Our Floor Plan Process

Step 1 – Measured Survey & 3D Site Scanning
We begin with a detailed measured survey and capture the full layout of the building using advanced Matterport 3D scanning technology. Every angle and dimension is recorded to ensure nothing is missed.

Step 2 – Virtual Walkthrough and CAD Conversion
The scan generates a precise virtual walkthrough, which we convert into 2D CAD drawings (DWG format) compatible with AutoCAD.

Step 3 – Verification and Detailing
CAD files are cleaned, checked and scaled against on-site reference measurements, guaranteeing accuracy for compliance and construction use.

Step 4 – Professional Drawings
Final plans are issued on drawing borders, complete with your company logo. This creates a polished, professional finish ready to present to contractors, clients, or regulatory authorities.

Accurate Floor Plans Start with a Measured Survey

The accuracy of any floor plan depends on the quality of the survey data collected. VMR Draughting provides professional measured surveys throughout London and the UK, using modern surveying equipment and 3D scanning technology to capture buildings quickly and accurately. The resulting data is used to produce reliable CAD floor plans suitable for construction, compliance and facilities management projects.

The Benefits of CAD Floor Plans

Compliance Ready

Accurate floor plans are a core requirement under current fire safety regulations, including Regulation 38 of the Building Regulations 2010 and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. Clear escape routes and layouts can be displayed on PIBs, and supplied to Fire & Rescue Services, helping building owners meet statutory duties and protect occupants.

Distribution Board Schematics

Digital 3D scanning and CAD conversion allow us to generate fully scaled plans far quicker than traditional manual surveys. For contractors and facilities managers, this means less disruption on site, faster access to compliant drawings, and fewer project delays when documentation is requested by regulatory bodies or clients.

Professional Image

Branded floor plans presented on drawing borders not only meet compliance standards but also showcase attention to detail. Supplying documentation reinforces your company’s credibility with clients, contractors, and inspectors, showing that safety, and accuracy are prioritised in projects.

Future Proof

CAD files provided in editable formats (DWG, PDF) ensure your building layouts remain adaptable. Whether for refurbishments, extensions, fire strategy updates, or compliance checks, these files can be updated quickly, giving you a lasting asset that continues to serve both operational and regulatory needs.

J.DarbyContracts Manager, Thameside Electrical Ltd

I first came across VMR Draughting in 2011 whilst working on a structured cabling contract in London. I always use VMR Draughting where I have needed high quality CAD drawings. Every time VMR proved very reliable. The service was swift without any fuss at all. The drawings they produced are really good quality showing every detail I requested making my contractors’ job of understanding of how the install should be very easy. I will definitely be using VMR in the future. A joy to work with. Highly recommended.
