CAD Floor Plans for Accurate and Efficient Space Management
At Building Spatial Intelligence, we specialise in creating intelligent CAD floor plans to help you manage your spaces effectively. Our detailed 2D floor plans provide the data needed for planning, compliance, and optimisation, ensuring you make the most of every square metre. Whether for education, healthcare, or private sector projects, Building Spatial Intelligence delivers the clarity and insight you need.
How Our 2D Floor Plan Service Works
Our expert team will visit your site in person, along with our advanced 3D geospatial scanning technology to capture the dimensions needed for your 2D floor plans. This scanning process also enables a seamless upgrade to our BIM service, should you wish to expand. As we capture all the required data during the initial site visit, there’s no need for re-scanning should you wish to upgrade your 2D floor plans to a 3D BIM spatial database.
The process is simple and efficient, with minimal disruption to your site:
Step 1: We collect the data
Using advanced 3D laser scanning technology, we capture precise measurements of your building, ensuring an accurate digital representation of all internal and external spaces with minimal on-site disruption.
Step 2: We process the data
Our production team processes the scanned data into detailed 2D CAD floor plans, carefully refining measurements and layouts to ensure accuracy. This stage transforms raw scan data into a clear, precise, and usable digital representation of your building.
Step 3: We deliver your final floor plans
Your floor plans are delivered in PDF and DWG formats, ready for use by architects, engineers, and estate managers. They’re also integrated into our Power BI dashboard for easy visualisation and data management.
School Floor Plans and Beyond
Our services are designed to bring clarity and control to not only schools but also to various sectors looking to optimise their space management. For educational facilities, our floor plans provide essential, DfE-compliant insights that aid in daily operations, long-term planning, and regulatory reporting. Schools benefit from room categorisation, easy access to data, and an accurate classroom floor plan and school layout, ensuring every space is utilised efficiently and effectively. We also provide “You Are Here” plans for easy building navigation. These customised plans can be included in your school prospectus, intranet, or student planners, offering versatile solutions across multiple platforms.
In addition to creating school floor plans for the education sector, our 2D CAD floor plans offer significant benefits for industries such as healthcare, commercial, and the public sector. These plans help optimise space utilisation, reduce operational costs, and ensure compliance with relevant industry standards and regulations. By providing accurate and detailed visual representations of building layouts, our 2D floor plans enable more effective planning, improved resource management, and enhanced decision-making across various sectors.
What Does Our CAD Floor Plan Service Include?
A 2D floor plan transforms how you visualise and manage your estate layout. With clear, user-focused designs, you can make informed decisions to optimise space, improve efficiency, and reduce costs. Whether for operational purposes or showcasing your facilities, our CAD floor plans can be tailored to suit the unique requirements of your organisation. The key features of our floor plans include:
Scaled Drawings of the Entire Building
Detailed floor plans, designed to support the efficient operational management of your estates.
Multi-Purpose Drawings
Our plans serve a variety of uses, from daily management to long-term planning, offering valuable insights for all stakeholders.
Easy-to-Use PDF Copies
Portable, easy-to-read PDFs allow access to the floor plan of your building or estate wherever you need it.
Location, Use, and Size for Every Room
Each space is mapped with its purpose and dimensions for simplified planning and reporting.
Colour-Coded Room Types
Colour-coded floor plans allow for quick reference and efficient strategic planning.
Rooms Categorised to DfE Codes
Ensure adherence to safety regulations and standards, promoting a safer environment.
Dashboard Output and Integration
CAD floor plan data is integrated into a dashboard, providing visualisations of space usage, room categorisation, and capacity planning to streamline estate management.
Comprehensive Data and Integration for Effective Estate Management
In addition to detailed drawings, our floor plan service delivers critical data to support estate management. Key information about your spaces is compiled into an Excel schedule for easy reference and reporting. Every room is assigned a unique reference number, simplifying tracking and analysis. This data is available at site, building, and room levels, ensuring a thorough understanding of your building’s layout.
All this information is seamlessly integrated into an interactive dashboard, allowing you to monitor space utilisation, room categorisation, and capacity planning. This makes it an essential tool for strategic decision-making.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our floor plans are created using advanced laser scanning technology, capturing precise measurements of all internal and external spaces. Depending on your needs, we can produce highly detailed 2D CAD floor plans or full 3D digital models, ensuring an accurate representation of your building for planning, compliance, and space management.
Yes, we provide floor plans for existing buildings, covering all structures on your site. Using advanced 3D scanning technology, we create precise 2D CAD floor plans or full 3D digital models, ensuring a comprehensive and accurate representation of your estate.
Our advanced laser scanning process is fast and causes minimal on-site disruption. We can scan a room in seconds, however, the time taken to scan an entire estate depends on the size of the buildings. Once scanning is complete, the data is then processed by our production team, ensuring the final 2D CAD floor plan is delivered promptly. Delivery time differs depending on the size of the estate.
Our 2D floor plans are delivered in both PDF and DWG formats, with DWG being the industry standard for engineers. Additionally, all our 2D floor plans are integrated into Power BI dashboards, providing an intuitive way to visualise and navigate your estate. This integration also enables the consolidation of key operational data, including room use, fixed asset management, and capacity planning.
Yes, if we have previously provided a 2D CAD floor plan within the last 12 months, we already have the necessary files to create a 3D BIM of your entire site or estate. This significantly reduces the cost and time required compared to scanning and modelling from scratch, making it a cost-effective way to enhance your building data.
