A screened surveyor will visit your property on the agreed date, in order to collect the data needed to produce the drawings.<\/div><\/div>

What are as-builts?<\/h3>
A complete, Caldas Works Inc as-built package consists of CAD drawings, PDFs drawings (floor, ceiling, roof and elevations) and technical photography (Still, 3DVR, Drone). The cost can range between $0.50 to $2.00\/square foot, depending on the drawings requested.<\/div><\/div>

When do you schedule an as-built plan?<\/h3>
To set a date for the survey all we need is a deposit, time and day.<\/div><\/div>

Where do as-built plans happen?<\/h3>
The survey takes place inside and outside of the property (accessing all areas) and requires 4 to 8 hours. Since we use laser precision equipment, no children or pets should be present during the laser scanning.<\/div><\/div>

Why you should get as-built plans?<\/h3>
Having accurate, existing condition drawings allows the designers and engineers to work with reality. No changes are done onsite, or on the fly, which can be costly and time consuming.<\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
