Services
CAD Drafting
Our CAD drafting services create precise 2D and 3D architectural drawings for residential and commercial projects. Using AutoCAD and REVIT, we produce construction documents, floor plans, and structural designs tailored to client specifications. Our team converts existing blueprints into digital formats and supports complex renovations with detailed modeling.
As-Built Surveys
We conduct high-accuracy as-built surveys using Leica laser scanners to capture thousands of 3D coordinates. This technology generates detailed point clouds for property management, renovations, or compliance documentation. Our surveys meet city and state requirements for commercial and residential buildings.
Change of Use Permits
We streamline certificate of occupancy applications for new building uses, tenant changes, or floor area modifications. Our team prepares required site plans, occupancy calculations, and parking analyses to expedite city approvals. We handle all submittals for permits and represent clients during public hearings.
Shop Drawings
Our shop drawings detail prefabricated components, mechanical systems, and electrical installations for contractors. These plans ensure compliance with building codes and facilitate efficient construction. We collaborate with engineers to integrate plumbing, HVAC, and fire protection systems into final designs.
Site Plans
We create comprehensive site plans including building footprints, landscaping, parking layouts, and utility connections. Our designs meet municipal zoning requirements and incorporate thermal imaging for accurate property assessments. Plans are delivered in AutoCAD, REVIT, or 360-degree formats.
