Introducing
Existing Drawing!

Existing Drawing is a Brisbane-based consultancy serving the construction industry by providing precise existing drawing services to architects, contractors, and developers. Our brand was established in response to industry feedback regarding anomalies and lack of detail in existing measured drawings. These issues often lead to significant financial costs and delays due to unclear existing conditions in adaptive reuse projects. 

As a subsidiary of Brisbane Design Exchange, Existing Drawing was created to meet the high demand for accurate documentation within the industry. By delivering reliable BIM models and precise existing drawings, we help clients save money, prevent project delays for architects, and ensure accurate fee estimates and tenders for contractors. 

In a competitive landscape, the accuracy of the information we provide is crucial to avoid negative project outcomes. Existing Drawing plays a vital role in reducing risks from concept to completion, ensuring successful project execution.

Use of Technology

At Existing Drawing, we leverage the latest advancements in 3D scanning, LiDAR technology, drone technology, and artificial intelligence to deliver unparalleled accuracy and efficiency in site analysis and pre-design works. By integrating these technologies, project details are captured accurately, providing a robust foundation for successful design and construction.

3D Scanning and LiDAR Technology

Our 3D laser scanning and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology enable us to capture high-resolution spatial data with exceptional precision. LiDAR sensors emit laser pulses to measure distances accurately, creating detailed 3D models of the environment. This technology is invaluable for capturing complex geometries and fine details, which are crucial for adaptive reuse, heritage registration, site analysis, and more.

Drone Technology

Existing Drawing use drones equipped with LiDAR sensors and high-resolution cameras allow us to survey large areas quickly and efficiently. Drones can access hard-to-reach internal and external areas and gather data from multiple angles, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the site. Drone technology significantly reduces the time and cost associated with traditional surveying methods, while enhancing the accuracy and completeness of the data collected.

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence plays a pivotal role in processing and analyzing the vast amounts of data captured by Existing Drawing’s 3D scanners, LiDAR sensors, and drones. AI algorithms help us to generate precise BIM models, identify patterns, and detect anomalies. This intelligent data processing enables us to provide detailed insights and actionable information, enhancing decision-making and project outcomes.

The Power of Integration

By combining 3D scanning, LiDAR, drone technology, and AI, Existing Drawing offers a holistic and innovative approach to site analysis and pre-design works. When this technology is paired with traditional architecture and design experience, this approach ensures that all site opportunities and risks are identified early, allowing for informed decisions and successful project execution. Our technology solutions provide accuracy, efficiency, and detail, making us a trusted partner for architects, developers, property owners, councils, and governing bodies.
