As-Built Drawings

Existing Conditions delivers accurate 2D as-built drawings for your architecture, engineering, and construction projects. We use 3D laser scanning to capture the exact structural and MEP system dimensions, locations, and layouts of your building with 2-4mm accuracy.

Our expert Mapping and Modeling Team transforms point cloud data into customized 2D CAD drawings and can even generate 3D BIM models for virtual design planning. Existing Conditions delivers accurate site data, drawings, and models to help you make informed decisions and minimize errors.

Existing Conditions as-built drawings help you to:

  • Understand building layout, dimensions, and materials
  • Reference precise floor plans, sections, details, and RCPs
  • Communicate project requirements and design intent
  • Ensure that design complies with zoning, codes, and safety regulations
  • Coordinate with trades to minimize conflicts or clashes
  • Support future renovations, repairs, and upgrades

Existing Conditions As-Built Drawing Services explained

Access detailed building records for renovations and maintenance

2D drawings offer a precise visual representation of the project’s layout, including measurements, geometry, and technical specifications. These drawings form the foundation for communication across design, engineering, and construction teams. Clients can overlay new or revised information, such as design iterations, structural changes, or mechanical elements, directly onto the base drawings. Annotations like text notes, dimension lines, leaders, and tables can be added to clarify design intent, call out specific components, or identify areas that require further coordination. 2D engineering drawings define tolerances for critical dimensions, helping ensure the final build adheres to project requirements and industry standards.

What are the benefits of up-to-date as-built drawings?

With accurate as-built drawings created from Existing Conditions’ laser scan data, your team can confidently plan for renovation and construction, reducing change orders, delays, and costs.

Accurate Construction Record

Receive an up-to-date record drawing of existing building conditions, including modifications made during construction or renovation that may differ from original plans.

Precise Layout and Dimensions

Millimeter-accurate layout and dimensions of architectural, structural, and MEP systems in the form of 2D CAD drawings, floor plans, elevations, sections, reflected ceiling plans (RCPs), and more.

Supports Renovations and Maintenance

Facilitates the seamless integration of new architectural, structural, and MEP components by ensuring prefabricated components fit existing conditions precisely.

Reduce Rework

Provides reliable, detailed as-built survey data to minimize clashes and rework.

Improve Coordination

Enhances coordination across disciplines, by ensuring all teams work from the same construction as-builts—keeping projects on schedule and within budget.

Post-Construction Compliance

Architectural as-builts are often required for final inspections, permit approvals, and securing a certificate of occupancy.

What to Expect

Our 3D Laser Scanning Process

01

Plan

At Existing Conditions, our team evaluates your project scope, site conditions, and technical specifications to deliver precise 3D laser scanning. Through careful pre-scan planning and selection of capture technologies, software, and Level of Development (LOD), we ensure data meets your project standards.
02

Reality Capture

The Project Manager selects the appropriate laser scanning technology – terrestrial or Matterport – based on the project’s scale, detail, and accuracy requirements. The scanner captures millions of X, Y, and Z coordinates, delivering dimensional accuracy and a comprehensive spatial dataset aligned with the project’s scope and objectives.
03

Registration & Processing

The Existing Conditions Mapping & Modeling team processes point cloud data by removing noise, redundant points, and extraneous objects, aligning the scans to real-world coordinate systems. This optimized dataset forms the basis for accurate 3D Revit models, 3D meshes, and 2D CAD drawings tailored to the project’s specifications.
04

Quality Assurance

Our Mapping & Modeling team implements a rigorous quality assurance process for all point cloud datasets and deliverables, delivering high accuracy, consistency, and reliability across every project.
05

Delivery

Existing Conditions provides data, as-built documentation, and 3D Revit models in customized file formats, including GIS and SiteMap integration. Our technical team ensures smooth onboarding and ongoing support, making it easy to navigate point cloud data, even for those new to 3D laser scanning.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is As-Built Documentation?

As-built documentation is an accurate set of record drawings for a project. They reflect all changes made during the construction process and show the exact dimensions, geometry, and location of all building elements and infrastructure.

Why Would An Architect Use 3D Laser Scanning?

An architect would use 3D laser scanning services to accurately capture the existing conditions of a building in a point cloud for design and renovation projects. From the point cloud, 2D CAD drawings and a 3D BIM model can be generated to access precise layout and measurements, visualize design changes, and identify potential issues, reducing the risk of errors, ultimately saving time and cost on the project.

‍

How is CAD different from BIM?

CAD is technology and software designed to produce precise technical drawings —replacing manual hand-drawn and drafting techniques with a digital process. CAD is used in many fields, including architecture and engineering, to create accurate and efficient representations of sites.

BIM, or Building Information Modeling, is a process of visualizing a digital representation of a physical asset via the 3D model and includes richer levels of data, including information on materials and equipment. Architects, engineers, and construction managers can track and monitor a building through its entire lifecycle, from initial design to construction, operations, and maintenance. Project teams can collaborate, share information, and monitor project costs using BIM.
