As-Built Drawings in Hawthorne, CA
Your Hawthorne Building, Measured and Drawn in CAD
Trusted by Leading Brands and Industry Leaders
What you get
Our nearest published project to Hawthorne is a short drive south in Rolling Hills: the multi-tenant suites on Silver Spur Road, 4,700 sq ft documented in November 2024. In Los Angeles itself we mapped the second floor of a 3,117 sq ft historic institutional building on Olvera Street in May 2026, using Leica laser scanning to capture non-orthogonal walls, uneven floors and facade mouldings as they are rather than as an idealized model, and delivering Revit, CAD floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, interior elevations and schedules. A 1,000 sq ft entryway and hall survey in Sherman Oaks (2025) and a 5,300 sq ft industrial facility at Thornmint Court in San Diego, modeled to LOD 300 with its MEP, round out the Southern California list.
For a Hawthorne building the deliverables are the same menu: registered 3D point cloud, 360° digital twin, 2D CAD in AutoCAD and PDF (floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, elevations, sections), Revit at LOD 200–300, and MEP and structural elements where scoped. BOMA or REBNY area calculations on request.
How a Hawthorne project runs: itemized quote from the address, square footage and deliverables, with travel as its own line; a single scan visit with the building open; registration, drafting, your review, final delivery.
Hawthorne FAQ
What does it cost?
Floor area, how much is in the space, which deliverables you want and travel. An open warehouse floor drafts faster than a finished office; a Revit model costs more than CAD alone. The quote is itemized.
Is it worth bringing you in from out of town?
We have documented Rolling Hills, Sherman Oaks and downtown Los Angeles, and travel is quoted as a single line in any case. The scan is usually one visit.
How accurate is it?
Leica RTC360, Leica BLK2GO and Matterport Pro3 scanners capture the building; the drawings are traced from the point cloud, so dimensions are measured rather than assumed. The Olvera Street project shows the approach on an irregular historic structure.
Does the building have to close?
No. We scan around staff, tenants and customers, and can work after hours where a space is busy by day.
Will the drawings work for my permit?
Yes. The set is prepared as the existing-conditions base your architect or engineer submits to the City of Hawthorne's building department. Applications filed in California on or after January 1, 2026 are reviewed under the 2025 California codes. Your design professional makes the submittal.
Who owns the files?
You do. Point cloud, CAD, PDF and Revit are delivered to you and your consultants.
Nearby ADS projects
Scanned by our crews around Los Angeles and Southern California:
- Multi-Tenant Suites, Silver Spur Road
Rolling Hills Estates, CA · 4,700 sq ft · 2024
ADS turned LiDAR scans of both suites and their shared exterior into Revit and CAD deliverables, covering walls, ceilings and MEP, with annotations set up for architectural and permitting needs. - Sepulveda - Level 2 Historic Documentation
Los Angeles, CA · 3,117 sq ft · 2026
During the Level 2 survey, ADS also scanned an unplanned technical room and handed over its full point cloud. Coordinated Revit, CAD and PDF documentation gave the architects a base for renovation planning. - Sherman Oaks Entryway & Hall Survey
Sherman Oaks, CA · 1,000 sq ft · 2025
ADS documented the entryways and halls of this private residence, modeling exterior elevations and transition zones and preparing the point cloud for use in Revit and AutoCAD. - Commercial Facility at Thornmint Court
San Diego, CA · 5,300 sq ft · 2025
ADS handled this Thornmint Court project from scan to BIM, capturing the facility's MEP network and structural layout so the renovation team could plan system upgrades and long-term facility coordination.
