As-Built Drawings in McAllen, TX
Laser-Scanned Floor Plans for McAllen Buildings
Trusted by Leading Brands and Industry Leaders
What you get
When ADS documents a building in McAllen, the drawings come from a laser scan rather than from hand measurement. Order what you need: a registered 3D point cloud, a 360° digital twin to 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 where the scope includes them. BOMA and REBNY area calculations are available on request.
We have not yet published a McAllen or Rio Grande Valley project; our Texas work to date is in Dallas and Amarillo. In 2025 we scanned the 2,798 sq ft James Perse store at 3337 N Fitzhugh Avenue in Dallas and a 4,635 sq ft single-level brick and wood home in the Hillcrest area. In 2024 we documented the 8,200 sq ft Brown Subaru dealership in Amarillo. Retail, residential and automotive are three very different scopes, and the same workflow handled all of them.
How a McAllen project runs: send the address, approximate square footage and the deliverables you want, and we return an itemized quote with travel to the Valley shown as its own line, since we do not keep a local crew in Hidalgo County. On scan day the store, clinic or warehouse stays open while the technician works. The scans are registered into one point cloud, drafted into your deliverables, and sent to you for review before final delivery.
McAllen FAQ
What does it cost?
Floor area first, then complexity (a clinic with many small rooms takes longer than an open warehouse of the same size), then deliverables and travel. Point cloud and 2D CAD is the base; Revit is extra. Every item is listed separately.
Is it worth bringing you in from out of town?
For one small room, no. For a shopping-center suite, a medical office, a dealership or a whole warehouse, the scan usually costs less than a single set of corrections caused by a bad base plan, and the travel line is a small share of the total.
How accurate is it?
Leica RTC360 and BLK2GO scanners and the Matterport Pro3 record the building as a dense point cloud, and the CAD and Revit sets are drawn from it. Dimensions are measured, not estimated.
Does the building have to close?
No. The scan is non-contact and quiet. Customers and staff keep working; we schedule around peak hours or come after close if you prefer.
Will the drawings work for my permit?
Yes, as the existing-conditions base. Inside the city, plan review, permits and inspections are handled by the City of McAllen Building Permits & Inspections Department, which takes applications through its online permit portal. Your architect or engineer prepares and files the submittal.
Who owns the files?
You do. CAD, PDF, Revit and the point cloud go to you and the consultants you name.

- James Perse, 3337 N Fitzhugh Ave
Dallas, TX · 2,798 sq ft · 2025
A 2,798 sq ft corner-lot former pet store being converted into a James Perse boutique. ADS surveyed architecture and MEP for design and permitting, delivering a point cloud, 360° digital twin, LOD 300 Revit model and AutoCAD and PDF sheets. - Hillcrest Single-Level Brick & Wood Home
Dallas, TX · 4,635 sq ft · 2025
The sloped garage terrain at this Dallas residence had to be modeled with its topography and elevation changes. ADS also mapped lighting, audio, alarm and security systems so future technical work could be planned. - Brown Subaru
Amarillo, TX · 8,200 sq ft · 2024
ADS combined a Leica RTC360 and a Matterport Pro3 to capture this 8,200 sq ft Brown Subaru building, then drafted in AutoCAD and Revit. The high-density point cloud recorded architectural detail, and the walkthrough added project visualization.
