MBS are an independent surveying software company owned and managed by measured building survey professionals. The software and methodology have therefore been developed by people who fully understand all the practical problems associated with these types of surveys. The MBS system comprises of two distinct elements: MBS Floor Plans allows for real time graphical capture of all the elements required for the production of scale drawings of floor plans. By running on mobile Windows CE hand held computers, the surveyor can input spatial data directly from a total station, a hand held laser measuring device or a steel tape! The software now integrates fully with the Bluetooth-enabled Leica Disto PLUS, providing a truly wireless process of site data capture to be undertaken considerably quicker and with a higher degree of accuracy than that offered by traditional methods. MBS Elevations enables the surveyor to survey building elevations with a reflectorless total station and view the resultant elevation graphically as it is being measured. The surveyor can immediately check the accuracy and ensure all important detail has been measured. The subsequent CAD processing time back in the office is therefore also substantially reduced.
