As built and building scans

Create rock-solid drawings of your existing conditions. Capture ultra-accurate site data to minimize rework and accelerate construction.

  • LiDAR & Matterport 3D Scanning
    We start with precise 3D scans using advanced LiDAR and Matterport technology, quickly capturing millions of measurements with accuracy typically within ±1/8-inch.

    Point Cloud Conversion
    Scan data is converted into a detailed 3D point cloud—a digital representation of your space, ensuring complete virtual accuracy of walls, windows, doors, and architectural details.

    Scan-to-BIM Modeling
    Our drafting team transforms the point cloud into precise architectural models, tailored from basic layouts to comprehensive construction-ready BIM models, including structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and cabinetry details.

    Delivery of Plans
    Final as-built drawings are provided in PDF, AutoCAD (DWG/DXF), and detailed Revit 3D models. Additional documents like ceiling plans, electrical layouts, cross-sections, or virtual tours can be requested, ensuring compatibility and easy integration with standard design and construction software.

  • Our pricing aligns with industry standards and is structured transparently:

    • Typical residential rates range from $.75 to $2.00 per square foot based on project complexity.

    • Smaller projects start around $1000.

    • Standard-sized homes (around 2,500 sq ft) typically cost between $1,800–$3,000.

    • Complex projects with detailed BIM models and many drawings can exceed $3,000.

    Turnaround times are quick and reliable:

    • Typical completion is within 1–2 weeks.

    • Smaller or simpler projects can often be completed within a week.

    • Larger, detailed projects typically require about two weeks.

    Expedited services are available upon request to accommodate urgent deadlines.

Design and drafting

Draft precise layouts in BIM software and streamline planning, takeoffs, and estimating, whether you are working on a remodel, new construction home, ADU.

  • Feasibility & Conceptual Design
    We start by collaborating closely to define key concepts, exploring layouts, room sizes, and spatial relationships through sketches and digital models, refined iteratively with your feedback.

    Design Development
    Approved designs are detailed with precise floor plans, elevations, materials, fixtures, and finishes. Coordination with structural, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC teams ensures constructability. Detailed 3D renderings help you visualize the final design.

    Permit & Pricing Set
    We prepare comprehensive, permit-ready drawings including dimensioned floor plans, structural and MEP details, energy calculations, and code compliance documentation. We can also handle permitting, managing communication with local authorities to streamline approvals.

    Construction Documentation & Administration
    Detailed construction drawings guide contractors, clearly outlining interior details, cabinetry layouts, finishes, and more. We assist with contractor selection and provide ongoing support throughout construction to ensure adherence to the design vision.
