CAD services

Drawings you can rely on, across the whole portfolio

Information is critical, and a plan two moves out of date is worse than no plan at all, because someone will trust it. We keep the record of your real estate accurate.

How it works

On demand or on contract

A single floor when you need it, or an annual arrangement that keeps an entire estate current without anybody having to chase it.

UK based, working globally

Drawings arrive by email and go back the same way. Nobody needs to be in the building, and time zones have never been the problem.

One standard everywhere

The same conventions applied across every building you hold, so two plans from two countries can be read side by side.

Extra hands at the pinch points

We work alongside in-house CAD teams through peaks rather than replacing them: the busy month, the acquisition, the fit-out.

Standards

We believe all work should meet the highest standards, so we are particular about the strategies and templates that keep things consistent across the board.

  • General drawing standards
  • Layer standards
  • Block standards
  • Plot standards
  • Title blocks

If you already have standards, we work to yours. If you do not, we will set them up and hand them over.

What we draw

Maintain plans

Churn kept up to date so the drawing matches the floor, month after month.

General arrangement plans

The base drawing everything else is built on, to a consistent standard.

Block and density plans

Department blocks, densities and adjacencies for planning conversations.

Way-finder plans

Signage and orientation drawings people can actually follow.

Move co-ordination plans

From-and-to drawings, labels and sequencing for a move weekend.

Polylining for CAFM

Areas polylined and coded so a CAFM or space system can read them.

Measured surveys

Where no reliable drawing exists, we go and measure it.

LiDAR scan to floor plans

The building scanned and the point cloud turned into CAD you can work from.

What a drawing from us looks like

Walls, doors, cores and furniture, drawn to one standard and polylined so a space system can read the areas straight off it. This is the part nobody sees until a plan has to be trusted.

Practical questions

What do you need from us to start?

Whatever you have. DWG is ideal, a PDF is fine, and a photograph of a printed plan on a wall has been the starting point more than once.

Which formats do we get back?

DWG and PDF as standard, plus whatever your CAFM or space system needs: polylined, coded and ready to import.

Can you work to our standards?

Yes. Send us the standard and we will work inside it. Where there isn't one, ours is well proven and yours to keep.

How quickly can you turn work around?

It depends on the state of the drawings and the size of the estate. Tell us the deadline when you ask and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable.

Send us a plan and a problem

Tell us what state the drawings are in and what you need them to do. We will tell you what it takes to get there.
