Residential As-Built Surveys

Worry-Free Home Renovations Start with a Smart Plan.
Stress Free. Worry Free. Smoother remodels.

The first step in any smart renovation is an As-Built Survey providing a precise set of plans. Whether it’s your home or your client’s home, starting a remodel should be an exciting time and not a stressful endeavor. PPM’s residential As-Built Surveying services help ensure your home makeover project gets started on the right track. This important first step provides architects, designers, and contractors the accurate and up-to-date As-Built plans needed to redesign a living space – all while avoiding costly mistakes, delays, and unwelcome surprises old or inaccurate plans can cause.

3D Laser Scanning for As-Built Surveys

3D laser scanners are used by many industries in different ways. As an As-Built Survey provider, we use special 3D laser scanners to capture millions of data points which render into a point cloud. The resulting point cloud is a digital twin of your building and is used as a map for drafting by our Production team. Sectioning through the point cloud allows our drafters and modelers to create the most accurate As-Built  plans. And, it’s a great resource for our quality assurance team.

3D Laser Scanning Benefits for Homeowners

  • 3D laser scanning allows us to move through your home more quickly.
  • It provides a digital twin which helps us ensure the most accurate deliverables.
  • Accuracy helps avoid budget overages and extensions to your timeline.

Residential As-Built Drawings

PPM offers the following As-Built architectural drawings for residential properties. Your specific needs for your remodel project will likely depend on the work you are planning to do to the home. Your architect, contractor, or other professional consultant should be able to help you determine the As-Built plans you will need to get started. When working with PPM, you may choose the individual drawings that you need, or choose from one of our popular Service Packages which contain common bundles of plans at a volume discount.

3D Residential As-Built BIM Models

Choose your preferred format in Revit or ArchiCAD

3D As-Built BIM Models have become quite popular with our architecture clients. Not only are they visually appealing, they also help with many logistics of the project like cost schedules, clash detection, and managing project changes. View the residence from any angle and section the model to focus on specific areas. Conveniently export to 2D drawings.

PPM offers Revit and ArchiCAD BIM deliverables to fit your preference.

360° Virtual Tours

Remote Site Visits Made Easy.

360° Virtual Tours powered by Matterport simplify the entire remodel process by providing your team of architects, designers and contractors, a virtual 3D tour of your home or your clients home. Take basic measurements, “walk through”, or view as a “doll house” to eliminate unnecessarily site visits and save precious design time.
