CAD Drafting & Master Plan Maintenance


in4mation can provide competitive and economical services to help organizations collect, validate, draft, and maintain accurate architectural plans for existing building environments.

Blueprints to CAD drawings
CAD drafting services are available to translate paper blueprints to scaled AutoCAD drawings. Information captured in AutoCAD can include architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and other building component detail. Drawings are produced with custom or AIA layering standards to meet the client requirements. Additional services can be provided to field verify floor configurations and validate floor plan accuracy using handheld laser measurement tools.

Maintenance of Architectural Master Drawings
The changing business needs of an organization can have a significant impact on the footprint of the real estate portfolio. Over time, the portfolio can change as buildings are purchased, constructed, reconfigured, or sold. Since each structure can be designed, constructed, and reconfigured over time by dozens of independent architectural and engineering firms, often an organization is left with a confusing collection of outdated facility floor plans without common quality standards.

in4mation can clear the confusion by maintaining a set of master facility floor plans in AutoCAD (with web access for people to view and reference the drawing details). Serving as the clearinghouse in4mation can coordinate all completed project documentation through a central point to ensure project detail is incorporated into the master drawings, and common standards are enforced. As a result, accurate drawings can help facility managers more effectively maintain and troubleshoot facilities, estimate future projects, distribute space information for use in planning efforts, and manage CAFM systems.
