Existing Conditions, As-Built Measurement, & Architectural Documentation in Southeast Michigan
As-Built & Existing Conditions Documentation for Planning, Test Fits, and Preconstruction Work
Our LiDAR-assisted measurement delivers verified 2D plans (DWG/DXF) and optional RCP deliverables aligned to early design, fit modeling, budgeting, and coordination workflows — without requiring full BIM modeling.
Measured As-Built Floor Plans for Development
Dimensioned floor plans are delivered through LiDAR-based existing-conditions capture, providing verified 2D plans, 3D spatial data, and CAD-ready documentation.
This early-stage as-built documentation supports architects, owners, and contractors planning renovations, adaptive reuse, or tenant improvements by providing reliable spatial reference data to inform design and coordination.
Reliable Spatial Data for Informed Planning
Architects and facility teams rely on this data to begin design and planning with confidence. Additional clarity can be provided through aerial photogrammetry and 360° documentation when appropriate.

2D Plans vs. BIM — When Each Is Used
Our standard deliverable is field-verified 2D CAD floor plans (DWG/DXF) used for test fits, AE schematics, and pre-construction planning. Full BIM modeling is not required at these early phases and is typically reserved for later coordination once scope and budgets are defined. Teams use our 2D plans as a reliable base for early decisions and, when needed, as input to later modeling workflows.
Measured data. Composed imagery. One workflow.
With LiDAR technology, property professionals receive precise as-built documentation that supports space optimization, leasing negotiations, and long-term planning—ultimately enhancing a building’s revenue potential.
Where Our As-Built Documentation Adds Value
We support key early project phases where verified existing conditions make the biggest difference:
• Existing Conditions / Due Diligence – capture reality before design begins
• AE Schematics / Test Fits – provide reliable base plans for conceptual layouts
• Preconstruction / Budgeting & GMP – reduce pricing uncertainty and risk
• Value Engineering & Scope Reconciliation – validate assumptions early
• Construction Readiness & Early Coordination – targeted verification before trades mobilize
Why Firms Choose Our As-Built Services
1. As-Built Measurements you can trust.
Our LiDAR system delivers accurate architectural documentation and dimensional floor plans with high-precision interior measurements in typical conditions. Using LiDAR scanning, every floorplan and 3D model reflects true site conditions.
Basically: Photogrammetry shows what a space looks like. LiDAR shows and measures where elements actually are.
2. Dimensioned Plans for Design Planning
Deliverables include dimensioned floor plans and area calculations intended for early-stage design, planning, and test-fit use, with files prepared for CAD-based workflows.
3. Fast Capture and predictable delivery.
Our workflow captures approximately 3–5,000 sq. ft. per hour under typical site conditions, dramatically faster than manual measurement or photogrammetry-based methods.
4. Experience
Our field experience is 4 years with LiDAR accuracy. Our LiDAR capture is supporting rapid interior capture, area verification, dimensioned floor plans, space planning, test-fit support and visual + measurement reference.
Digital Scanning Solutions for Design & Property Teams
We support a wide range of architecture, design, and property-focused teams with accurate as-built data, LiDAR-based measurement, and CAD-ready documentation. Our solutions enhance spatial understanding, streamline planning, and reduce the need for repeated field verification.
Teams we commonly support include:
- Architecture and interior design firms
- Facility managers and property teams
- Commercial real estate owners and operators
- Design-build contractors
- Engineering and consulting firms
Whether you’re designing, documenting, or renovating, we provide a reliable foundation: accurate, dependable as-built LiDAR data your team can trust for planning and coordination.
When additional context is needed, visual documentation can be incorporated using 360° imaging, equipment tagging, and professional perspective-controlled photography.
We also offer data-only LiDAR scanning for projects ranging from residential renovations to commercial, corporate, and facility improvement initiatives.
Teams choose us because in renovation and adaptive reuse projects, inaccurate base drawings lead to RFIs, change orders, and schedule delays. Our measured data gives clients a trusted foundation for planning, budgeting, and coordination workflows — saving time and reducing downstream risk.
