PDF to CAD Conversion Requirement

The client approached eLogicTech for a high-value CAD conversion and drafting service. It was a group housing project which included eleven residential housing plans in an area of around 4.5 million square feet. The as-built drawings were in PDF forms and the client wanted us to convert those drawings into CAD form and create the site plans, floor plans, and interior/exterior elevation plans for each apartment.

Challenges Faced by eLogicTech's Engineers

While working on this CAD drafting project, eLogicTech's team of architects overcame the following challenges:

  • Understanding of the sections and details to calculate the exact wall thickness.
  • Deciding the materials to bring the required textures and develop the elevations.
  • As we had received just the drawings, our team of engineers had to search the existing conditions in Google to match the information with the received plans and elevations to give 100% quality.
