Survey CAD Drawings and Base Maps

A survey CAD drawing turns field measurements, laser scans and drone data into the linework that designers build on: property lines, buildings, pavement, utilities, contours and annotation. A clean CAD drawing saves every later step of a project from redrawing the site.

Darling Geomatics drafts CAD drawings to your layer standard and coordinate system, from conventional survey, point clouds and orthomosaics, and checks them against the field data before delivery.

• Existing conditions and as-built drawings
• Floor plans, elevations and sections from laser scans
• Utility and easement drawings
• ALTA/NSPS survey drawings

Formats

• AutoCAD DWG and DXF
• Civil 3D drawings with surfaces
• PDF sets for review
• The point cloud the drawing came from, on request

From field data to clean linework

Our CAD drawings start from measured data: conventional survey shots, laser scan point clouds and drone orthomosaics. Drafters trace features from the data rather than from old plans, so the drawing shows what is on the ground today. Every drawing is checked against the field data and the survey control before it goes out.

Drawings are organized on layers to your standard, with text styles, blocks and line types your team already uses, and set up in your coordinate system so they overlay design files without moving. Where a project needs more than 2D, the same survey can provide surfaces, point clouds and BIM models that match the CAD drawing exactly.

Typical CAD drawing sets include a title block and notes to your format, a basis of bearings and benchmark statement, and a legend of the symbols used. Revisions after review are tracked so everyone works from the latest drawing, and the native DWG is always delivered alongside the PDF.
