EXISTING-CONDITION DOCUMENTATION
Need plans for work that already exists? We help organize available measurements and information into clear existing-condition drawings.
What Is This Service?
As-built drawings document observed or provided existing conditions rather than a proposed new design. Their reliability depends on site measurements, photographs, records and the agreed verification scope; they do not automatically certify concealed construction.
Who Is This Service For?
Common Project Challenges
The city requests drawings of the current layout before reviewing changes.
Old permit sheets no longer match what is built.
A designer or contractor needs a usable existing-condition base plan.
Included Scope
The exact scope is tailored to your project and confirmed in your written quotation. Depending on the requirements, the work may include:
Permit Review Context
As-built drawings document existing conditions so a designer, reviewer or owner has a reliable drawing base for renovations, permit corrections, legalization or future work. They are not a land survey and should not be presented as one; the scope depends on what needs to be documented.
We use these topics to frame the drawing scope, but the final submittal requirements are set by the city, county or other reviewing authority for the project address.
From Intake to Deliverables
Send the address, proposed scope, available files and reviewer comments.
We identify missing information and agree on the proposed scope, deliverables and quotation.
The contracted documentation is prepared using the inputs and relevant project requirements.
You check the drawings; agreed corrections and final deliverables follow the written scope.
