PROJECT BRIEF

The client needed existing floor plans converted into an AutoCAD DWG file, with everything set out accurately to scale. They supplied original plan files (TIF) plus key dimensions from their client and requested a clean CAD version suitable for ongoing architectural work.

A key constraint was ensuring scale fidelity when working from existing material, where conversion quality can vary depending on the source drawing. The client also required a straightforward workflow and a prompt turnaround to keep their wider project moving, including coordination for a separate future site.

WORK COMPLETED

PlanCraftDaily reviewed the supplied drawings and dimension notes, then produced a CAD redraw aligned to the provided measurements. The team treated the drawings as existing/as-built documentation derived from the client’s information, focusing on linework clarity and consistent scaling for reliable use in AutoCAD.

Once the DWG was prepared, we issued an updated final drawing pack for the client’s review. After confirmation that everything looked correct, we completed the handover in the requested formats so the client could proceed with their next design steps and any related coordination.

OUTCOME

The client received a to-scale DWG file along with the updated final drawings, enabling immediate use within their CAD workflow. Feedback confirmed the output met expectations, supporting smooth continuation of the wider project activity and reducing friction in exchanging drawing information between stakeholders.

STEPS

01.

Brief & file intake

We confirmed the client’s requirement to convert existing floor plans into AutoCAD DWG format, fully to scale. The client supplied original plan files (TIF) and supporting dimensions. We also aligned expectations around working from existing source material and ensuring a measurement-led output.

02.

Source review & scale checks

We reviewed the supplied drawings and cross-referenced the provided dimensions to establish reliable scaling. Where source drawings can vary in quality, the focus was on using the client’s dimensional information to anchor the redraw and keep geometry consistent for CAD use.

03.

CAD redraw production

Our CAD team converted the floor plans into clean, structured linework, maintaining consistent scale and readable drafting conventions. The redraw was prepared specifically for practical AutoCAD workflows, so the client could reference, edit, and coordinate the plans as needed.

04.

Draft issue & updates

We issued the drawings for the client to check and confirm suitability. Any minor adjustments were incorporated, and an updated final drawing pack was prepared to reflect the agreed output, maintaining clarity and scale for ongoing architectural design work.
