At ArchAsBuilt we provide architecture Design, Drafting, 3D Modeling, 360 Laser Scanning and Precise As-Built / Existing Condition documentation services which have been used for many renovations, properties acquisitions/takeovers, expansions, pre-lease site assessments, etc… If you are considering renovating or acquiring any commercial or residential real estate properties, the place to begin your planning and construction process is right here. Our Existing Condition / As-Built drawings will provide valuable insight into your property while highlighting design opportunities and constraints based on the existing architectural/structural, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and site/lot conditions.

We tailor our scope of work to meet your project requirements and ensure the design architect will have 100% of the existing conditions information and As-Built drawings that are required for the design process. In fact, Our services will eliminate the need for your architect to make a personal site visit before or during the design process.

Most of our jobs are in NJ, NY and PA but for the right project, we can travel to anywhere in US and Canada. We survey properties ranging from under 1,000 sq. ft. to over 100,000 sq. ft. in both the commercial and residential sectors. Please don’t hesitate to get a free quote for your upcoming project, large or small!

We understand that your upcoming property acquisition or renovation is costly, and our goal is to reduce your overall design & construction costs by eliminating change orders due to an incomplete, out-of-date, or inaccurate set of base plans.

Our clienteles are a mixture of Architects, Interior Designers, Building Owners, Building Managers, Engineers, Homeowners, and Realtors.

The following are some our services but not limited to:

• BOMA Calculation– (Building Owners and Managers Association) calculations refer to a set of standards and guidelines developed by the Building Owners and Managers Association International for measuring and calculating the rentable area of commercial real estate properties. These calculations are commonly used in the real estate industry for lease negotiations, property management, and financial analysis. The BOMA standards provide a uniform method for determining rentable area, which is essential for ensuring consistency and transparency in real estate transactions. 
• Arch. Field Survey– Architectural field measurements to develop As-Built / Existing Condition CAD documentation in AutoCAD and Revit using laser measuring devices such as Leica Disto and 360-degree cameras for higher accuracy. 
• 360 Laser Scanning– Scanning any type of buildings for generating point clouds, which are dense collections of points in a three-dimensional coordinate system. These points serve as a digital representation of the surfaces and objects scanned. Point clouds serve as versatile and powerful tools for architects, enabling them to capture, analyze, and visualize spatial data with a high degree of accuracy and detail, ultimately supporting informed decision-making throughout the architectural design and construction process.
• BIM Modeling– Building Information Modeling (BIM) 3D modeling is a process that involves creating digital representations of buildings and infrastructure using BIM software. BIM 3D models are intelligent, parametric models that contain detailed information about a building’s geometry, spatial relationships, materials, and components.
• ADA Assessment– ADA Assessment Field survey and Compliance Report. 
• Floor Plan-Basic– (Includes walls, windows, doors, openings, posts and stairs)
• Floor Plan-Detailed– (Basic floor plan plus more can be added per project specific needs such as plumbing fixtures, soffits, window type, shelving, cabinets, counters, appliances, exposed beams, penetrations, HVAC registers and railings)
• Exterior Elevation-Basic– (Only crucial structural details captured using single line representation. Elements included are walls, windows, doors, stairs, chimney, posts, beams, roof and attached decks)
• Exterior Elevation-Detailed– (Structural details including highly articulated walls, windows, doors, stairs, attached decks, railing, fascia, chimneys, skylights, trim, ornamentation and finish material annotations. Dimensions include floor to floor, floor to ceiling and header heights)
• Interior Elevation– (All attached elements on a wall with a highly detailed focus. Trim, molding, electrical fixtures, receptacles, plumbing elements, counters, cabinets and shelving)
• Section-Cross– (A view of the structure as if it has been cut through the shortest span from roof to foundation. Observable structural data such as lumber size and spacing is provided where applicable. Does not include interior elevation data but will show single line representation of structural details and major built-ins)
• Section-Long– (A view of the structure as if it has been cut through the longest span from roof to foundation. Observable structural data such as lumber size and spacing is provided where applicable. Does not include interior elevation data but will show single line representation of structural details and major built-ins)
• Electric & Lighting– (Includes lighting, receptacles, switches, control panels, and communication devices. No wire diagram)
• Reflected Ceiling Plan– (A floor plan of the ceiling with correctly sized lighting fixtures, molding, ornamentation, HVAC, soffits, exposed beams and T-bar framing where applicable. Floor plan required)
• Foundation Plan– (Elements included are footings, foundation wall framing, columns, piers, posts, girders, sills, joist spacing and slabs. Observable data only)
• Roof Plan– (Documents the roof outline which includes valleys, ridges, hips, slope drainage, parapet walls, skylights, chimneys and building line. Custom add-ons include vents, HVAC ducting and mechanical equipment)
• Diagram– (This includes a poly-line of walls and jambs only. Exterior wall line is defaulted at 6″ offset)
• Plumbing Plan– (Includes all visible plumbing elements. Floor plan required)
• Mechanical Plan– (Includes visible HVAC ducting and equipment only. Floor plan required)
• Equipment Plan– (Elements included are furnace valve control systems, compressors, pumps and boilers. Floor plan required)
• Column Grid– (Locate and justify all visible columns with member size and frequency annotations. Grid to overlay on floor plan. Floor plan required.
• Arch. Photography– Specialized genre of photography focused on capturing images of buildings, structures, and architectural spaces. It aims to showcase the design, form, materials, and spatial qualities of architecture in a visually compelling and informative way. 
• Converting PDF / JEPG / TIFF files to AutoCAD– Converting existing drawings from PDF, JEPG & TIFF formats into AutoCAD drawings (DWG).
