For San Diego architects, designers, remodel and ADU contractors and drafters: what you receive, in which file formats, and how to send a project.
How the building is measured
- On site
- One visit with a handheld laser scanner. Most homes take 10 to 20 minutes on site; the measurements are taken on the spot, not estimated from photos or a phone app.
- Field check
- Key distances are checked on site with a laser level, tape measure and spirit level.
- Stated accuracy
- To the centimeter on measured distances (the owner’s statement, also in the FAQ). Every drawn element is marked measured or assumed, and the files say “Verify in field. Not for construction.”
- Assumptions
- Wall thicknesses come from exterior-versus-interior dimensions; opening positions are scaled from the report’s plan; door leaf thickness and glazing are drawn, not measured. The sheets and the model say so.
What you receive
- Scan report
- Room-by-room PDF: interior dimensions, ceiling heights, areas, perimeters, openings and fixtures. The numbers the drawings are made from.
- Drawing sheets
- ARCH C (24 × 18 in) at 1/2" = 1'-0": A-101 floor plan and A-601 room, door, window and fixture schedules. Tagged PDFs that pass PDF/UA-1.
- CAD (add-on)
- DWG in AutoCAD 2000 format and the same plan as R12 DXF, in inches. Layers named to the US National CAD Standard: A-WALL, A-DOOR, A-GLAZ, A-FLOR-FIXT, A-AREA-IDEN, A-ANNO-DIMS, A-ANNO-NOTE.
- Revit (add-on)
- An IFC4 model in millimetres: walls, openings, doors, windows, slab, rooms with quantities and fixtures. Opens in Revit 2024 and later, links in 2023. A property set on every element (TSNP_ExistingConditions) states what was measured and what was assumed. Ask if your workflow needs a native RVT.
- Raw scan
- On request, sent to you or to an engineer you name. Format confirmed per project.
- 3D walkthrough (add-on)
- A virtual tour of the space your client can open in a browser.
