Our team delivers commercial as-built drawings in San Francisco and Los Angeles for tenant improvement and renovation projects, with regional coverage across the Southwest.
We support commercial renovation and development projects including office tenant improvements, retail buildouts, restaurants and hospitality spaces, multi-tenant buildings, and shared common areas and corridors.
Our commercial as-built drawings are field-verified and typically support ±1/8″ documentation tolerances under standard commercial conditions. Every project goes through internal QA/QC review — including dimensional cross-checking and point cloud verification — before delivery.
Why Commercial Projects Need As-Built
Our commercial as-built drawings are purpose-built for tenant improvements, retail buildouts, multi-tenant reconfigurations, and permit submissions. Every package includes field-verified floor plans, reflected ceiling plans (RCPs), interior elevations, and door/window schedules — all delivered as CAD drawings or Revit-ready models. Whether you need documentation for a single suite or an entire multi-story building, our scan-to-as-built workflow ensures millimeter-accurate results your design and construction team can rely on.
Every commercial building has a unique footprint — and many have been altered over time. When plans are outdated or missing altogether, design teams, contractors, and developers risk major delays and expensive rework. That’s why starting with trusted as-built documentation is so important. Please review our Privacy Policy to learn how your information is handled. With LiDAR Precise Plans, you’ll get:

Frequently Asked Questions — Commercial As-Built Drawings
Commercial as-built drawings typically include field-verified floor plans, reflected ceiling plans (RCPs), and exterior elevations (with interior elevations or sections added as needed by scope). Doors, windows, columns, demising walls, and major MEP elements visible/accessible at time of capture can be documented based on your requirements. Deliverables are provided in PDF and CAD (DWG) formats, with Revit models available when requested. Packages can be scoped for a single tenant suite, a full floor, or an entire multi-story building.
Pricing depends on square footage, complexity, number of floors, ceiling height variation, access, and required deliverables. Typical commercial as-built projects range from $1,500 for a small tenant suite to $12,000+ for larger multi-story buildings with expanded deliverables (elevations, sections, Revit, etc.). We quote fixed-fee pricing based on your scope so you know the cost before we begin.
Field capture is typically completed in one visit, ranging from a few hours for a single suite to a full day (or more) for larger multi-floor buildings. CAD deliverables are commonly ready within 5–10 business days depending on complexity and scope. Revit models typically require 10–15 business days. If you have a permit-driven deadline, rush turnaround may be available depending on schedule and scope.
Yes. We can format floor plans, elevations, and sections for commercial permit submittals using standard sheet conventions (scale notation, north arrow, title block, and consistent sheet organization). If your jurisdiction or architect has specific formatting requirements, share them up front and we’ll match those standards so your team can submit without reformatting.
Yes — TI as-built drawings are one of our most common commercial requests. We document existing conditions in leased spaces (demising walls, storefront conditions, column locations, ceiling grids, and visible MEP rough-ins as required) so your design team can start TI planning from accurate base drawings. We coordinate directly with the tenant, landlord, architect, or contractor depending on who is managing the project.
Yes. We can convert point cloud data into a Revit model built to your specified Level of Development (LOD). Architectural elements like walls, floors, ceilings, openings, and structural columns are modeled based on scope. If MEP modeling is needed, it can be included by request. Revit deliverables can follow your naming conventions and standards so the model plugs into your workflow cleanly.
Under standard commercial conditions, our LiDAR-based workflow supports ±1/8" documentation tolerances for architectural drawings, depending on access, line-of-sight, and project constraints. Every deliverable goes through QA/QC, including dimension checks and cross-referencing against the registered point cloud. For tight-tolerance projects (equipment coordination, retrofit interfaces, etc.), we can scope additional verification and provide registration/QC documentation when requested.
Absolutely. We regularly scan high-rise office buildings, hotels, and mixed-use structures.
Yes. We routinely document multi-story office buildings, mixed-use developments, and multi-tenant retail centers across multiple floors in a single mobilization — minimizing disruption to building operations and tenant access.
Yes. Our team is available after delivery to make minor changes or help your team use the files effectively. Most minor revisions or formatting updates are typically completed within 1–2 business days, depending on scope.
Yes — our scans capture visible MEP elements and include ceiling and floor-to-floor heights in the drawings or models. Yes. We can document ceiling heights, lighting layouts, visible MEP fixtures, and structural elements as required by your scope. This is particularly valuable for tenant improvement (TI) projects, MEP coordination drawings, and reflected ceiling plan (RCP) documentation.
We can provide building sections, volumetric data, and square footage calculations if requested. Yes. Section cuts, key details, and area takeoffs can be included as part of permit-ready commercial as-built packages or change-of-use documentation.
