Accurate as-built drawings are essential for any construction project. They document your building's existing conditions precisely, enabling designers and contractors to plan confidently and avoid costly surprises or delays.
Our 4-step process for rock-solid as-built drawings of existing buildings
-
LiDAR & Matterport 3D Scanning
We begin with a high-precision 3D scan of your space using advanced LiDAR and Matterport Pro series equipment. This process captures millions of measurements in just a few hours, significantly faster and more precise than manual methods. Typically, accuracy is within ±1/8-inch, providing an incredibly detailed and reliable digital record of your building.
-
Conversion to Point Cloud Data
After scanning, we process the data into a comprehensive 3D point cloud—essentially a digital snapshot of your structure. This point cloud represents every wall, window, door, and architectural detail captured during scanning, enabling our team to revisit the space virtually and ensure nothing is overlooked.
-
Scan-to-BIM Modeling
Our drafting team meticulously traces the point cloud to reconstruct architectural elements with exact dimensions. You can specify the level of detail, from basic floor layouts up to highly detailed construction-ready models that include structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and cabinetry details.
-
Final Delivery of Your Plans
We deliver your as-built drawings in versatile formats including PDFs, AutoCAD files (DWG/DXF), and fully detailed 3D Revit models. Additional documentation, such as reflected ceiling plans, electrical layouts, cross-sections, or interactive virtual tours, can be provided upon request. These files are fully compatible with common design and construction software and become your permanent, accessible record for all future project needs.
Pricing
Guide
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.
