We measure
what exists.

A record drawing is the contractor's redlined set handed back at project close, showing what was actually built. An as-built is a field-verified document produced by a third party at any point in the building's life — it captures conditions as they exist today, including every tenant fit-out, MEP swap, and modification since the original construction. Per AIA contract documents, they are distinct deliverables with different legal weight.

The industry uses USIBD's Level of Accuracy (LOA) spec, from LOA 10 (~5 cm) to LOA 50 (~1 mm). Most renovation work belongs at LOA 30 (5 mm–15 mm tolerance at 95% confidence). Real estate and leasing work fits LOA 20. MEP coordination and prefabrication push to LOA 40. Asking for LOA 50 on a typical commercial renovation roughly doubles your bill for accuracy you'll never use.

Yes — we scan projects anywhere in the U.S. Our home base is Southern California, but we quote and schedule projects nationally. Travel and per-diem are folded into the project quote, and we'll disclose all trip costs before you sign off. Multi-day and multi-site work usually gets a better daily rate.

A small residential floor plan (up to 3,000 SF) typically takes half a day. A 10,000 SF commercial space is a full day. Larger buildings scale from there — a 50,000 SF industrial facility with exterior and roof might run 2–3 days. Mobile-mapping with our Leica BLK2GO is roughly 3–5x faster than traditional tripod-based scanning, which is why we can move quickly on active sites.

10+ formats depending on your workflow: 2D CAD (DWG, DXF, PDF), 3D BIM (RVT for any Revit year, IFC, NWC), point cloud (E57 — ASTM vendor-neutral standard, RCP/RCS for Autodesk, LAS, PTS), and virtual tour output. Insist on receiving E57 alongside whatever proprietary format you prefer — it protects you if you ever change software vendors.

Yes. Our mobile-mapping scanner captures data at walking pace, so we can coordinate around tenant activity, retail hours, or occupied medical space with minimal disruption. For sensitive occupancies (healthcare, secured facilities), we can also schedule after-hours or weekend capture.

Yes — we produce Revit models from LOD 200 through LOD 400 depending on the intended use. Most existing-conditions renovation work uses LOD 300 architectural (walls, doors, windows, ceilings dimensionally correct and coordinated). LOD 400 is reserved for prefab and fabrication scope. We deliver in your target Revit version — always specify the year to avoid version-compatibility issues.

3–7 business days for standard 2D as-built floor plans. Revit models and complex MEP coordination projects run 2–4 weeks depending on scope. Rush turnaround (24–72 hours) is available for real estate listing plans and permit-deadline situations at a premium rate.

2D drawings are right for permit submittals, real estate marketing, simple leasing exhibits, and small renovations. BIM models are worth the added cost when you need clash detection, MEP coordination, energy analysis, or a foundation for facility management. Most projects benefit from ordering both — a 2D set for permits and stakeholders, plus a BIM model for the design team.

Projects are quoted on scope, not hourly. The main cost drivers are square footage, complexity (single-tenant vs. multi-suite, single-story vs. multi-story), scope of capture (interior only vs. interior + exterior + roof + site), deliverable format (2D vs. BIM), accuracy level (LOA 20 vs. LOA 40), and access constraints (occupied vs. vacant, secured vs. open). Send an address and a scope description and you'll get a written quote within one business day.
