, valuation, rates, operations or wider evidence review.
02

Capture scan data

LiDAR data is captured across the relevant areas, including roof-line changes, structure, suspended ceilings, services, obstructions and operationally important zones.
03

Extract heights

Ceiling heights and clear heights are calculated, checked and organised so usable height, structural height and restricted areas are clearly separated.
04

Build zones

Volumes are split by use, floor, level, height band and constraint, showing where the building has full capacity and where limitations apply.
05

Prepare outputs

Plans, schedules, section views and visual notes are prepared so stakeholders can understand the findings without returning to raw survey data.
06

Share and review

Outputs can be delivered as files or hosted in Landscape, giving teams and advisers one place to review evidence, assumptions and next steps.

Height and volume evidence that supports operational decisions.

The deliverable gives teams a clearer view of property capacity, usable volume and physical constraints. It helps move decisions away from broad assumptions and towards evidence about how a building can be occupied, adapted, valued or reviewed.

Height map

A visual plan showing ceiling and clear-height variation, with key constraints marked so the vertical profile can be reviewed quickly.

Volume schedule

Zone-by-zone volume data with supporting notes, assumptions and references to the areas, uses and restrictions measured.

Section views

Sections or cut-through views can explain roof profiles, mezzanines, voids, level changes and complex internal geometry.

Connected to Landscape

Where appropriate, outputs can be organised in Landscape so your team can review property evidence, scans, plans, schedules, notes, reports and next steps in one secure environment. For business rates screening, Perspective can also support opportunity review before deeper evidence work begins.
Explore Landscape

Evidence kept together

Store report outputs, height plans, volume schedules, site notes and supporting documents against the relevant property record.

Portfolio visibility

Useful for multi-location operators that need a more consistent view of property capacity, risk, cost and evidence.

Share with advisers

Provide controlled access to consultants, brokers, contractors, landlords or internal decision-makers when evidence needs collaborative review.
