Rate sheet

Four tiers, one published rate sheet

Pick the highest tier you need and everything below it comes along. Scanning is priced per square foot, modeling as a per-square-foot add-on, and drawings as a fixed fee.

  1. Tier 1: Existing-Condition Scan

    Accessible agreed areas; processed point cloud, basic cleanup, alignment, quality checks, and coverage limitations.

    $0.12 – $0.35 / sq. ft.

    $2,500 project minimum

  2. Tier 2: Building Model

    Tier 1 plus visible floors, walls, ceilings, roof geometry, stairs, doors, and building-access ladders.

    Tier 1 + $0.30 – $0.60 / sq. ft.

    $3,000 minimum modeling add-on

  3. Tier 3: Building & Process Model

    Tier 2 plus equipment, associated piping, mezzanines, access ladders, and guardrails within the agreed scope.

    Tier 2 + $0.60 – $1.50 / sq. ft.

    $5,000 minimum process-modeling add-on; high congestion quoted separately

  4. Tier 4: Existing-Condition CAD Drawing Package

    Tier 3 plus agreed plans, equipment layouts, mezzanine plans, elevations, sections, tags, and layout dimensions.

    Tier 3 + fixed drawing fee

    Starting at $3,500; based on the agreed sheet list and detail required

What the rates cover

Billable area, modeling scope and exclusions are set out once, in the scope rules on the services page.

Fabrication-critical tie-ins, flange locations, anchor bolts, and tight-clearance dimensions need separate verification before fabrication or installation, quoted separately. Verification rule

Budgetary starting rates; a written proposal establishes final scope and price.

Worked example

10,000 sq. ft. of dense process area, all four tiers

The same math the estimator runs, computed from the published rates.

Totals add each line’s low figures and each line’s high figures, giving a range. The Tier 4 drawing fee is a starting figure, so a total that includes drawings shows only the low sum, as “From.”

Final drawing fee depends on the agreed sheet list, number of views, and level of detail. Includes one consolidated customer review round; additional views, scope changes, and subsequent revisions are quoted separately.
