As-Built CAD Drawings
As-built CAD drawings start as a professional CAD file: AutoCAD 2024, Revit Architecture, BricsCAD, or SketchUp. We deliver clean, layered, coordinated drawing sets that meet professional drafting standards and LADBS requirements. Whether you need a full as-built survey converted to CAD or a Revit-based BIM model, our drafting team works exclusively in industry-standard software your architect or contractor can open, edit, and build from immediately.
AutoCAD 2024
Industry-standard 2D drafting for floor plans
For projects requiring a full building information model, we convert laser-scanned as-built data directly into Revit. This gives architects and engineers a coordinated 3D model, not just 2D lines, with walls, doors, windows, and structural elements as intelligent, editable objects rather than static geometry. See our Revit models portfolio.

As Built CAD Drawings: Which Format Do You Need?
Each format serves a different stage of your project here's how to choose.
| Format | Best For | Deliverable Type |
|---|---|---|
| AutoCAD | Permit sets, 2D floor plans, elevations | 2D DWG |
| Revit | BIM coordination, MEP/structural design | 3D Model (RVT) |
| BricsCAD | AutoCAD-compatible work at lower cost | 2D/3D DWG |
| SketchUp | Client presentations, quick massing studies | 3D Model (SKP) |

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about getting accurate as-built drawings for your project. Still have questions?
What Are CAD As Built Drawings?
CAD as built drawings are digital drawings of a building's existing conditions, drafted in software like AutoCAD or Revit from field measurements. They show floor plans, elevations, and sections as the building actually stands today, not as it was originally designed.
Do You Provide CAD As-Built Drawings for Permit Submittals?
Yes. Our CAD as-built drawings are drafted to professional standards and formatted for LADBS submittal, so your architect or contractor can use them for permit sets and construction documents.
What's the difference between CAD drafting and as-built drawings?
CAD drafting is the software process — the actual drawing work done in AutoCAD, Revit, or similar programs. As-built drawings are the finished output: a set of drawings documenting a building's existing conditions. Every as-built drawing we deliver starts as a field measurement and ends as a fully drafted CAD file.
How Are As-Built CAD Drawings Different From Original Plans?
Original plans show the design intent. As-built CAD drawings show the building as measured in the field, including changes made during and after construction. Your architect should design from the as-built version.
How long does it take to convert field measurements into CAD drawings?
Most residential as-built drawings are delivered within 5–7 business days from the on-site measurement. Larger or more complex commercial and industrial properties may take longer depending on scope — contact us for a project-specific timeline.
