In the world of architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC), success is built on a foundation of certainty. Before a single design decision is made, a wall is moved, or a lease is signed, every stakeholder needs to trust the data they're working with. This is where professional 2D measured floor plans move from being a simple document to becoming the single source of truth for a project.

At ENGINYRING, we are a dedicated, surveyor-neutral CAD and BIM production partner. We specialize in transforming the raw data captured by survey teams into precise, standards-compliant 2D floor plans you can build your reputation on. We understand that a floor plan is more than just lines on a page; it's the critical link between the as-built reality and your project's future potential. Whether you provide us with field sketches, legacy PDFs, or high-density point cloud data, our team of CAD specialists meticulously translates that information into clean, accurate, and immediately usable drawings. Our process is engineered to eliminate the inconsistencies and errors that cause delays, ensuring your final drawings slot seamlessly into any permitting, tender, or fit-out workflow.

Precision Drafting for Demanding Professionals: Solving Industry-Specific Challenges

Our services are not a one-size-fits-all solution. They are specifically engineered to address the unique pressures and requirements of professionals who design, build, and manage physical assets. We act as a specialized extension of your team, providing the foundational deliverables you need to excel.

For Architects & Interior Designers: The Foundation of Creative Vision

For creative professionals, the design process begins with a clear understanding of the existing canvas. Inaccurate or incomplete as-built plans are a direct threat to this process. We provide the certainty needed to push creative boundaries.

  • Accelerate the Design Phase: We deliver fast, reliable as-built plans from your survey data, allowing you to bypass the tedious task of verifying old drawings. You can move directly into schematic design, confident that your spatial constraints are accurately defined.
  • Streamline Permitting and Approvals: Regulatory bodies require clear, consistent, and accurate drawings. Our plans are produced to exacting standards, reducing the risk of rejection and minimizing back-and-forth with permitting authorities.
  • Enable Confident Client Communication: Presenting a design based on professionally drafted plans builds immediate trust. It demonstrates a commitment to precision from day one and ensures the vision you present is achievable.

For Survey & Scanning Teams: Your Scalable Production Partner

You are experts in acquiring high-fidelity site data. However, converting that raw data into polished, client-ready 2D deliverables can be a significant bottleneck, diverting skilled technicians from their core competency. ENGINYRING is your dedicated production engine.

  • Focus on Your Core Business: Outsource the drafting and processing to us and free up your team to do what they do best: capturing data on more sites. We become an extension of your team, transforming your point clouds and field notes into professional 2D sheets without the overhead of an in-house drafting department.
  • Scale Your Operations On-Demand: Take on larger projects without the cost of hiring and training additional CAD staff. Our scalable team absorbs spikes in your workload, ensuring you never have to turn down a project due to limited production capacity.
  • Guarantee Consistent Quality: We deliver a consistent, high-quality output that enhances your brand reputation. No matter which of your field teams captured the data, your client receives a uniform, professional product every time.

For Real Estate & Facility Managers: Data-Driven Asset Management

Effective management of a property portfolio depends on having accurate and reliable spatial data. We turn your supplied survey information into the clear documentation you need.

  • Secure Reliable Documentation: We create a definitive record of your assets from as-built data. Our plans provide the foundation for everything from BOMA calculations for leasing to strategic space planning and auditing.
  • Empower Maintenance and Operations: Provide your maintenance teams with clear plans detailing critical infrastructure and access points. This reduces time spent locating issues and improves efficiency for on-site personnel.
  • Facilitate Future-Proofing: Accurate as-built plans are essential for any renovation or retrofitting project. Our deliverables provide the baseline information needed for long-term strategic planning.

For Contractors & Fit-Out Firms: Mitigating Risk on Site

In construction, ambiguity is risk. Unclear plans and conflicting dimensions are primary drivers of RFIs and change orders. We provide absolute clarity based on the survey data you provide.

  • Reduce Ambiguity and RFIs: We produce unambiguous plans where every line has a purpose. By clearly defining partitions, openings, and structural elements, we help you anticipate conflicts before they happen on site.
  • Eliminate Costly Site Revisits: A plan you can trust is a plan you can build from. Our rigorous QA process ensures that the drawings accurately reflect the provided site data, minimizing the need for your team to verify details on site.
  • Improve Subcontractor Coordination: Provide all your subcontractors with a single, reliable set of base plans. This ensures everyone is working from the same information, reducing coordination errors and preventing costly rework.

Your Core Deliverables: The Anatomy of a Professional Floor Plan

Every project includes a baseline package meticulously designed for professional application. We don't just draw lines; we structure data in a way that enhances usability and downstream compatibility.

  • 2D Measured Floor Plans: Delivered at standard architectural scales (e.g., 1:100, 1:50) with a clean, logical layer and lineweight hierarchy for instant readability.
  • Clear Annotations: All dimensions, level markers, and room labels are placed on dedicated layers and styled for optimal clarity, even on a busy printed sheet.
  • Schedules & Legends (Optional): We can generate detailed door and window schedules, formatted to your specifications, along with a clear legend defining all symbols and line types.
  • Standard Professional Formats: You receive fully editable DWG/DXF working files and high-resolution, vector-based PDFs, correctly plotted and ready for immediate use.

We Process Data from Any Source

As a surveyor-neutral partner, we have developed robust workflows to handle a wide spectrum of input formats, ensuring we can support any project, regardless of the data capture method.

  • Sketches / Field Notes: We excel at interpreting and digitizing hand-drawn markups. Our technicians translate your notes into accurately scaled and layered CAD linework. Learn more about Sketch-to-Digital
  • Point Clouds (E57/LAZ/RCP/RCS): Precision is paramount. We slice precise, distortion-free orthographic sections from your point cloud data at key elevations to ensure we are faithfully representing the true geometry of the space. Explore our Point Cloud Processing
  • Legacy Drawings (PDF/DWG): We specialize in redrafting and standardizing old or outdated drawings. We correct geometric inaccuracies and update the files to reflect current as-built conditions based on your new information. See our 2D Drafting Services

Our Proven Workflow: A System for Predictable Excellence

Our reputation is built on a rigorous, transparent, and documented process. This 7-step workflow ensures that every project is delivered on time and to the highest possible standard.

  1. Scoping & Kick-off: We work with you to clearly define the project boundaries, required scales, formats, and coordinate systems.
  2. Data Integrity Check: Before drafting, we perform a thorough check of the input data you provide, verifying registration on point clouds and identifying unclear areas on sketches.
  3. Standardized CAD Setup: We use locked templates with pre-defined layers and styles to ensure every drawing is consistent and professional.
  4. Methodical Drafting: Our process follows a logical sequence, from the primary structural envelope to internal partitions, openings, and fixtures.
  5. Precise Annotation: We add all key dimensions, levels, room names, and area calculations with an eye for clarity and readability.
  6. Preflight & Ironclad QA: Every file undergoes a rigorous technical audit (OVERKILL, PURGE, AUDIT), a full-scale test plot, and a final sign-off against a comprehensive quality checklist.
  7. Professional Delivery: You receive a neatly organized package with your DWG/DXF and PDF files, accompanied by a detailed readme.txt file documenting all project specifics.
