Floor plans are technical drawings illustrating the interior and exterior details of a site, providing critical dimensions of building elements such as rooms, walls, doors, windows, architectural, structural, and MEP features, roof, façade, utility locations, concrete markings, and more. They can include additional annotations to convey information, such as material specifications, labels, leaders, and notes. Floor plans deliver valuable site information to architects, engineers, and contractors to expedite planning, design, calculations, and ultimately decisions, making them an integral part of any project.
Floor plans can be created of any building, space, structure, or object and are categorized into two types, 2D floor plan and 3D floor plan. A 2D plan is a plan view drawing featuring two dimensions without depth. A 3D plan depicts the layout adding depth from varied angles and can include colors, textures, prints, and other surface properties to give a realistic idea of spaces. It adds a 3D perspective to any property for enhanced visualization. Once your building is in CAD format, tenant areas can easily be adjusted and recalculated.
Floor plans deliver precise spatial and subsurface data, delivering valuable as-builts for architecture, real estate, interior design planning, emergency planning, property appraisals, and lease analysis.

///FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONs
How do I tailor my floor plan to the specific needs of the building type?
Each business and industry sector has unique functional demands: retail focuses on customer flow and product visibility, offices prioritize collaboration and privacy, healthcare requires strict zoning for hygiene and safety, and education spaces must support learning and accessibility. GPRS can create 2D Floor Plans or WalkThru 3D virtual tours tailored to your needs, regardless of building type or industry needs.
What tools and technology ensure precise floor plans?
There are many varieties of software that can help create floor plans. AutoCAD and Revit are popular for detailed architectural plans, while other commercially available tools offer some D-I-Y alternatives. GPRS creates our custom Floor Plans in a specialized software that can translate 3D photogrammetry or laser scans into 2D CAD floor plans, regardless of building type or usage.
How can I ensure compliance with building codes and accessibility standards?
Every municipality and state has their own ordinances and codes. Plus, the federal government has strict requirements for accessibility, use, and safety like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Fire safety regulations and local zoning laws must also be considered. It’s a top concern, especially in healthcare and education, where regulations are stringent and noncompliance can be costly. The quickest way to be sure your floor plans are “up to code” is to work with a professional reality capture company like GPRS, who work with the necessary specifications throughout the U.S. every day.
What are BOMA measurements and why do I need them?
BOMA measurements are standardized processes developed by the Building Owners and Managers Association to calculate floor area in commercial properties. Also knowns as “BOMA Calcs,” they define usable, rentable, and gross areas, to ensure consistency and transparency across leases and property valuations. They help stakeholders, leasing agents, and tenants avoid disputes over square footage and ensure fair rental rates. Accurate BOMA measurements also support better space planning, compliance, and investment decisions. GPRS offers BOMA measurements nationwide thanks to our acquisition of 2D As-Built Floor Plans.

How do accurate floor plans help facilities managers with risk mitigation and insurance?
Accurate floor plans help facilities managers identify potential hazards, plan emergency exits, and streamline evacuation routes, which enhance safety and reduce liability. They also support compliance with fire codes and accessibility standards. For insurance, detailed layouts provide clear documentation of building features and square footage, expediting claims and ensuring proper coverage. In short, they’re essential tools for proactive risk management and faster recovery when incidents occur.
