What Are Measured Drawings?
Measured drawings — also called as-built drawings or record drawings — are precise architectural floor plans created by physically measuring an existing building. Unlike contractor sketches or old permits, measured drawings reflect actual field-verified dimensions, wall locations, door and window placements, and spatial conditions as they exist today.
At Concept Architectural Designs, we use professional measuring equipment and produce all drawings in AutoCAD (.dwg) or Revit (.rvt) — the industry-standard formats required by most building departments, architects, and engineers.
Whether your building was constructed in 1955 or 2005, accurate as-built drawings eliminate guesswork, reduce costly field errors during construction, and give every consultant on your project the same reliable baseline.
Common Uses for As-Built Drawings
- Permit and building department submittals
- Tenant improvement (TI) planning and leasing
- Home renovation or addition design
- Commercial remodel and buildout coordination
- Real estate due diligence and listings
- Insurance claims and loss documentation
- Historic preservation and HABS documentation
- Space planning for office/retail relocations
- Structural, MEP, or fire protection consultant coordination

Why Accurate As-Built Drawings Matter
Working from inaccurate or missing drawings creates cascading problems: failed plan checks, construction surprises, structural conflicts, and budget overruns. Field-verified drawings prevent all of it.
01
Permit Approval
Building departments require accurate existing-conditions drawings as the foundation for any permit submittal. Our drawings meet AHJ standards in all four of our service regions.
02
Construction Accuracy
Contractors and subcontractors rely on precise dimensions to bid, order materials, and execute work. Inaccurate drawings are a leading cause of costly change orders.
03
Consultant Coordination
Structural engineers, MEP designers, and interior architects all need a reliable base plan. Our AutoCAD and Revit files integrate directly into their workflows.
04
Investment Protection
For investors and owners, accurate as-builts protect real estate value, simplify due diligence, and support insurance and financing documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about measured drawings and working with Concept Architectural Designs.
What is the difference between as-built drawings and construction drawings?
As-built drawings (also called measured drawings or record drawings) document a building as it currently exists — walls, openings, fixtures, and dimensions all field-verified. Construction drawings (also called construction documents or permit plans) are design drawings used to obtain building permits and direct contractors during a renovation or new construction project. Many projects require both: as-builts as the starting baseline, then construction documents layered on top showing the proposed changes.
Do I need as-built drawings to pull a building permit?
In most jurisdictions, yes — a permit application for a renovation or addition must include drawings that show existing conditions as well as proposed work. Building departments require this so plan reviewers can understand what is changing and verify code compliance. If no existing drawings are on file or available, field-measured as-builts from Concept Architectural Designs provide the verified baseline your permit set needs.
What format will my drawings be delivered in?
We deliver drawings in AutoCAD (.dwg), Revit (.rvt), and/or PDF depending on your selected service and deliverable format. AutoCAD is the most widely used format and is compatible with virtually all design software. Revit is preferred for BIM workflows, 3D coordination, and projects involving multiple consultants. PDF is included as a standard supplemental format with all projects.
How long does it take to receive my drawings?
Standard turnaround following the site visit is 5–10 business days depending on project size and complexity. Rush delivery (under 5 business days) is available for an additional fee. Timeline is confirmed in your written proposal prior to project start.
Can you work from photos or a floor plan I already have?
In some cases, yes — particularly for plan modifications or corrections where existing CAD files are available. However, for as-built or measured drawing projects, a physical site visit is required to verify actual field conditions. Old permits, photos, and existing drawings are helpful as references but do not replace field measurement for permit-quality deliverables.
Do your drawings include a licensed architect's stamp?
Concept Architectural Designs provides CAD and BIM drafting, documentation, and design services. Whether a licensed architect's stamp or engineer's seal is required for your specific permit submittal depends on your project type, jurisdiction, and scope of work. We will advise you on what stamping requirements apply in your city and can coordinate with licensed professionals when required. Some residential projects and tenant improvement plans may proceed with drawings that do not require a stamp — always verify with your local building department.
