Italian term or phrase: RILIEVO METRICO E STRUMENTALE
Hi, this relates to Phase 0 of a building project involving the refurbishment and change of use of an existing property. I understand that this is some kind of survey of the property (to be carried out by a 'local architect') but I'm not sure how to render 'metrico' and 'strumentale' in English. Any help appreciated. Many thanks.

metrical and topographic survey
Explanation:
strumentale is one of the accepted variants of (rilievo) topographico, the latter being much more easily understood, since even a metric survey requires instruments
metrical is better than metric which tends to denote a unit of measurement; here the meaning is direct measurements rather than triangulation etc. of strumentale
