Why do I need floor plans/as-built drawings to begin my renovation or home building journey?

In order to get from Location A to Location B you need directions, right? Quite the same can be said for residential construction projects. In order to know what the final product will be and what is possible you need to know what you are starting with.

These existing floor plans or as-built drawings require laser measurements of the entire home and need to be very accurate/detailed (a 1/16th of an inch) in order to be used for designing permit drawings. Getting accurate floor plans of your existing home is the first real step in getting your renovation journey started!

BVM Contracting can help you complete the as-built drawings for your home to get the renovation process started, and also get you matched with the right B.C.I.N. designer or architect to complete the design work.

For Real Estate Agents and Brokerages: How can BVM Contracting help me bring value to my customers by creating floor plans?

Another scenario that creating floor plans adds value is for the residential real estate market. Many times when prospective buyers are looking through a real estate listing they wonder about the dimensions and lengths of certain areas of the home. They also wonder how the entire home flows between each room, and could be the difference between getting an extra 5-10% conversion of buyers to visit the property.


What is the cost of the floor plan design and as-built drawing services?

1) For Home Owners: $700-$900 per 1000 square feet

The size and complexity of the existing home dictates the cost of the as-built drawings. To inquire further please contact us here and we can evaluate how much the as-built drawings for your home will cost. Remember, unless you already have as-built drawings, you are going to have to spend the money to complete this if you are planning on submitting a renovation or home build project for permit.
