Geoff
Founder & Director · Ommateum Ltd
"I built Ommateum because building managers kept paying for four separate surveys when one visit should do everything. So we built the process to make that happen — and we made it fast."
The compound eye — seeing everything at once
The Name

Why Ommateum?

"An ommateum is the compound eye of an insect — hundreds of individual lenses working together to see the complete picture from every angle at once."

A dragonfly doesn't look at your building from one direction and hope for the best. It sees the whole thing simultaneously — every surface, every angle, every detail. That's exactly how we work.

Where most survey companies attend once for floor plans, once for fire safety and once for compliance documentation, we capture everything in a single visit. One compound eye. Complete picture. Every document your building needs.

The compound eye also represents precision — hundreds of data points working together to create something complete and accurate. That's our technology, our process, and our standard on every job.

How We Work

The Standards
We Hold Ourselves To.

📐
Accuracy First
We use precision 3D scanning technology on every job. Not tape measures, not estimates — real spatial data. If it's not accurate, it's not good enough.
⚡
48 Hours — Always
We built our entire workflow around your deadline. 48-hour delivery from survey to completed documents is our standard — not an option you pay extra for.
🤝
Honest Advice
Nobody truly understands every regulation. We'll tell you what your building needs — and what it doesn't. No upselling. No jargon. Straight answers.
🔁
One Visit — Everything
Every service we offer uses the same survey data. We attend once and produce everything your building needs. Less disruption. Lower cost. Better results.
Our Story

Built Around
One Observation.

The Problem
Four surveyors. Four invoices. Four access requests.
Building managers were routinely arranging separate visits for floor plans, fire safety, evacuation plans and asset registers. The same building measured four times by four different teams.
The Insight
The data needed for all four already exists after one survey.
A precise spatial scan of a building captures everything needed to produce every compliance document, floor plan and asset record. The industry had just never built a service around that fact.
The Solution
Ommateum — one visit, every document.
We built the team, the process and the technology to survey a building once and produce everything it needs. Fire safety, evacuation plans, asset registers, floor plans — all from a single visit.
Today
UK-wide. 48-hour delivery. Every building type.
From studio flats to care home campuses — we survey them all. And everything we produce is consistent, accurate and delivered within 48 hours of our visit.

What Makes Us Different

Most surveying companies specialise in one thing. Floor plan companies produce floor plans. Fire safety consultants produce fire documentation. Asset management firms handle registers.

We produce all of it — from the same data, on the same visit, to the same standard. For the building manager who needs everything sorted, that's not just convenient. It means every document is consistent with every other document, because they all come from the same source.

When your evacuation plan, fire zone plan and floor plan all agree with each other — because they all came from the same survey — that's not a nice-to-have. That's what your responsible person and your fire service actually need.

We also built EvacPlan — our digital PEEP management platform — because we kept seeing the same problem on the compliance side: buildings that had evacuation plans but no system for keeping resident PEEPs current. So we solved that too.

🏢
Every Building Type
Residential blocks, care homes, offices, schools, warehouses — we've surveyed them all.
🇬🇧
UK-Wide Coverage
Survey teams operating across England, Scotland and Wales. Single sites or national portfolios.

EvacPlan — Live Platform

We Also Built the
Software to Manage It All.

EvacPlan is our digital PEEP management platform — built because we kept delivering evacuation plans to buildings that had no system for keeping resident records current. Housing associations, care homes and property managers use it to manage PEEPs, warden zones, fire compartments and compliance records — all online, all in one place.
