Your team should be designing, not measuring. ThoroAsBuilt delivers laser-precise as-built plan sets you can design from on day one — captured by 3D scanning, drafted and checked by a documentation lead with 33 years in architecture, and ready for your renovation drawings and DOB alteration filings.
One team takes your project from 3D capture to a finished drawing set — architectural baseline as standard, with electrical & plumbing fixture locations, window and door schedules, or site context added only when you want them. You never pay for drawings you won't use.
TAB-01
As-Built Floor Plans & RCPs
Fully dimensioned floor plans and reflected ceiling plans of existing conditions — scaled, layered, and labeled to your office standards, so the set drops straight into your workflow.
Deliverables: DWG · PDF
TAB-02
Elevations, Sections & Details
Interior and exterior elevations, building sections, RCPs, and construction details that document what's actually there — not what the 1962 filing set claims.
Deliverables: DWG · PDF
TAB-03
Site Capture & 3D Scanning
One quick site visit — typically 2–4 hours — of 3D laser capture and photo documentation, scheduled around your client's occupants and operations.
Deliverables: Point cloud (E57) · Photo record
TAB-04
CAD & Revit Modeling
Existing-conditions models built from scan data — clean geometry your design team can start working in on day one, in whatever platform your office runs.
Deliverables: RVT · DWG · SKP · Rhino · ArchiCAD
TAB-05
3D Renderings & Visualization
Photorealistic interior and exterior renderings for presentations, listings, board approvals, and pre-construction sign-off.
Deliverables: High-res stills
TAB-06
Square Footage Reports
Measured area calculations to support leasing, listings, and filings — documented so the numbers hold up when someone asks how you got them.

Capture TechnologySheet A-150
How a scan becomes your drawing set
We don't measure a building corner to corner with a tape and hope. LiDAR 3D scanning captures the entire space as measured data — then experienced drafters turn that data into sheets, delivered in any format your office works in: AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, ArchiCAD, PDF, and registered point clouds.
CAPTURE
Scan the space
LiDAR scanning sweeps the property and captures millions of measured points — every wall, opening, fixture, and ceiling height — in a single site visit. Faster than tape, and nothing gets missed.
REGISTER
Build the point cloud
Individual scans are aligned into one registered point cloud: a dimensionally accurate digital copy of the building we can measure from long after we've left the site.
DRAFT
Draw from data
Our drafters trace real geometry from the scan — not assumptions — and cross-check every dimension against field photos and notes before QC sign-off. Registered point clouds (.e57) are available as a deliverable on request.

From site to sheet
A tight, predictable workflow — because your schedule is built around ours.
STEP 01
Fixed Quote in 24 Hours
Send the address, approximate square footage, and the deliverables you need — you get a flat fee in writing, not an estimate that grows.
STEP 02
One Quick Site Visit
Typically 2–4 hours of 3D laser capture and photo documentation, scheduled around your client's occupants and operations.
STEP 03
Drafting & Field-Informed QA
Scan data becomes clean CAD, checked by 33 years of knowledge of how NYC buildings are actually put together — not just how the scanner saw them.
STEP 04
On-Time Delivery
Standard apartments and retail spaces in 5–7 business days; larger scopes get a committed date at quote. Files arrive ready for your title block.

Why ThoroAsBuiltSheet A-400
Thorough is in the name
Plenty of firms can scan a room. Fewer can turn that data into a drawing set an architect actually wants to inherit.
Trust it without re-measuring
Every set is produced and reviewed by a documentation lead with 33 years in architecture. You get drawings made by someone who knows what your drafters need — not raw scanner output.
No project too small
Single apartments and single storefronts get the same priority as full buildings — the jobs other scanning firms make you wait weeks for are our bread and butter.
Built for real NYC buildings
Pre-war quirks, out-of-plumb walls, settled floors — we document what's actually there, which is the entire reason you're hiring an as-built in the first place.
Your deadline is the deliverable
24-hour quotes, committed delivery dates, and one point of contact from scan to final file. No hourly meters, no scope creep, no chasing.

Pricing GuideSheet A-450
Pricing schedule
NYC as-built rates commonly run $0.50–$3.00 / SF. Ours land at the accessible end of that range — without the accuracy trade-off. Every project gets a fixed quote in writing before we start.

FAQSheet A-500
Questions, answered
It's an accurate record of a building as it exists today — actual wall locations, dimensions, openings, and heights — rather than what old filed plans say. Architects and contractors use these drawings as the verified starting point for renovations, filings, leasing, and permits.
Any format your office works in: AutoCAD (.dwg), Revit (.rvt), SketchUp, Rhino, ArchiCAD, PDF, and registered point clouds (.e57) — if your team can open it, we can deliver it. We draw to your layer standards and title block if you have them.
Quotes go out within 24 hours. Standard apartments and retail spaces are delivered in 5–7 business days; larger scopes get a committed date with the quote — and we hit it.
Flat project pricing based on square footage, scope, and deliverables — quoted up front in writing within 24 hours. See the pricing schedule above for typical ranges; no hourly billing, no surprises at invoice.
All five boroughs — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. We're fully insured. For projects outside the city, reach out — we travel for the right scope.
Yes — most of our site visits happen in occupied apartments, active offices, and live job sites. We schedule around tenants and trades, capture what we need in one visit, and stay out of the way.
