As-Built Drawings in Harrisonburg, VA
Your Harrisonburg Building, Measured and Drawn in CAD
Trusted by Leading Brands and Industry Leaders
What you get
Before anyone in Harrisonburg draws a renovation, someone has to establish what is there now. That is the as-built, and ADS produces it from a laser scan rather than a tape. Depending on the scope you order, you receive a registered 3D point cloud, a 360° digital twin you can walk through online, 2D CAD in AutoCAD and PDF (floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, elevations and sections), a Revit model at LOD 200–300, and MEP or structural elements documented where you need them. BOMA and REBNY area calculations are available on request.
We have not yet published a Harrisonburg or Shenandoah Valley project. The nearest is a 5,069 sq ft rowhouse on Pratt Street in Baltimore, scanned in January 2025. Further afield are the Gallery House in Charlotte, a 10,443 sq ft commercial building documented in February 2025, and a 9,110 sq ft single-family home in Banner Elk, in the North Carolina mountains (summer 2024). A Harrisonburg house, apartment building or downtown storefront is scanned and drafted the same way.
The order of events for a Harrisonburg job: you send the address, approximate square footage and the deliverables you want; we quote, with travel on its own line. A technician scans the building in one visit while it stays occupied. The scans are registered into one point cloud. The CAD set or Revit model is drafted from that cloud. You review the draft and we revise before the final files are released.
Harrisonburg FAQ
What does it cost?
The price follows floor area, the amount of detail in the building, the deliverables you select and the travel to Harrisonburg. A point cloud with 2D CAD is the entry tier; a Revit model adds modeling hours and is quoted separately. You can strike any line you do not need.
Is it worth bringing you in from out of town?
Usually, yes. The site visit is short, so travel is one modest line on the quote, and all drafting is done remotely wherever the building stands. Owners with several properties in the Valley, in Harrisonburg and Staunton for example, often have them scanned on the same trip.
How accurate is it?
Dimensions come from a Leica RTC360, Leica BLK2GO or Matterport Pro3 point cloud, not from hand measurement, so the drawing shows what the scanner recorded in the building.
Does the building have to close?
No. The technician works around residents, tenants or shoppers during ordinary hours, and we can scan outside business hours when that is less disruptive.
Will the drawings work for my permit?
Yes. Your architect or engineer uses the set as the existing-conditions base for a submittal to the City of Harrisonburg Building Inspections Division, part of the Department of Community Development at 409 S Main Street, which requires a permit for new construction, alterations, additions and demolitions and takes applications through its online permit portal. The design professional carries the permit; we supply accurate existing conditions.
Who owns the files?
You do. Point cloud, CAD, PDF and Revit files go to you and to anyone you name.
