2D Planning / Scan to CAD

What is 2D Planning / Scan to CAD?
2D Planning / Scan to CAD is an essential service that transforms precise 3D laser scan data into detailed, accurate 2D AutoCAD drawings. By using advanced 3D laser scanning technology, we capture every architectural and structural feature of a building or site, which is then imported into AutoCAD software to create exact 2D plans. These plans include floor layouts, elevations, cross-sections, and site plans, making them indispensable for design, planning, and construction projects.

At JS Surveys, we leverage the power of cutting-edge scanning technology to gather data with high precision, which is then meticulously converted into 2D CAD drawings by our expert team. Whether you are planning a building extension, refurbishment, or development, our Scan to CAD service delivers the essential drawings you need to support every stage of your project.

Deliverables
Our 2D Planning / Scan to CAD service includes:

• Floor Plans: Comprehensive top-down views of your building layout, produced in various scales and detailing key elements with different line types, colors, and weights.

• External Elevations: Precise 2D drawings of the building’s exterior, showcasing all architectural features.

• Cross Sections: Vertical cuts through the building to represent internal spaces in detailed 2D scaled drawings.

• Site Plans: Representations of the site’s boundaries, positioning, and other critical site features for planning and development purposes.

Why is Scan to CAD beneficial?

• Complete Accuracy: With our advanced 3D laser scanning technology, we capture every detail of the building or site, ensuring the resulting 2D drawings are accurate and reliable.

• Minimal Risk: Our digital scanning method eliminates the chances of error that are common with traditional measurement techniques.

• Affordable & Competitive Prices: We offer high-quality services at industry-leading rates, providing exceptional value without compromising on quality or precision.

• Level of Detail: We tailor the level of detail in our drawings to meet your project’s needs, ensuring the drawings are as comprehensive or focused as required.

Our Scan to CAD Process
Our process for Scan to CAD is structured to ensure efficiency and accuracy:

1. Site Survey & Laser Scanning: Our team uses state-of-the-art 3D laser scanners to gather comprehensive data from the site or building.

2. Point Cloud Processing: The scan data is imported into AutoCAD software, where we begin creating the 2D CAD drawings.

3. Drawing Creation: Using AutoCAD tools, we apply planes to the data and develop the required 2D drawings, ensuring they meet the project’s specifications.

4. Quality Control: Every drawing undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure the highest level of accuracy before delivery.
