2D & 3D Floor Plans · Chicago & Suburbs
Floor plans measured on site and drawn to scale.
We measure the property with LiDAR, check the drafted plan against video we record on site, and hand back something your buyers, tenants and contractors can actually use. One to two business days, flat pricing, no drafting retainer.

Locally trusted in Chicago & the suburbs
As realtors and property managers ourselves, we know what accurate visual and measurement data is worth on a property for sale or rent.
02 / Purpose
A floor plan does the one thing photos can’t.
It shows how a home actually flows room to room, so a buyer walks into a showing already knowing the layout instead of guessing off nine pictures and a square footage number.
For a multi-unit building it does something different. It lets you compare unit 2B against unit 4A side by side, without walking either one in person.
03 / Applications
Two applications, one drawing.
Straight into the MLS
The plan goes onto the listing site next to your photos. Buyers stop guessing at room sizes from a wide-angle shot, and the showings you book come from people who already understand the layout.
One reference per unit type
A prospective tenant can compare layouts before they ever schedule a tour, and you get one clean drawing for every unit type instead of a memory and an old stack of blueprints.
04 / From a client
“The house I purchased didn’t include floor plans in the listing, which made it tough to visualize the spaces and share specs with contractors for renovations. I asked my realtor for a recommendation and he connected me with Jeff from Dorazio Real Estate. Jeff was super flexible, professional, and delivered floor plans and CAD files in every format I could think of. The whole process was smooth and really helpful for planning my remodel. Couldn’t be happier with the service!”

$299Dimensions & totals
Room dimensions are on every plan by default. Total square footage is too, and it comes off at the agent’s request. Some agents would rather the total didn’t appear on the drawing, so just say the word when you order and we’ll leave it off.
What is GLA?
Gross Living Area is the finished, heated living space of a home, measured to ANSI Z765. That is the standard appraisers and lenders work from, which is why the GLA figure is usually smaller than the total square footage on the same plan.
Order it when the plan is headed to an appraiser or a lender, when a listing is being priced per square foot, or any time a number has to stand up to somebody else's measurement. Skip it when the plan is for marketing and you just need the layout.
ANSI Z765 is a residential standard, so GLA applies to homes and condos. Commercial and industrial buildings get the same scan and the same dimensioned plan, with a total that lists what it excluded, and that covers most of what those plans are used for. If you need a certified area figure for a lease or an appraisal, that is a BOMA measurement or an appraiser’s work, and we will tell you so up front rather than hand you a number that will not hold up.
How the totals are counted
Total square footage counts enclosed interior floor area. Exterior space like patios, porches and balconies comes out, along with garages, loading docks and mechanical or utility rooms. Every plan we deliver lists what areas are excluded along with the associated space calculations.
GLA is stricter, because it follows ANSI Z765, the standard appraisers and lenders measure against. A space counts toward GLA only when it is heated, finished, enclosed, contiguous with the rest of the living area, permitted, and under a ceiling of at least seven feet. Below-grade rooms and unfinished space drop out even when someone uses them daily, and a room you can only reach through excluded space drops out with it.
That is why a finished basement can be comfortable, genuinely usable, and still absent from the GLA figure while it sits inside the total.
Three properties, three outputs. A 2D plan carries the room dimensions and the square footage, a 3D rendering gives a buyer the feel of the space before they walk it, and both come off a single scan. The notated plan underneath shows what custom annotations look like: extra measurements called out where they matter, fixtures labeled, and notes placed wherever a contractor or a tenant needs them.
06 / CAD conversion
Hand your contractor a file they can edit.
We convert a standard 2D floor plan into an accurate, editable CAD file in DWG, DAE, FBX or OBJ format. Architects and contractors work from real geometry instead of a picture, which is what they need to bid a job or plan a build.
The same files carry into architectural documentation, space planning and rendering, so you can try a layout change and share a detailed plan without starting over.
The view beside this was rendered straight out of one of those delivered files. Walls, door swings, window openings and fixtures all came across as real geometry, which is what lets your architect work with it in a preferred CAD application rather than trace over it.
07 / Commercial & industrial
From a storefront to a loading dock.
Warehouses, industrial buildings, offices and commercial storefronts scan the same way a house does, with more of it. One recent industrial job ran to over 42,000 square feet across five sections of a single contiguous building, and two of those sections are below. The storefront underneath them sits at the other end of the range.
What people do with them varies more than the buildings do. Egress and fire escape plans, office layouts, warehouse traffic and loading legends, tenant marketing, facilities reference, and something a contractor can bid off without walking the site twice.
A delivered plan is not set in stone either. Outside of permanent structural elements, we can rework almost anything on the drawing after the scan.
Edits after the scan
Permanent structural elements are what they are. Everything else on the drawing can change: add or remove fixtures, flip a door swing, drop in visible notations or extra measurements, relabel or resize rooms, or move to a custom color scheme. We can also white label a plan or strip our branding off it for an additional fee of $29.
Two correction passes are included at no additional charge. Further structural corrections may require additional fees.
08 / Accuracy
Our floor plans are measured with LiDAR. We also record video while we scan, and that footage does no measuring of its own. It is what a person reviews the drafted plan against afterward, catching anything the scan read wrong before the plan goes out.
Actual accuracy depends on lighting, property condition, and how much of the floor and wall intersections are visible during the scan. In homes with more clutter, unusual layouts or darker rooms, measurement differences can increase slightly.
These plans give buyers and sellers a highly reliable visual layout and a close representation of the home’s dimensions. We can also convert the data into editable CAD files for design or renovation work. For absolute precision, architectural drawings or permit-related work, verify the key measurements yourself or bring in someone who guarantees exact dimensions: a licensed architect, a land surveyor, or a professional measuring service working with laser instruments to a stated tolerance.
Our pricing reflects that balance. Professional-quality plans suited to marketing, listings, design planning and client presentations, without the cost of full architectural drafting. We put this in writing so everyone looking at our work knows exactly what they’re getting.
09 / Before we arrive
Six things that increase the accuracy of your scan.
None of it takes long, and all of it shows up in the finished plan. Selling the property too? Our photo and scan prep guide covers the rest.
The person scanning needs access to the perimeter of every room that goes in the plan.
Furniture doesn’t need to move, but there has to be enough space to walk around each room unimpeded.
The scanner measures a room by bouncing light off the surfaces that enclose it, so it needs a clear look at part of every plane. Leave some of each wall and the floor line beneath it visible rather than covered end to end.
Turn every light on. Dark rooms don’t scan as well and have the potential to decrease accuracy.
Clear the floors of anything that could block a measurement or keep the scanner from reaching an area it needs.
Open the doors to every room going in the scan so the technician can move through freely.
10 / Questions
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to receive my floor plan?
Most plans are delivered within 1–2 business days after the property scan. Larger or more complex properties may need more time, and 3D conversions or additional revisions can extend turnaround.
What format will I receive my floor plan in?
High-resolution PDF, SVG vector, and JPG/PNG files you can use for marketing, planning and reference. Need another format? Tell us and we’ll do our best. CAD files are delivered in DWG, DAE, FBX and OBJ.
Can I make revisions?
Yes. Two correction passes are included at no additional charge. Further structural corrections may require additional fees.
How is Gross Living Area (GLA) calculated?
GLA follows ANSI Z765, the residential appraisal standard. A space counts only when it is heated, finished, enclosed, contiguous with the rest of the living area, permitted, and under a ceiling of at least seven feet.
Below-grade rooms, unfinished space and garages are excluded, and so is any room you can only reach by passing through excluded space. Under a sloped ceiling, the area is counted down to five feet and nothing below that.
What is the difference between a 2D and a 3D floor plan?
A 2D floor plan gives a top-down view with dimensions, square footage calculations and optional GLA measurements.
A 3D floor plan adds depth and perspective for a more immersive view of the space. Every 3D package also includes the standard 2D plan, so you get both from one scan. One pre-rendered, single-angle 3D rendering comes with it, and you can see what that looks like in the samples above. Editable CAD conversions cost extra and deliver multiple editable files and formats.
Can you leave the total square footage off the plan?
Yes. Individual room dimensions are included on every plan by default. The total square footage is shown by default as well, and we’ll leave it off at your request. Tell us when you order.
Do you measure exterior spaces like patios, balconies, or garages?
Not by default, since they don’t count toward livable square footage. If you want them included, let us know in advance.
How should I prepare for the floor plan scan?
Six things, and none of them take long. They’re listed in full under Before we arrive above: access to every room’s perimeter, room to walk around unimpeded, a clear view of walls and baseboards, every light on, clear floors, and open doors throughout.
