Still working with paper drawings or outdated scanned PDFs?
Itโ€™s time to bring your legacy documents into the digital era โ€” accurately, affordably, and on time.

At AEC Digital Solutions, we help architects, engineers, contractors, and real estate developers digitize old paper drawings and scanned blueprints into professional 2D CAD drawings and 3D BIM models โ€” ensuring clarity, precision, and ease of future modification.


Why You Should Digitize Your Paper Drawings

Many firms still rely on paper-based archives or scanned PDFs that are hard to read, edit, or scale. These can cause:

  • Inaccurate measurements

  • Poor coordination

  • Wasted time and money during execution

  • Risk during renovation or retrofitting

With digitization, you can:

โœ… Improve project coordination
โœ… Speed up approvals and design reviews
โœ… Eliminate errors from manual redrafting
โœ… Enable easy updates for future changes


๐Ÿงฑ How AEC Digital Solutions Helps You Convert Paper to Digital Models

We offer end-to-end scan-to-CAD and scan-to-BIM services, helping you move from physical drawings to editable, high-precision digital formats.

โœ๏ธ Step-by-Step Process:

  1. Scanning & Review
    You share scanned PDFs or paper drawings. We assess quality and extract all critical data.

  2. 2D CAD Drafting
    We create accurate 2D drawings using AutoCAD โ€” matching layers, line types, dimensions, symbols, and architectural standards.

  3. 3D BIM Modeling
    Using Revit or ArchiCAD, we build detailed 3D models that reflect your buildingโ€™s structure, systems, and spatial layout.

  4. QC & Delivery
    Every file goes through strict quality checks. You receive final editable DWG, RVT, or PDF files, ready for design, construction, or facility management.


๐Ÿ‘ทโ€โ™‚๏ธ Who Needs This Service?

We support clients across sectors:

  • ๐Ÿข Architects & Designers โ€” to update old building records or start digital designs from legacy plans

  • ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Contractors & Builders โ€” to plan renovations or verify as-built conditions

  • ๐Ÿ˜๏ธ Real Estate Developers โ€” to maintain accurate records for approvals, sales, or upgrades

  • ๐Ÿฅ Facility Managers โ€” for better documentation of assets and spaces

We use AutoCAD for 2D drafting and Revit for 3D BIM modeling. We also support formats like Navisworks and ArchiCAD on request.

Q3: Do you follow a standard format or customize based on client needs?

We align with your drawing standards, layer structures, title blocks, and codes โ€” whether itโ€™s US, UK, Australian, or Canadian standards.

Q4: What if my scans are blurry or old?

Our team will manually validate and interpret your drawings with architectural accuracy. We may request clarifications if needed.
