As-Built Documentation Cost Estimator

Connecting your building to a drawing-set price range

Pick building type, size, deliverable set, and accuracy tier to see a typical price range for field-verified drawings.

Plans Only or the Full Set

Spanning a plans-only scope to the full set

A plans-only scope costs less. Adding RCPs, elevations, and sections raises price but saves a second site visit later.

What a set should include

Accuracy Tier Affects Price

Where tolerance meets drafting time

LOA 20 through LOA 40. Tighter tolerance means denser scanning and more drafting time.

LOA explained

Size the Rework You Would Avoid

Linking documentation cost to rework avoided

The ROI calculator turns your construction budget into a rework exposure figure and compares it to documentation cost.

Ballpark pricing for field-verified 2D as-built drawings in Pittsburgh & Western PA

What Drives Your As-Built Documentation CostThe four inputs the estimator asks for
  1. Building / space typeOffice, residential, industrial or warehouse, retail, or historic and ornate — complexity per square foot varies widely between them.
  2. Approximate sizeSquare footage sets the base of the estimate. Pricing scales per square foot, so size is the single largest lever.
  3. Deliverable setPlans only is the lightest scope. Adding elevations, then sections and reflected ceiling plans, increases drafting time on the same scan data.
  4. Accuracy target (USIBD LOA)LOA 20 for general use, LOA 30 for design and MEP, LOA 40 for fabrication — tighter tolerances need denser scanning and more QA.

What Sets Your PriceThe variables behind an as-built estimate
  • 5 typesSpace types priced differently, from warehouse to historic
  • 3 setsDeliverable scopes: plans, plans plus elevations, or the full set
  • LOA 20–40Accuracy tiers, from general use to fabrication tolerance
  • 1–3 weeksTypical delivery after one to two days of on-site scanning
Estimate only — not a quote. Site access, occupancy, clutter and control requirements all affect the final price and are only assessed on a real plan or walk-through.

Plans Only vs. Full SetWhat the deliverable scope changes
Plans only — lighter scope
  • Dimensioned 2D floor plans
  • Enough for space planning and leasing
  • LOA 20 typically sufficient
  • Least drafting time on the same scan
  • Fastest route to a usable drawing
Full set — complete scope
  • Plans, elevations, sections and RCPs
  • Supports design, MEP retrofit and coordination
  • LOA 30 or 40 where tolerances are tight
  • More drafting and QA against the point cloud
  • Everything needed for a renovation package

What's IncludedWhat the estimate covers
  • On-site laser scanningSurvey-grade capture of the space, typically one to two days for a commercial project.
  • Registration & accuracy checkScans aligned into one coordinated point cloud with a documented accuracy check.
  • CAD draftingThe point cloud traced into precise 2D drawings at the deliverable scope you selected.
  • QA to your LOAEvery drawing checked against the point cloud to your required USIBD Level of Accuracy.
  • Editable filesAutoCAD DWG matched to your standards and layers, plus a PDF drawing set.

How the Estimate WorksFrom your four inputs to a fixed quote
  1. Your inputsSpace type, square footage, deliverable set and accuracy target.
  2. Base rateA per-square-foot range is selected from the space type and applied to your size.
  3. Scope & accuracyDeliverable set and LOA target adjust the range up from the baseline.
  4. Exact quoteSend a floor plan or book a site walk and the range becomes a fixed quote.
The calculator returns a range, not a quote. Occupancy and site conditions are assessed on a real plan or walk-through.
