As-built drawings are an essential part of the construction process. They provide an accurate record of a project as it was built, which can be used for reference or modification in the future, and to verify that a project was built according to the plans and specifications.

Scan to BIM

Providing fast and accurate as-built BIM models of your facilities. We use the latest laser scanning technologies and software to create as-built BIM models that can be used for a variety of applications such as clash detection, facility management, space planning, and more.

02_3D Scanning (1).gif

3D scanning is a powerful tool for creating as-built documentation. By using laser scanners or other imaging technologies, we can quickly and accurately capture the geometry of existing conditions, even in difficult-to-reach places. This data can then create highly detailed 3D models and drawings.

What you get

ADS documents a building by laser scanning it and drafting from the scan, so the drawings reflect what is standing, not what the last set of plans said. Order what your project needs: a registered 3D point cloud of the whole property; a 360° digital twin to walk through in a browser; 2D CAD in AutoCAD and PDF with floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, elevations and sections; a Revit model at LOD 200–300; MEP and structural elements where scoped; and BOMA or REBNY area calculations on request.

We have not yet published a San Antonio project. Our nearest work is in Dallas, where in spring 2025 we documented two very different buildings a week apart: the James Perse store at 3337 N Fitzhugh Ave, 2,798 sq ft of finished retail, scanned April 2–8, and the Hillcrest Single-Level Brick & Wood Home, a 4,635 sq ft residence captured March 28 to April 4. Further west, Brown Subaru in Amarillo is an 8,200 sq ft dealership we scanned with a Leica RTC360 in November 2024. A boutique, a house and a dealership in Texas give a fair picture of the scope we handle, and the same crew covers San Antonio.

How a San Antonio project runs: send the address, approximate square footage and the deliverables you want, and we send an itemized quote. We do not keep a San Antonio office, so travel is its own line on the quote. On scan day a technician works through the building with the scanner; a store keeps trading, a home stays occupied, and a space the size of the Fitzhugh store is done in a single visit. The scans are registered into one point cloud, the CAD or Revit set is drafted from it, and you review a draft before final delivery.

San Antonio FAQ

What does it cost?
Floor area, the amount of detail in the space, the deliverables you select and travel set the price. Point cloud plus 2D CAD is the lowest tier; Revit, MEP and elevations add drafting time. Quotes are itemized line by line.

Is it worth bringing you in from out of town?
For anything beyond a small single room, yes. The scan is a short visit and the drawing work is remote wherever the building is, so the difference between a local and an out-of-town vendor is mostly the travel line, which we show separately. One visit captures the whole building, so there is no second trip for a missed dimension.

How accurate is it?
We scan with the Leica RTC360 and BLK2GO and the Matterport Pro3, and drawings are traced from the registered point cloud rather than measured by hand. The point cloud itself is delivered, so your consultants can check any dimension against it.

Does the building have to close?
No. We scan around customers, staff and residents, and can work early or late for restaurants and retail.

Will the drawings work for my permit?
Yes. Your architect or engineer uses the set as the existing-conditions base for a remodel, addition or tenant improvement. In San Antonio permits, plan review, inspections and zoning run through the Development Services Department at the Cliff Morton Development and Business Services Center, 1901 S. Alamo St. If the property is an individually designated landmark or sits in one of the city's local historic districts, any exterior work also needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Office of Historic Preservation, issued by staff or referred to the Historic and Design Review Commission. Accurate exterior elevations make that application simpler, and we draw them from the same scan.

Do you handle historic buildings?
Yes. For a historic building on Olvera Street in Los Angeles we replicated non-orthogonal walls, uneven floors and ceilings and façade moldings directly from the point cloud instead of idealizing them. The same approach suits a landmark or historic-district property in San Antonio.

Who owns the files?
You do. CAD, PDF, Revit and the point cloud are delivered to you and your consultants.
