Step 4 - Rough Drafting

Post-fieldwork, OrderPlans.com transforms the LiDAR scan into a BIM model or CAD file. For standard properties under 4,000 sq feet, the drafting is completed within 7-10 business days. Luxury and historical properties, with their intricate details, may require an extended timeline due to their complexity.
