As-Built & Measured Drawings for Remodels in Utah
Field-measured floor plans, elevations and sections of your existing home or building, drafted in CAD and ready for your remodel, addition or permit.
Short answer:
as-built drawings show your building exactly as it stands today. We
measure it on site and draft floor plans, exterior elevations and, if
needed, sections and a roof plan, so your remodel is designed from real
dimensions. Typical cost: $800–$3,000.

As-Built Drawings vs. an As-Built Survey
These two get mixed up often. As-built drawings document the building itself: room sizes, walls, doors, windows, ceiling heights and exterior faces, drawn so a designer can plan a remodel. An as-built survey is a land survey that locates the building, utilities and grades on the property for a city, lender or title company. This page covers the drawings. If you need the site version, see our as-built survey guide.
01 · The drawing set
What’s Included in As-Built Drawings
We scope the set to your project. A basement finish may need only one floor plan; an addition usually needs plans, elevations and a section.
Exterior Elevations
Each side of the building with window and door locations, heights and roof lines.
House Plan Drafting →Building Sections
Cut-through views showing floor-to-ceiling heights and floor levels.
House Plan Drafting →Roof Plan
Ridges, valleys, slopes and penetrations for additions and re-roofs.
House Plan Drafting →Site Placement
Optional: the building located on the lot from a survey, for additions near setbacks.
As-Built Surveys →Visible Structure Notes
Bearing walls, beams and framing we can observe, noted for your engineer.

Design from real dimensions
Old Plans Rarely Match the House.
Original blueprints get lost, and homes change: walls move, basements get finished, windows get swapped. Measured drawings show what’s actually there, so the new design fits the first time.
03 · When you need them
Common Reasons to Order As-Built Drawings

How We Measure Your Building.
Accuracy comes from careful field work. Most homes are measured in a single visit.
Laser measurement: room dimensions and wall lengths.
Openings: door and window sizes and locations.
Heights: ceiling heights and floor level changes.
Exterior: overall dimensions and roof lines checked against interior.
Photos: a photo record of each room and elevation.
Closure check: interior and exterior dimensions reconciled before drafting.

As-Built Drawings FAQ
Common questions before a remodel.
What are as-built drawings?
As-built drawings, also called measured or existing-conditions drawings, are CAD drawings of a building as it stands today: floor plans, exterior elevations and, when needed, sections and a roof plan. They’re the starting point for designing a remodel, addition or basement finish.
How are as-built drawings different from an as-built survey?
As-built drawings document the building itself, measured room by room. An as-built survey is a land survey that locates buildings, utilities and grades on the property for a city, lender or title company. If you need the site version, see our as-built survey page.
How much do as-built drawings cost in Utah?
As-built drawings typically run $800–$3,000 depending on square footage, number of levels and whether elevations and sections are needed. If we also draft your remodel or addition, the combined set typically runs $1,500–$4,500. Every quote is a fixed fee.
Do I need as-built drawings for a remodel permit?
Often, yes. Many building departments want existing and proposed floor plans side by side for an addition, basement finish or major remodel. Measured drawings give your designer an accurate existing plan to start from.
How long does it take?
Most homes are measured in one site visit. Drafting usually takes one to two weeks after the visit, depending on size and the number of drawings.
What file formats do I get?
PDF sheets for review and printing, plus CAD files (DWG) your architect, designer or contractor can build on.
Do you measure commercial buildings?
Yes. We prepare measured floor plans for offices, retail spaces and small commercial buildings for tenant improvements, leasing and renovation planning.
Can you also design the remodel?
Yes. Our drafting team can take the as-built drawings straight into new construction drawings for the addition, remodel or basement finish, with engineering if the permit requires it.
