About The Project
The medical center (confidential) project in Florida involved producing detailed 2D CAD architectural and structural drawings for a 22K square foot (2K square meter) facility. This project was commissioned by a U.S.-based property management company as part of the due diligence process preceding the potential purchase of the building. Our client required accurate floor plans, elevation drawings, and area calculations to verify the building's actual square footage and ensure they were not overpaying during the acquisition. This critical step allowed the client to confirm that the property's dimensions aligned with the seller’s claims, safeguarding the financial integrity of the transaction.
In addition to validating square footage, the client anticipated future renovations if the purchase proceeded. Our task was to provide comprehensive architectural and structural plans that would serve as a foundation for the renovation and redesign of the medical center. Leveraging LIDAR technology, we captured precise measurements of the existing structure and converted the point-cloud data into detailed 2D CAD drawings, enabling seamless planning and design for the upcoming project. The final deliverables included floor plans, elevation drawings, and area calculations (BOMA), equipping our client with essential resources for both the acquisition phase and subsequent renovation efforts. This ensured that from initial due diligence to construction, the client had reliable and accurate documentation to guide their decisions confidently.
Project Challenges & Deliverables
The medical project presented several challenges that required the expertise and adaptability of our engineering and CAD teams to ensure precise and timely delivery. A primary challenge was the tight turnaround time. The client needed our area calculations, CAD drawings, and elevation plans within the limited timeframe of the property acquisition process. The deal was contingent on these results, as they were critical in determining whether the purchase aligned with the client’s expectations. Our team worked efficiently to ensure that all deliverables were provided on time, supporting the client’s ability to make informed decisions.
Additionally, limited access to certain areas posed difficulties during the scanning process. As the site was an active medical center, not all sections were available for LIDAR scanning. Drawing on our extensive architectural and structural expertise, our team accurately extrapolated the missing data, completing the plans while maintaining full accuracy and detail. Through advanced modeling techniques and efficient project management, we successfully provided the client with detailed CAD drawings, area calculations (BOMA), and elevation plans within the required timeframe, enabling them to proceed confidently with their acquisition and renovation plans.
