Residential As-Built Deliverables Cheat Sheet

•

5 min read

When we complete a residential as-built survey, we offer a variety of deliverables tailored to your needs. Here’s a quick guide to each format and how it benefits your project:

‍

PDF Floor Plan

What it is:
A clean, easy-to-read floor plan in PDF format.

Why it matters:
Perfect for quick reference, planning, permits, or design discussions.

Includes:

Room dimensions
Wall and door locations
Fixtures and key features

For projects that require spatial clarity in 2D format, our Floor Plans Services deliver clean, highly accurate layouts ready for presentation, space planning, and client approvals.

DWG File (AutoCAD)

What it is:
A native CAD file used by architects, designers, and engineers.

Why it matters:
Editable and scalable for drafting, remodeling, or construction documentation.

Includes:

Accurate wall layouts
Layer-separated elements
Annotations

Gain full visibility into your existing facility with precise, field-verified documentation. Our As-Built Documentation Service captures exact conditions and converts them into professional CAD drawings and BIM models — giving designers, owners, and contractors a reliable foundation for planning, compliance, and lifecycle management.

‍

RVT File (Revit BIM)

What it is:
A 3D model created in Revit for Building Information Modeling (BIM).

Why it matters:
Ideal for firms using BIM workflows—enables design coordination and clash detection.

Includes:

Modeled geometry of walls, floors, windows, and more
Ready for further development

Already have point clouds but need intelligent project-ready models? Our Scan to BIM Services translate raw reality capture data into clean, structured Revit models that support design coordination, clash detection, digital twinning, and asset tracking across the building lifecycle.

‍

E57 or LAS Point Cloud

What it is:
A raw 3D point cloud from LiDAR scans.

Why it matters:
Provides precise spatial reference for modeling or future use.

Includes:

Millions of accurate spatial points
Optional color data

‍

Matterport 3D Virtual Tour (or similar)

What it is:
A navigable, photo-realistic walkthrough of the property.

Why it matters:
Lets stakeholders visually explore the home remotely.

Includes:

Link to an interactive 3D environment for team or client viewing

Accurate decisions start with accurate data. With our 3D Scanning Services, we deploy advanced LiDAR scanners (such as Leica RTC360 and BLK series) to capture millions of measurement points from even complex or congested environments — producing reliable point clouds for use in CAD/BIM workflows, verification reports, and digital twins.

Recommended Package for Residential As-Builts

PDF Floor Plan
DWG File
Optional: Point Cloud (E57) or RVT (Revit) if 3D modeling is needed
Optional: Matterport Tour for visual reference

This combination provides both technical accuracy and user-friendly documentation.
