As-Built Drawings in Boca Grande, FL
Know What's Built Before You Renovate in Boca Grande
Trusted by Leading Brands and Industry Leaders
What you get
An ADS as-built documents a property with a LiDAR scan and turns the scan into the files your designer, engineer or builder work from: a registered 3D point cloud, a 360° digital twin you can open in a browser, 2D CAD in AutoCAD and PDF (floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, elevations and sections), a Revit model at LOD 200–300 (higher when scoped), MEP and structural elements where you need them, and BOMA or REBNY area calculations on request.
We have scanned on the island. Between June 18 and July 3, 2024 we documented the Boca Grande Residence, an 8,426 sq ft waterfront property being planned for renovation and ongoing maintenance. The interior and exterior were captured in a two-hour site visit, and the deliverables were a point cloud, georeferenced orthophotography, floor plans, elevations and sections, and a Revit model at LOD 350 that recorded the architectural layout, structural systems and visible MEP. Sybil Barrido, principal designer at Jeffrey Fisher Home, said: "Their scans captured every architectural, structural, and MEP detail, enabling confident planning while honoring the estate's elegance." Nearby, we scanned the 13,065 sq ft Surf Style store on Fort Myers Beach in April 2024 after Hurricane Ian, and in April 2025 a 64,115 sq ft two-level supermarket building in Bradenton with the Matterport Pro3.
How a Boca Grande project runs: send the address, approximate square footage and the deliverables you want, and we return an itemized quote. ADS has no crew on the island; our one office is in Miami, so travel is shown as its own line. On scan day a technician captures the house inside and out; a property manager or caretaker can provide access, and you do not need to be on the island. The scans are registered into one point cloud, the drawings and model are drafted from it, and you review the set before final delivery.
Boca Grande FAQ
What does it cost?
Floor area, how much detail the house has (finished interiors with millwork take longer to draw than open rooms), the deliverables you choose and travel set the price. Point cloud plus 2D CAD is the base tier; a Revit model adds modeling time. The quote is itemized.
Is it worth bringing you in from out of town?
For a whole house, especially one with an exterior to document, yes: one visit gives your designer, engineer and contractor the same measured base. For a single room it may not be, and we will say so.
How accurate is it?
We scan with Leica RTC360 and BLK2GO scanners and the Matterport Pro3 and draft from the registered point cloud, so dimensions are measured rather than assumed. The Boca Grande Residence was captured in two hours and modeled to LOD 350, including structural and visible MEP elements.
Does the building have to close?
No. A house stays occupied and furnished; we work around residents and staff.
Will the drawings work for my permit?
Yes. Your architect or engineer uses the set as the existing-conditions base for the application. Boca Grande has no city building department: permits for unincorporated Lee County, which includes Boca Grande, go through Lee County Community Development at 1500 Monroe Street in Fort Myers (239-533-8585). Two rules affect scope here. Boca Grande is one of Lee County's designated historic districts, and a Special Certificate of Appropriateness is required before applying for a building, moving or demolition permit for a historic resource. Statewide, under Florida Statute 553.899, condominium and cooperative buildings three stories or taller need a milestone structural inspection at 30 years (25 years within three miles of the coastline) and every ten years after.
Do you document historic island homes?
Yes. For a contributing structure the scan records the existing exterior and interior exactly as they are, which is the starting point for an appropriateness application and for the drawings that follow. We have also documented a historic house in Miami and the National Hotel in Miami Beach's Art Deco Historic District.
Who owns the files?
You do. The point cloud, CAD, PDF and Revit files are delivered to you and your consultants.

Generous ceiling heights and open interior volumes ran across both floors of this Bradenton property, empty for some time before its complete restoration. ADS used a structured scan workflow to keep documentation consistent across multiple interior zones.
