How to carry out a survey of your room

First, look around and draw a rough plan of the room like above:

Incorporate rough positions of windows, doors, recesses, waste pipes and any other fixed features. Starting in one corner, take running measurements along one wall, noting where each window, door or other feature starts and finishes. Repeat this for each wall of the room until you get back to where you started.

Record the dimensions on your plan:
Next, draw rough elevations of each wall and record the height of the ceiling along with the heights of any doors, windows or other features like sample elevation below:
