As-Built Floor Plans & Existing Conditions Documentation in Southeast Michigan
As-Built Documentation for Planning, Test Fits, and Pre-Construction Coordination
LiDAR-assisted measurement delivers accurate as-built floor plans in 2D formats (DWG/DXF), with optional reflected ceiling plans (RCP). These deliverables support early design, test fits, budgeting, and coordination—without the cost or complexity of full BIM modeling.
Measured As-Built Floor Plans for Renovation
Dimensioned as-built floor plans are developed using LiDAR-based capture of existing conditions, delivering accurate 2D plans, 3D spatial data, and CAD-ready documentation.
This early-stage as-built documentation supports architects, owners, and contractors planning renovations, adaptive reuse, and tenant improvements by providing reliable spatial reference for design and coordination.
We provide as-built floor plans and existing conditions documentation for architects and contractors across Southeast Michigan, including Detroit and Oakland County. Projects ranging from 2,000 to 150,000 square feet.
Reliable Spatial Data for Informed Planning
Architects and facility teams use this documentation to begin design and planning with confidence, supported by consistent and verifiable spatial data. Additional context can be provided through aerial photogrammetry and 360° documentation where needed.

2D Plans vs. BIM — When Each Is Used
Our standard deliverable is field-verified 2D CAD as-built floor plans (DWG/DXF), used for test fits, schematic design, and pre-construction planning. Full BIM modeling is typically unnecessary at this stage and is reserved for later coordination once scope and budgets are defined.
These plans provide a reliable base for early decision-making and, when required, can be used as input for downstream modeling workflows.
Measured Data. Verified Conditions. One Workflow.
“The goal is simple: fewer assumptions, fewer revisits, and a clearer path from field conditions to finished work.”
Where Our As-Built Documentation Adds Value
Supporting key early project phases where verified existing conditions improve clarity and reduce risk:
- Due Diligence — capture accurate conditions before design
- Test Fits / Schematic Design — reliable base plans for early layouts
- Pre-Construction / Budgeting — reduce pricing uncertainty
- Value Engineering — validate assumptions early
- Construction Readiness — verify conditions before mobilization
Who Uses As-Built Documentation
As-built documentation is used by a range of project stakeholders who require accurate records of existing building conditions.
Typical users include:
- Architects preparing renovation drawings
- Contractors verifying built conditions during construction
- Building owners maintaining facility documentation
- Property managers maintaining long-term building records
- Developers planning tenant improvements or redevelopment

Digital Scanning Solutions for Design & Property Teams
We support architecture, design, and property teams with accurate as-built LiDAR measurement and CAD-ready documentation for planning and coordination.
Supporting a range of architecture, design, and property teams:
- Architecture and interior design firms
- Facility managers and property teams
- Commercial real estate owners and operators
- Design-build contractors
- Engineering and consulting firms
Whether designing, documenting, or renovating, teams rely on accurate, dependable as-built data to support planning and coordination.
Additional context can be incorporated through 360° documentation, equipment tagging, and photographic reference where required.
Data-only LiDAR capture is also available for projects ranging from residential renovations to commercial and facility improvement initiatives.
In renovation and adaptive reuse projects, inaccurate base drawings lead to RFIs, change orders, and schedule delays. Our measured documentation provides a trusted foundation for planning, budgeting, and coordination—reducing risk and saving time.
Industry Alignment & Professional Memberships
Our workflows align with specification standards and the coordination needs of design and construction teams. Professional LiDAR capture provides structured, repeatable measurement—typically within ~10 mm accuracy—for reliable planning and documentation.
