Extend your Buildings Up

Building Heights is a value-added, height attribute database that could be integrated with Ordnance Survey MasterMap and other building outline datasets. The height information is derived from the most current LiDAR surveys, high-resolution aerial photography (using very accurate photogrammetric techniques) or other height data sources.

Building Heights provides comprehensive height information for individual building block. The data is supplied as three values for each building; ground height above sea level, top of the building above sea level and the actual building height.
