These two steps are closely related and are always performed together. They can be thought of as preparing the proper canvas on which to create the “masterpiece”.
The existing conditions survey forms the basis from which to evaluate changes, required materials and services, and overall Project costs.
The creation of as-built drawings ensures the design will properly accommodate to or modify existing structures.
- The Production Coordinator/Estimator and Designer will visit the site, take lots of digital photos, make detailed measurements of interior and exterior spaces, and make lists of materials and systems in place.
- The measurements (or Owner-provided drawings) are input into Contractor’s CAD program, and plans are generated, which may consist of: Foundation plan; Floor plan(s); Elevations; and Site Plan(s). We will send you copies of as-built plans either electronically or printed, as requested.
- Existing conditions details are incorporated into our database(s) to ensure appropriate design guidance and to facilitate comprehensive pricing.
