When working with residential customers, Caldas Works has a clear understanding of what needs to be done. Furthermore, every project we undertake is different. Our experience gives us a good sense of what most clients are looking for in as-built drawings.
The most commonly requested as-built surveys are:
- Floor plan
Everything starts with an accurate floor plan. It’s because every other type of plan revolves around this key part of any structure. A survey must always include: exterior and interior walls, windows and doors, and if visible, structural elements. Moreover, they must deliver accuracy and allow editing or manipulation, if necessary.
- Roof plan
Includes details such as valleys, hips, ridges, roof pitch, accessories, etc.
- Exterior elevations
Shows what the building looks like from its exterior sides. These depictions show the structure from the ground level up.
- Reflected ceiling plan drawings (RCP)
A depiction of a room or space looking down at the ceiling. These plans are made to graphically show the ceiling treatment, ceiling grid, and the placement of all light fixtures and other accessories.
- Electrical plan drawings
Show the visible electrical equipment, including: meters, panels, transformers, outlets, data jacks, light switches, etc…The safety of people, property, plant, and equipment often depends on accurate electrical documentation which is why special care must be given when producing these drawings
One more thing…
We also offer Technical Photography (still, 3DVR, drone).
Overall, the drawings and photos give you access to the three systems (MEPs): mechanical, electrical, and plumbing. Generally, they inform owners and identify systems available within the property, no matter where they are located (roofs, side yards, inside walls, etc).
As-built survey package files
As-built drawings identify the changes that were made throughout the life of your construction project. That is to say, they record existing conditions.

Why, what, when, where and who—of as-built surveys
Having accurate, existing condition plans allows designers and engineers to work with reality. In turn, no changes are done onsite or on the fly, which can be costly and time consuming.
The cost is $1 per sq ft. A full Caldas Works as-built package consists of: CAD drawings, PDFs drawings (floor, ceiling, roof and elevations) and technical photography (Still, 3DVR, Drone).
To set a date for the survey all we need is a deposit, time and day.
A screened surveyor or two will come to the property on the agreed date to collect the data needed to produce the drawings.
