Ground floor - Survey of current condition

Why Choose Our Architectural Plan Services?

Our Swiss company, which specialises in the development of architectural plans 2D and 3D, is distinguished by its use of 3D laser scanning. We are commissioned by architects wishing to obtain the existing state of a building or by customers needing plans for the renovation of their house or for the study of the building. CECB Plus. Unlike some architects' offices, we don't take care of putting projects out to tender, supervising building work or carrying out feasibility studies.

Our cutting-edge scanning and 3D modelling techniques

Laser scanning and photogrammetry: the basis of our architectural plans

We use cutting-edge technologies such as laser scanning and photogrammetry to accurately capture the details of your building. This advanced scanning allows us to create 2D and 3D plans that serve as the basis for all construction or renovation projects.

Advantages of our Architectural Plans

Our plans are also aimed at engineers, property managers, developers and public institutions. Thanks to precision of our laser readingsWe can document every level, every façade and every technical detail. This not only improves planning, but also facilitates communication between all those involved in the project. For complex renovationsWe identify inconsistencies or structural deformations that are invisible to the naked eye. Our plans thus become a genuine diagnostic and projection tool. They ensure smooth coordination between the various trades and better anticipation of technical or regulatory constraints.

Our lasergrammetry surveys offer a decisive advantage in the renovation and conversion of buildings. By capturing the existing situation with millimetre precision, we enable architects and project owners to anticipate technical constraints and avoid unpleasant surprises during construction. The plans produced serve as a reliable basis for incorporating current standards, planning work and coordinating the various trades efficiently. This data reliability considerably reduces the costs associated with late adjustments and ensures that the project runs more smoothly, from initial design to final completion.

Precision and detail

Our 3D laser scanner surveys guarantee millimetre accuracy. Every detail of the structure is captured, enabling extremely detailed plans to be produced. This precision is crucial to avoid costly mistakes during the construction or renovation phases.

Time saving

Scanning technology considerably reduces the time needed to carry out surveys compared with traditional methods. This speeds up not only the production of plans, but also the launch of your project.

Flexibility and customisation

Whether you need plans for a detached house, a flat or any other type of building, our services include 3D architecture are tailored to meet your specific needs. We can also customise plans to suit your requirements, including particular elements or specific configurations.

Our surveys are not limited to architectural aspects: they can also be used to generate precise plans for use by property managers, engineers and design offices. Thanks to complete point cloudWe identify every detail of the building, from facades to technical elements. We also produce schematic floor plans for area calculations and regulatory documentation. This versatility makes our plans indispensable for both private renovations and large-scale institutional or commercial projects. They provide a reliable, usable and sustainable basis for all those involved in the project.

Using Architect's Plans

For Architects

We work closely with architects to provide plans of the existing condition of buildings. These plans are essential for understanding the current structure before starting any renovation or conversion project.

For Homeowners and Businesses

For homeowners and businesses, our architectural plans are essential when renovating a house or commercial building. They provide a solid basis for planning and carrying out the work, ensuring that all modifications comply with standards and expectations.

Different types of architectural plans

In this section, we present the types of architectural plans that our company produces. Each type of plan plays a crucial role in the design and construction process, providing specific information needed at different stages of a project.

Floor Plan

A floor plan is a horizontal sectional view of the interior of a building, generally at a height of around 1.20 metres from the ground. This type of plan shows the layout of rooms, walls, doors, windows and fixed elements such as staircases and chimneys. It is essential for understanding the circulation inside the building and planning the interior layout.

Section plan

The section plan, also known as a cross-section, provides a vertical sectional view through the building. It shows the inside of walls, storeys, ceiling heights and structural elements such as foundations and roofs. This type of plan is crucial for visualising the internal structure and the vertical relationships between the different levels of the building.

Facade plan

Facade plans represent the external appearance of each side of the building. They show architectural details, cladding materials, openings such as doors and windows, and decorative elements. Facade plans are essential for assessing the aesthetics of the building and its integration into the existing environment.

Location map

A site plan places the building in its geographical context, showing its position in relation to property boundaries, neighbouring streets and neighbouring buildings. This type of plan is crucial for administrative procedures, applications for planning permission, and for understanding how the building fits into its environment.

Plan de Masse

The site plan provides an overall view of the site, including the layout of the main building and ancillary structures such as garages, outbuildings, gardens and parking areas. It also shows the topography of the site, access routes and distribution networks (water, electricity, etc.). This type of plan is essential for complex site development projects and for environmental impact studies.

Georeferenced maps

Georeferenced plans incorporate precise geographical coordinates, enabling the building to be located on a map with rigorous accuracy. They are particularly useful for projects requiring coordination with Geographic Information Management (GIS) systems and for precise field surveys. These plans are essential for infrastructure projects, site surveys and regulatory compliance.

We also offer 3D models and BIM (Building Information Modeling) models for advanced visualisation and management of your project.
