As-Built Drawings in Skokie, IL
Laser-Scanned Floor Plans for Skokie Buildings

What you get
What ADS hands over at the end of a job is a set of files, so here is what they are. From a scan with the Leica RTC360, Leica BLK2GO or Matterport Pro3 we produce, as you specify: a registered 3D point cloud, the measured record everything else comes from; a 360° digital twin you can open in a browser to check a condition without driving over; 2D CAD in AutoCAD and PDF with floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, elevations and sections; a Revit model at LOD 200–300 for teams working in BIM; MEP and structural elements where you need them; and BOMA or REBNY area calculations on request.
We have not yet published a Skokie project. Our nearest is in Chicago, a 400 sq ft luxury kitchen scanned in June 2025 as a pre-installation survey so the cabinetry could be built to the measured room. Other Midwest work includes Daylight Coffee on Pinehurst Drive in Basehor, Kansas, a 1,750 sq ft corner-lot shop with storefront glazing and exposed ceilings scanned in May 2024, and the Windsor store at Easton Town Center in Columbus, Ohio, 4,358 sq ft, in 2025.
How a Skokie project runs: you send the address, approximate square footage and deliverables, and we send back an itemized quote with travel on its own line. A technician scans the building in one visit while it stays in use. We register the scans into a single point cloud, draft the drawings from it, and you review the set before the final files go out.
Skokie FAQ
What does it cost?
The price depends on area, how much there is to draw (a light-industrial shell is quick; a fitted office or lab with ceilings, casework and exposed MEP is slower), which deliverables you want and travel. Point cloud and 2D CAD is the base; Revit adds modeling. Each line is itemized.
Is it worth bringing you in from out of town?
We keep no crew in Skokie, and travel is quoted separately so you can see what it adds. The scan captures the whole building in one visit, which is where the saving against a hand-measured survey comes from.
How accurate is it?
Dimensions are taken from the registered point cloud, so they are measured rather than estimated, and the scanner settings are adjusted on site for glass and reflective surfaces.
Does the building have to close?
No. We scan during normal hours around the people using the building, and can come evenings or weekends when that is easier for you.
Will the drawings work for my permit?
Yes, as the existing-conditions base your architect or engineer submits from. In Skokie that submittal goes to the Village of Skokie's building department; your design professional handles it, and our job is to make sure the existing conditions in it are right.
Who owns the files?
You do. CAD, PDF, Revit and the point cloud are delivered to you and your consultants.

Chicago, IL · 400 sq ft · 2025
