Temporary Measures Ltd is a construction technology and temporary works assurance business created to give principal contractors, project teams and asset owners clearer, faster and more reliable visibility of temporary works on live construction sites. The company combines professional construction knowledge with high-accuracy drone LiDAR surveying, reality capture and digital model integration to improve how temporary works are recorded, reviewed, communicated and managed.
Temporary works are critical to safe project delivery, but on large or fast-moving sites they can be difficult to monitor consistently. Haul roads, working platforms, crane pads, excavation supports, access arrangements, lifting zones, temporary drainage, edge protection and logistics layouts may change quickly as work progresses. Poor visibility can lead to rework, programme delay, unsafe assumptions, incomplete records or increased pressure on temporary works coordinators, designers and site management teams. Temporary Measures Ltd is designed to reduce that risk by creating an accurate digital picture of what is actually present on site.
Using a DJI Matrice 400 platform equipped with Zenmuse L3 LiDAR and D-RTK 3 positioning technology, the business will capture detailed, geo-referenced survey data efficiently and with minimal disruption to site activities. The collected data will be processed into high-quality point clouds, three-dimensional site models, elevation outputs and visual records. These outputs can be used to measure, compare and communicate temporary works conditions more effectively than photographs or manual inspection records alone.
The company’s workflow is built for integration into the digital environments already used by leading contractors. Processed reality-capture information can be prepared within Autodesk workflows, converted into practical CAD deliverables and coordinated within federated construction models. Through tools such as AutoCAD, ReCap Pro and Navisworks Manage, Temporary Measures Ltd can support measured layouts, drawing overlays, model reviews and enhanced visualisation of site progress. Where programme information is available, captured site conditions can also support four-dimensional review, allowing project teams to better understand progress, sequencing, temporary works interfaces and emerging risk against planned activities.
The service is intended to complement, not replace, the statutory and professional responsibilities of temporary works designers, coordinators, engineers and principal contractors. Its purpose is to provide stronger evidence, clearer communication and more usable site intelligence for informed decision-making. Deliverables can include annotated model views, point-cloud records, measured drawings, visual progress reports, temporary works status packs and digital information suitable for project review meetings, assurance discussions or client reporting. Each service can be tailored to client procedures, BIM requirements, temporary works registers, reporting standards and assurance priorities.
Temporary Measures Ltd will initially focus on complex construction environments including data centres, major civils, industrial projects, logistics developments and infrastructure works, where temporary works risk, programme pressure and digital reporting requirements are especially significant. By turning accurate site capture into practical construction intelligence, the company aims to help clients improve safety, reduce avoidable rework, strengthen audit trails and make faster, better-informed decisions.
The ambition is straightforward: to make temporary works more visible, more measurable and easier to manage through modern digital assurance.
