The production of a 
Floorplan is of course not complete yet. The final product is a result
of loading the LTS data into a computer CAD system, running the latest
AutoCAD™ software. Our CAD
operators are highly skilled, trained on the same
methodologies as our field people.
The LTS sytsem of course allows a proficient
field operator to generate 50-75% of the
required final CAD drawing. Most linework
and symbols should be already adjusted and
layered according to the client requirements.
Our CAD operators will ensure the entire
building "fits together" properly,
ensure layering standards are reviewed and
enforced, add text and dimensioning as required,
and of course do final sheet layouts, including
title blocks. Any client or project-specific
CAD requirements beyond the scope of field
work are implemented at this stage.
Once the As-Built Floorplan has been completed, the next step
is the most important to some of our clients - the calculation of
rentable areas, upon which leases are based. Using a combination
of AutoCAD "p-lines" and DDE-linked Excel spreadsheets,
an ANSI/BOMA lease-area analysis is performed on the building.
Final deliverables typically will include
electronic files, both CAD format and
graphic format. These are all produced
by our CAD center and included in our flagship
'Building Report'
