As-Built Drawings in Miami Gardens, FL
Your Miami Gardens Building, Measured and Drawn in CAD
Trusted by Leading Brands and Industry Leaders
What you get
An ADS as-built is a LiDAR scan converted into whichever records your project calls for. The full menu is a registered 3D point cloud of the property, a 360° digital twin that lets your team inspect the building from a browser, 2D CAD drawings in AutoCAD and PDF (floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, elevations and sections), a Revit model at LOD 200–300 for BIM workflows, and MEP and structural elements where they are in scope. BOMA and REBNY area calculations can be added for leasing.
Miami Gardens is in Miami-Dade County, so it is covered from our office at 1110 Brickell Avenue and a crew is usually on site within 24 hours. The nearest published job is the 15,000 sq ft Commercial Warehouse in North Miami, scanned in May and June 2025 before a space reconfiguration: entry points and turning radii recorded for the logistics plan, the ceiling mapped for lighting, HVAC and sprinklers, and the floor covered in phases, with site, floor and ceiling plans delivered in CAD and PDF. Just over the county line is the biggest retail job in our portfolio, the 506,000 sq ft Gulfstream Mall in Hallandale Beach (2021), an open-air complex of shops, restaurants and offices documented by combining terrestrial LiDAR with aerial photogrammetry from a drone, delivered as a point cloud, georeferenced orthophotos, as-built roof and site plans and a Matterport walkthrough that let the leasing and design teams review the property without a visit. James Cohen, VP at SBLM Architects, said we "delivered exactly what we needed — and fast." On the residential side we scanned two houses in Miami's Morningside and NE 6th Court neighborhoods in April 2024, both delivered with Revit models for renovation design.
How a Miami Gardens project runs: send the address, approximate size and the deliverables you want, and we quote. On scan day the technician moves through the building while it stays in use; a store keeps trading and a warehouse keeps shipping. The scans are registered into a single point cloud, the drawings or model are drafted from it, and you review before final delivery. No travel line applies in Miami Gardens; it is served by the Miami office.
Miami Gardens FAQ
What does it cost?
Cost tracks floor area, how much there is to draw (a shell space is faster than a fitted store or a house with a pool deck), the deliverables you pick and the Revit level of detail if you want a model. Point cloud with 2D CAD is the lowest tier. Quotes are itemized so you can trim them.
How accurate is it?
We scan with Leica RTC360 and BLK2GO scanners and Matterport Pro3 and draw from the point cloud rather than from tape measurements. Big sites get the Gulfstream treatment, aerial and ground data combined, so roofs and parking fields are measured, not sketched.
Does the building have to close?
No. Retail, offices and warehouses are scanned while open; we work around shoppers and staff, and after-hours scanning is available for busy floors. Homes are scanned with the owners at home.
Will the drawings work for my permit?
Yes. The set is the existing-conditions base your architect or engineer builds the permit drawings on. In Miami Gardens permits are handled by the City of Miami Gardens Building Services Department at 18605 NW 27th Avenue, which runs an online Building Permitting portal for applications, status, payments and inspections and lists building re-certifications among its services. Two Miami-Dade rules often set the scope: the county sits in the Florida Building Code's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so window, door and roof replacements are designed to HVHZ provisions, and buildings are recertified at 30 years and then every 10 years, a report your engineer prepares from current plans.
Do you scan shopping centers and large commercial sites?
Yes. Gulfstream Mall is the reference: half a million square feet covered by blending drone photogrammetry with ground LiDAR, with outputs structured separately for architects, contractors and the leasing team. Smaller strip centers and single stores follow the same workflow in a fraction of the time.
Who owns the files?
You do. Point cloud, CAD, PDF and Revit files go to you and to any consultant you name.

North Miami, FL · 15,000 sq ft · 2025
Vehicle entry points and turning radii were recorded at this North Miami warehouse to help plan logistics routes. Lighting, HVAC and sprinkler layouts were mapped onto the ceiling plan, and phased scanning covered the full site. - Gulfstream Mall
Hallandale Beach, FL · 506,000 sq ft · 2021
ADS mapped Gulfstream Mall's roofs and grounds with drone imagery and laser scanning, then processed and georeferenced the point cloud. Deliverables were organized for architects, contractors and leasing staff alike. - Tropical Pool Villa in Morningside
Miami, FL · 2,468 sq ft · 2024
Wrought-iron accents, a private pool and tropical landscaping surround this three-bedroom, three-bathroom Upper Eastside house. With no scan data to work from, ADS relied on manual drafting backed by laser measurements, then verified each deliverable against BIM standards. - Garden Residence on NE 6th Court
Miami, FL · 2,718 sq ft · 2024
Interior elevations ran the full height of every room in this single-story, 2,718 sq ft house, showing proportions, finishes and how space was organized. Walls, roofs, windows and the open-frame pergola went into the Revit model in detail.
