As-Built Measuring Services provides real estate and AEC professionals with the data they need to successfully lease and redevelop built spaces since 2008.
Our skilled survey teams are equipped with the latest in laser scanning and measurement tools, and our dedicated drawing production team ensures deliverables are provided on time so you can confidently advance to the next phase of your project.
Over time, building assets undergo significant changes. Additions, modifications, re-purposing, sublets, lease modifications, changes in ownership or management, and other factors can blur the picture of your space accounting. Our BOMA floor area surveys will bring your space back into focus.
Landlords use floor area surveys to calculate the “Rentable Area” of their buildings and individual tenant spaces. Since space is typically leased by the square foot, accurate measurements and common area allocations are crucial. We deliver certified drawings that clearly show lease boundaries and their measurements.
BOMA stands for “Building Owners and Managers Association”. BOMA publishes a comprehensive set of measurement standards that provide the parameters for building measurement and common area allocation. These standards are widely accepted as the basis for area definitions in lease agreements.
We are highly experienced in surveying commercial properties and applying BOMA standards. Our clients turn to us for guidance, accurate interpretations of BOMA principles and surveys of their assets.
We deliver highly precise plans with verifiable dimensions and area calculations. To ensure a quick turn-around without sacrificing quality, our survey and production teams collaborate closely on all projects. Responsive service that understands our clients’ needs is our hallmark.
We survey all visible architectural and structural components, including: mullions and glazing, stairwells and elevator shafts, tenant partitions, openings, plumbing fixtures, fixed millwork, as well as use specific information depending on occupancy type.
Our standard deliverable includes a PDF plan set along with an AutoCAD file (.DWG)
Same day or next day delivery is typical for most of our projects involving vacancies for lease and marketing.
Our goal is to give you a complete picture of your project sites. We recognize that the data we collect informs your design decisions. Design and fabrication specifications will be based on our drawings, and we don’t take that lightly. We take pride in our accuracy and attention to detail.
All the site information you require for your project. Size, type, and precise locations of architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, life safety, furniture, fixtures, and equipment components, as well as any specifications we can ascertain (ie: RTU and electrical service).
Our pricing model allows us to easily customize our surveys so that you only pay for the data you need. Visit our Quote Request page.
Your file package can contain drawing sets that include floor, ceiling, and roof plans, elevations, and sections. We can also provide reports that include specs on mechanical and electrical components servicing the site, comprehensive photo sets, and more. Our intent is to provide decision makers with all the site data they require to make informed choices.
Using our lidar scanners, we can reduce field time while capturing extensive detail of project sites. Offsite, our production team transforms scanned point clouds into the construction drawings you need to move your project forward
We use Leica BLK series scanners which allow us to stay in control of scan registration and accuracy. We also have the Matterport Pro 2 & 3 cameras.
Scanning technology shines when our clients have large data/deliverables requirements and a tight timeframe. For example, in 2022 two survey teams completed 91 sites in 4 weeks, with all deliverables received by Week 6.
Scanners are limited to what they can see from their locations. That’s why we ensure our surveyors are well trained on how to use the scanners, but also understand the project scope and investigate without the scanners to ensure all necessary data is included. We also take linear laser measurements for dimensional verification.
You can take full advantage of the scan data we collect when we transform the point cloud into a 3 dimensional Revit model. Revit is the preferred parametric design application for many leading design and architectural firms.
Building Information Modelling digitally reconstructs a built space. Project design and collaboration, building maintenance, and even retail merchandising can all be improved when stakeholders have access to a building model.
Turning scan data into a meaningful deliverable will typically take from one to two weeks of processing time depending on the scope and size of the project.
In addition to the Revit file, you will receive virtual tour access online, or through free software from Leica.
Virtual tours allow you to visit your project sites without leaving your desk. Choose a 
virtual tour along with your survey request to give your design team anytime access to high definition site walks from wherever they are located.
Virtual tours are a fantastic tool for real estate marketing. They also provide project stakeholders improved eyes on their sites from wherever they are located.
Not anymore! We’re happy to have the new Matterport Pro 3 in our toolkits. It is not hampered by dim light or light saturation. Beautiful 360 HDR images are captured and stitched together, allowing for a more immersive experience indoors or out.
Matterport virtual tours can be viewed on most web browsers.
Whether you need accurate as-built plans for a single asset, or hundreds of locations across the country, we are the partner you need to move your project forward.
