CAD Drafting Services Delivered from 3D Laser Scan Data
CAD drafting services help architects, engineers, and construction professionals design and build from reality, not assumptions. Starting with high-precision 3D laser scan data, we produce accurate, construction-ready floor plans, elevations, and sections that reflect how your building actually exists in the field, giving teams a verified foundation for every planning, coordination, and construction decision.
Accurate As-Built Drawings for Historic Buildings
What is CAD Drafting?
CAD drafting is the process of converting 3D laser scan point clouds into precise 2D drawings, including floor plans, elevations, sections, and reflected ceiling plans. Because every line traces real scan data rather than assumptions or outdated measurements, these drawings are widely used across architecture, engineering, and construction to improve accuracy, coordination, and confidence on renovation and existing building projects.
TrueScan’s CAD Drafting Process
Data Capture
We scan your space in a single site visit, capturing walls, openings, ceilings, and structural elements with millimeter-level precision, to create a reliable foundation for your project.
Data Processing
Scan data is registered into a clean, georeferenced point cloud. All drawings reference this model, ensuring consistency and alignment with real-world conditions.
Drawing Creation
Our team produces floor plans, elevations, sections, and reflected ceiling plans directly from the point cloud, delivering a complete and accurate representation of existing conditions.
Quality Assurance
Completed drawings are reviewed against the point cloud and project scope to ensure dimensional accuracy and eliminate errors that lead to costly rework.
Delivery & Support
Final CAD files are delivered in DWG and PDF formats, ready for immediate use in design and construction.
Benefits of CAD Drafting Services
Design with Confidence
Make decisions faster, coordinate more effectively, and move through permitting and bidding with fewer unknowns.
Discover Unknowns
Reveal non-standard dimensions, undocumented changes, and hidden conditions before they impact your project.
Reduce Change Orders
Work from verified as-built plans that reflect real conditions, minimizing surprises and costly rework during construction.
Improve Accuracy
Drawings created from laser scan data deliver far greater precision than tape measurements, sketches, or outdated records.
Who Uses CAD Drafting Services?
Architects
Architects use CAD drafting to document existing conditions and develop accurate plans for renovation, design, and permitting.
Developers
Developers use CAD drafting to support due diligence, evaluate existing conditions, and guide design and construction decisions.
Engineers
Engineers rely on detailed drawings to analyze systems, coordinate disciplines, and ensure designs align with real-world conditions.
Facility Managers
Facility managers use CAD drawings to maintain up-to-date building documentation for operations, maintenance, and future projects.
General Contractors
General contractors use as-built plans to plan construction, verify field conditions, and reduce conflicts between drawings and reality.
Cost of CAD Drafting Services
TrueScan CAD drafting services typically range from $4,000 to $12,000+, depending on building size and complexity, number of drawing sheets required, level of detail and scope (floor plans only vs. full plan set with elevations and sections), and site access conditions.
Timeline
Most CAD drafting projects at TrueScan are completed within 2 to 6 weeks from site mobilization to final drawing delivery. We’ll provide a specific timeline with your project proposal.
