As-Built Drawings in New Haven, CT
Know What's Built Before You Renovate in New Haven
Trusted by Leading Brands and Industry Leaders
What you get
Renovations in older buildings usually begin with the question of what is actually there after decades of alterations. We answer it with a scan. A technician captures the building with a Leica RTC360, BLK2GO or Matterport Pro3, the scans are registered into one 3D point cloud, and the drawings are drafted from the cloud: floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, elevations and sections in AutoCAD and PDF, a Revit model at LOD 200–300 for teams working in BIM, and MEP and structural elements where you need them. A 360° digital twin lets consultants check conditions remotely, and BOMA/REBNY area calculations are available on request.
Our nearest published project to New Haven is in Greenwich, a 6,200 sq ft contemporary residence on Baldwin Farms documented in early 2025. In New York we scanned a 2,500 sq ft Manhattan office suite, a 2,590 sq ft Midtown South salon with a Matterport Pro3, a 7,788 sq ft beachfront house in Kings Point, and the 565,308 sq ft Poughkeepsie State Office Building complex, where interior layouts, façade elevations and site topography were delivered in AutoCAD, PDF and Revit. Shafi Rahman of Willdan, architectural designer on that project, described "Impressive precision and dependable project management support."
How a New Haven project runs: we quote from the address, square footage and deliverable list, with travel as its own line; one scan visit while the building stays open; registration, drafting, your review, our revisions, final delivery.
New Haven FAQ
What does it cost?
Square footage, complexity, deliverables and travel. A bare floor plate is quick; a fitted-out lab or restaurant with exposed services takes longer. A point cloud with CAD is the base tier; Revit and MEP add drafting time. Quotes are itemized.
Is it worth bringing you in from out of town?
New Haven is within easy reach of our Greenwich and New York projects, so travel is a modest line. For any whole building or tenant space, a measured record costs less than the rework it prevents.
How accurate is it?
Dimensions are read from the LiDAR point cloud, so nothing in the set is estimated. The tolerance for your deliverables is confirmed in the quote.
Does the building have to close?
No. We scan with occupants in place and work around people, furniture and equipment; after-hours scanning can be arranged.
Will the drawings work for my permit?
Yes, as the existing-conditions base your architect or engineer submits. In New Haven, building permits are handled by the City of New Haven Building Department at 200 Orange Street, 5th Floor, which accepts applications through its online permitting portal and in person. Your design professional files; we make sure the existing conditions behind the application are measured.
Can you document a building with high ceilings and ornate detail?
Yes. Tall spaces, moldings and irregular walls are captured in the point cloud, and interior elevations and sections can be drafted to show them.
Who owns the files?
You do. Point cloud, CAD, PDF and Revit are delivered to you and your consultants.

- Baldwin Farms Contemporary Residence
Greenwich, CT · 6,200 sq ft · 2025
Snow on the ground during this winter survey meant scanning the exterior in phases to get full coverage. Complex roof and attic geometry was then aligned carefully from the point cloud. - Office Suite in Manhattan
New York, NY · 2,500 sq ft · 2024
High ceilings layered with infrastructure needed advanced scanning methods in this 2,500 sq ft office unit. The LOD 300 Revit model was structured for renovation and facility management, alongside 2D CAD floor plans, RCPs, elevations, sections and schedules. - Russian Nails Salon, Midtown South
Manhattan, NY · 2,590 sq ft · 2024
ADS ran an interior Matterport survey of this Midtown South salon, exported the point cloud for modeling, and produced Revit and AutoCAD files to support the client's design and construction planning. - Kings Point Beachfront Residence
Kings Point, NY · 7,788 sq ft · 2025
A three-level beachfront main house and pool house totaling 7,788 sq ft, documented for renovation. In a 10-day LiDAR survey, ADS scanned interiors and exteriors and delivered a point cloud, digital twin, LOD 300 Revit model and CAD/PDF sets. - Poughkeepsie State Office Building
Poughkeepsie, NY · 565,308 sq ft · 2025
Walls, windows and roofs were mapped with precise alignment across every elevation of this Hudson Valley state office complex. ADS developed the Revit model from LiDAR data, and its CAD set covered floor plans, facade elevations and contours.
