Your project starts with what’s already there.
At ArchAsBuilt, we’ve spent over 20 years helping architects, engineers, property owners, and realtors see exactly what they’re working with — before a single design decision gets made.
We specialize in Architectural As-Built / Existing Condition documentation: precise field surveys and drawings that capture a building exactly as it stands today. Whether you’re planning a renovation, acquiring a property, expanding a space, or preparing for a pre-lease assessment, accurate existing-conditions data is where every successful project begins.
Our documentation is thorough enough that your design architect never needs to make a personal site visit. That’s not a convenience — it’s a cost-saving strategy. Incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate base plans are one of the most common causes of change orders during construction. We eliminate that risk at the source.
We work throughout New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, and travel anywhere in the US and Canada for the right project — from residential homes to 100,000+ sq. ft. commercial buildings, including hospitals, office buildings, libraries, and warehouses.
What We Do
Field Survey & 3D Laser Scanning (LiDAR)
Every project starts on-site. Using precision laser measuring devices (Leica Disto), 360° cameras, and LiDAR-based 3D laser scanning, we capture a building’s existing conditions with millimeter-level accuracy — generating dense point clouds that become the foundation for accurate As-Built CAD documentation in AutoCAD and Revit.
BIM Modeling
Survey and scan data can be developed into intelligent, parametric BIM (Building Information Modeling) models — carrying detailed information about geometry, materials, and building systems. We deliver models at the Level of Development (LOD) your project requires, from early conceptual massing (LOD 100) up through fully field-verified as-built models (LOD 500).
Architectural Drawings
Floor plans, interior and exterior elevations, and cross/long sections — delivered at basic or detailed levels depending on how much structural and finish information your project needs.
Building Systems Plans
Documentation of existing electrical, plumbing, mechanical (HVAC), and equipment systems, along with reflected ceiling, foundation, and roof plans — giving your design team a complete picture of what’s behind the walls, not just what’s on the surface.
ADA Assessment
A field survey and compliance evaluation against Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards — covering entrances, pathways, ramps, restrooms, and clearances — with a formal report identifying any deficiencies.
BOMA Calculation
Rentable area measurements calculated to Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) International standards, giving you a consistent, industry-accepted figure for lease negotiations, property management, and financial analysis.
Aerial Photography & Footage
Drone-based aerial photography and footage capturing a property’s roof, site layout, and surrounding context from above — ideal for site assessments, roof condition reports, property marketing, and large-site planning.
Photography & File Conversion
Professional architectural photography, plus conversion of legacy drawings — PDF, JPEG, and TIFF files — into usable AutoCAD (DWG) format.
Existing Fire Sprinkler System Survey
Field verification and documentation of existing fire sprinkler systems — mapping pipe runs and pipe sizes, sprinkler head locations, valves, and control equipment to produce accurate as-built fire protection drawings, ready for a licensed fire protection engineer to use for redesign, modification, or code-compliance work.
Who We Work With
Interior Designers
Building Owners
Building Managers
Engineers
Homeowners
Realtors
Anyone who needs to know exactly what a building looks like today before deciding what it becomes tomorrow.
Why It Matters
Every renovation, acquisition, or expansion carries cost and risk. That risk grows the moment your team is working from plans that don’t match reality. We remove that uncertainty — so your architects can design with confidence, your contractors can bid accurately, and your project moves forward without expensive surprises.
