Scan to CAD drawings measured from the cloud
Measured 2D plans, sections, elevations and ceiling plans drawn straight from your laser scans, on your layers and title blocks. Ideal when you need reliable existing drawings and don't need a full model.

2D drawings without returning to site
Not every project needs BIM. For a fit-out, a lease plan or a planning application, a good set of measured 2D drawings is often all the design team wants, and drawing from a point cloud is faster and far more reliable than tape measures and a clipboard.
We slice the cloud at the right heights, trace walls, openings and features accurately, and finish the drawings to your CAD standards. Where furniture, stored equipment or ceilings blocked the scanner, we say so on the drawing.
If the project later moves into BIM, the same point cloud can be used to build a BIM model, so nothing is wasted.

Floor plans
Walls, openings, stairs and fixtures at each level.
Sections
Full-height sections at the positions you choose.
Elevations
Facades with openings, materials and key levels.
Reflected ceiling plans
Ceiling heights, bulkheads and fittings.
Measured details
Large-scale details of key features.
Spot levels
Floor and ceiling levels taken from the cloud.
Obstruction notes
Hidden or unclear areas clearly marked.

Drawing detail by scale
What we draw at each scale, so the level of detail matches how the drawings will be used.
| Scale | What is drawn | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| 1:200 | Walls, openings, stairs | Space planning and area plans |
| 1:100 | Adds doors, fixtures and key levels | Feasibility and planning |
| 1:50 | Adds reveals, steps, services visible | Design and refurbishment |
| 1:20 | Detailed features and junctions | Detail design and heritage |
| Sections | True floor and ceiling levels | Height studies and services |

Measured drawings you can trust
Every line comes from the point cloud and is checked back against it, so dimensions are measured, never estimated. Every project starts with a written quotation, a named point of contact and a firm delivery date, and you can begin with a small trial task.

Scan to CAD drawings questions
Quick answers about inputs, scales, accuracy and turnaround for Scan to CAD drawings.
Choose CAD when you only need measured 2D drawings. Choose BIM when the design team will work in a model or needs 3D coordination.
Floor plans, sections, elevations, reflected ceiling plans, roof plans and large-scale details.
They’re traced from the point cloud, so accuracy follows the scan. We agree a tolerance and mark any obstructed areas.
Whatever you need, typically 1:50 or 1:100 for plans and 1:20 for details.
Yes: your layers, text styles, hatches and title blocks.
Yes, though accuracy is lower than a laser scan. We’ll explain the limits before we start.
A typical floor is usually drawn within two to three working days.
Files are shared only with the people working on your project, through secure transfer or your own platform. We sign NDAs on request and never reuse your drawings, models or data on other work.
Use whatever suits you: email, a file-sharing link or your own common data environment. Within a working day of receiving the package, we send a short list of questions so nothing is left to guesswork.
