Need Building Plans?
Concept Architectural Designs experts in measured drawings. The drafting and technical architectural documentation of existing buildings. Creating measured drawings, record drawings and as-builts that are accurate and up to date.
No Plans? We Draw Them.
Obtaining as-built drawings is key when planning a construction project. Measured drawings are the necessary first step to complete a project. When plans are are missing or outdated we measure and redraw buildings.
Showing the as-is conditions of a building as current is the goal. The drawings can then be used for renovations, upgrades or additions for any project at a flexible price.
Client satisfaction is our top priority. Creating a great business relationship is the commitment. We do this by building trust and treating each job as a unique set of existing conditions.
The tools and software used is required to provide clients with the highest quality of work, which is key. Delivering affordable and precise documentation is what we do. Want to know more technical terms check here.

A How to Guide and process for measuring existing buildings and structures.
WE MEASURE WE DRAW WE DELIVER
Q1: Why were my wall dimensions off by 6 inches?
A: Buildings shift and settle over decades, making original plans unreliable for renovation work. We use precise verification, laser scan, manual tape, and 200+ site photos, with a final Revit point cloud cross check before delivery.
Q2: Why was my cantilever missing from the drawings by 10 inches?
A: Laser scanners alone can miss subtle overhangs, especially on older structures with undocumented modifications. Our team adds manual tape, string line, and physical foundation probing to every survey, with photo documentation of all exposures to ensure nothing is left off the drawings.
Q3: Why were the HVAC returns not shown on my as-built drawings?
A: Returns hidden behind walls or ceilings require more than a visual walkthrough to locate. We use pipe detectors and thermal imaging cameras to find every return before CAD work begins, delivering complete MEP documentation for your project.
Q5: Why was the plumbing rough-in documented incorrectly?
A: Field modifications and unrecorded repairs frequently cause as-built plumbing to differ from original plans. We trace every fixture from its clean-out using pipe cameras and plot center-lines in AutoCAD, so your renovation drawings reflect true field conditions.
Q10: Why are there MEP conflicts showing on the drawings?
A: Two-dimensional documentation cannot always reveal where duct runs, pipes, and conduit overlap in tight cavities. We run full Revit 3D clash detection on all systems before delivery and include a clash report with resolutions, ready for your engineer's review.
Q26: How do you capture field changes that differ from the original plans?
A: We use a three-step process: a site walk comparing actual conditions to original plans, a written deviation log with photos and measurements of all modified areas. The updated cad dwg reflects current field conditions, not design intent.
Q46: How do you make sure drawings pass Atlanta and Georgia plan review?
A: Atlanta reviewers enforce IBC 2021 plus Georgia specific amendments that differ from base code. We apply all current GA amendments before drafting and include fire separation schedules, travel distances, and opening protection designations on every applicable sheet.
Q61: How do you document non-standard framing in older residential additions?
A: 1970s structures often used balloon framing with fire blocking and joist configurations unlike anything in modern construction. We document all of it layout, fire blocking, non-standard members in photographs, plan callouts, and building sections for your contractor and structural engineer.
Q76: What is your standard timeline from site visit to drawing delivery?
A: Our standard schedule is 14 business days: Day 1 field survey, Day 5 initial CAD draft, Day 10 revised set, Day 14 final PDF delivery. Progress PDF milestones are shared at each stage, and rush delivery in 7 days is available.
Q79: What are your three pricing tiers and what does each include?
A: Basic ($2.50/sf) covers surveyed floor plans and site plans. Standard ($4.25/sf) adds elevations, sections, MEP traces, and a photo log. Premium ($6.75/sf) delivers a BIM model with clash detection and code notes. All tiers include the site visit and one revision.
