The PDF-to-CAD conversion is not an automated process and requires CAD experts to meticulously convert your files with accuracy.

Benefits of CAD Conversion Services

For many years, the CAD program was limited to 2D plans; now you can have 2D or 3D CAD files. While 3D CAD models are now accessible, Revit has been a preferred tool by many architects, engineers, and designers. And since our main goal is to streamline the design process, we prefer converting your drawings with Revit.

Just recently, we were contacted by the design studio that had taken over an ongoing architectural project. The original plans had been developed using CAD, and at first glance—viewed only as static PDFs—no major issues stood out.

We’ve collaborated closely with this studio on several past projects, so they entrusted us once again to provide drafting services. At the time, the existing building hadn’t been demolished yet. We offered both scan to CAD and scan to BIM services to improve accuracy, but the homeowners preferred not to disturb the current tenants.

As we began modeling the structure, several issues started to emerge. Balconies on the single-family residential buildings were misaligned, and other structural roof clashes became apparent. We’ve since been coordinating closely with the studio's architect to explore and resolve these problems.

This experience highlights one of the biggest advantages of moving beyond traditional CAD files—updating to BIM allows issues to be caught and addressed early, saving time, money, and headaches down the line.

What our customers say

“Alex and his team were great to work with. Prompt, well priced, quick scheduling and turn around of the digital files. The most incredible part though was the quality and depth of work for my As-Built needs (medium home remodel). I have had several architects, designers and engineers ask me who did this great work. They were all impressed. Nice job Alterpex, well done. Will be recommending and using you in the future. Thanks!”

“After experiencing time and communication challenges with a previous vendor, we decided to bring Alterpex on board. Their performance has been exceptional: they provided us with excellent As-Builds, maintained swift and effective communication, and delivered drawings of impressive quality. We've successfully completed two projects with them and have every intention of continuing to engage their services for our upcoming endeavors.”
