as-built & as-built floor plans
As-Built floor plans drawn on site. From a basic denoted floor plan of shower, room dimensions, and location to a complete floor plan with any level of information needed.
Basic Floor Plan: As-built walls and locations with room dimensions, shown as located. This can be as simple as one room to every room in the structure. I offer this service in Residential and Commercial spaces.
I can take the basic floor plan and go further to include details like wall thickness and materials used, note items like insulations, drywall and materials layered in the walls make up, note window and door sizes, locations and structural members.
I also provide layout electrical items such as lighting receptacles and isolated circuits. To do this I power in the structure and must be able to turn off circuits and switches at will. This service is offered only for Residential and Commercial Office Spaces only.
As-Built drawings can be invasive or non-invasive. See Below.

Have prints on paper and want a live file? I draw prints in DWG and DXF. I draw with Chief Architect X15 which supports the above mentioned file formats. I can also turn any drawing I do into PDF or any picture file format (JPEG, BMP or PNG). Source files can be modified at any time to your liking.
3D Renders
Rendering available on any drawing I do at an additional fee. I also do 3D Renders for building concepts, zoning and planning board submission and design. I offer several levels of realism along with materials. Basic 3D or Ray Traced.
3D Modeling
I can turn any drawing or existing building into a 3D model for any purpose.
What is included?
-
Any project we do will come with photo documentation included.
-
All measurements taken with a Leica Disto D2 Laser Tape or a Bosch Blaze 400. Small measurements are measured with a Stell tape measure. I do not use room scanners or Lidar (nothing wrong with either).
All measurements taken from center of walls to average out measurements in case the building has settlement issues. While this event is rare, there are some cases where buildings will settle to a point that it becomes a factor.
-
When doing a building survey that requires information like notations of structural members, headers over windows and doors or any material or component that is not clearly visible from a standing position. An example would be a built out wall in a finished basement. The studs could be 2x4, 2x3 or Furring strips nailed to the cinderblock foundation. In this case we would cut into the drywall to get a view of the wall structure that is hidden by a wall finish.
-
Any kind of situation that requires us to open a wall or ceiling to gather information.
-
Gathering information based on what we can see or determine without cutting into walls or ceilings. This would include digging next to foundations, cutting through concrete driveways or patios, removing siding and any kind of materials removal.
delivery methods
All drawings are transferred to the client in PDF, JPEG, or source files via email OR uploaded to Dropbox or One Drive. All in person Existing Conditions or As-Built Drawings come with a photo library and will be a Dropbox file for a period of 3 months after project completion. Clients may help themselves to any or all photos I take during a site visit.
“The draftsman, when he starts drawing plans for a building, If he’s any good, he knows that what he’s drawing is like the skin of a lizard; it’s got to grow. That building’s got to be a whole big mass. You can’t draw the skin and think you’re drawing the lizard.”
— Frank Lloyd Wright
