As-Built Services (Existing Floor Plans)

When one needs to do some alterations or additions to an existing building, Our Architects find that they need accurately measured drawings of the building structure as it stands. This is called “As-Builts or “measured drawings” of existing conditions. If the original drawings of the building are not available, then we can also measure and record it in some quick and accurate manner so that workable plans, elevations, etc. can be drawn easily.
