Serving New York City & the Five Boroughs

As-Built Surveys & BIM for New York's Large Commercial Buildings

When your drawings don’t match the building, every decision downstream is a risk. GeoMaus captures commercial buildings as they actually exist – floor plans, Revit models, and CAD sets your team can rely on from day one.

Typical projects: Existing buildings in New York, 50,000 sq. ft. and above. Hotels, warehouses, distribution centers, industrial facilities, and large commercial properties.

The Problem

Most NYC Buildings Don't Have Drawings You Can Trust

New York’s building stock is old, modified, and complex. When original drawings are missing or wrong, every project decision downstream carries that risk.

Outdated floor plans that don't match the building
Decades of fit-outs, alterations, and MEP changes never recorded.
Change orders from field surprises mid-project
Walls, beams, and systems in the wrong place cost you time and money.
DOB filing delays from inaccurate documentation
Drawings that don't reflect actual conditions cause review cycles and rejections.
No single accountable contact at your survey firm
Project coordinators relay messages. Nobody owns quality end to end.

WHAT WE DELIVER

Services for New York's Large Commercial Buildings

We work on buildings 50,000 sqft and above including hotels, offices, warehouses, distribution centres, and multi-site portfolios where accurate documentation is non-negotiable.

HOW IT WORKS

From First Call to Delivered Drawings

Every project runs the same way. One point of contact from start to finish.

On every project, you’ll work directly with Michael Kiernan, GeoMaus’s founder, from the first call through to delivery. No project coordinators, no handoffs, no relayed messages. When something changes onsite or a deadline shifts, you’re speaking to the person who can make the call.

Michael Kiernan - Founder of GeoMaus

No account managers, no handoffs. When you need a decision, you're talking to the person who can make it.

The First Call - Straight to Michael

You'll spend 30 minutes on a call with me, not a salesperson. We'll talk through your building, your timeline, and what you actually need at the end. If your project isn't a fit for us, I'll tell you on that call and point you somewhere better.

Onsite - Built Around Your Operations

We plan every scan day around how your building runs. Out of hours for retail and hospitality, around shift changes for warehouses, security-cleared teams for sensitive sites. You'll know exactly who's onsite, when, and what they're doing.

Processing & Verification

Once we leave site, your data is processed by one team and quality-checked by another. By the time anything reaches you, two people have signed off on it. You don't have to be the quality control.

Delivery - Exactly How You Ordered It

You'll receive your drawings and models in whatever format your design team, facilities manager, or asset manager already works in. Revit, AutoCAD, PDF & Matterport. Plus a project handover call so nothing gets lost in translation.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What NYC Clients Ask Before They Start

Everything you need to know about our workflow, accuracy, and deliverables.

Can you scan occupied buildings without closing them?

Yes, this is standard for us. For hotels we work floor by floor around occupancy. For offices we work early mornings, evenings, or weekends. For warehouses we work around shift changes. You’ll get a clear access plan before anything goes onsite, no surprises for your team or tenants.

Do the drawings work for NYC DOB permit filings?

Our drawings capture existing conditions as they actually are – which is the documented baseline your architect of record needs for DOB submissions. We’re not a licensed NYC architecture firm, but architects across the city use our as-built surveys as the foundation for permit drawings, Local Law compliance work, and renovation filings.

We have some existing drawings, do you still need to rescan?

Depends what you have. If your existing drawings are recent, complete, and known to be reliable, we can work with them as a reference. More often in NYC, existing drawings are 20+ years old, partially wrong, or don’t reflect fit-outs and changes made over time. Michael will review what you have on the initial call and give you a straight answer on whether a full survey is needed or whether part of the building can be verified against existing drawings.

What formats are drawings delivered in?

We deliver in whatever format your design team already works in – Revit (RVT), AutoCAD (DWG), PDF, and IFC as standard. Point cloud data in E57 and RCP. If your team uses ArchiCAD or SketchUp, tell us at the brief stage and we’ll accommodate it.

How long does it take to get my drawings?

Site time depends on the building – a 50,000 sqft floor plate is typically one to two days onsite. Delivery varies by scope and complexity. Smaller projects are typically delivered within two weeks of scanning. Larger projects (100,000+ sqft, multi-floor, MEP included) take longer. Michael will give you a realistic timeline at the brief stage, not a sales promise.

Can you cover multi-site portfolios across NYC boroughs?

Yes. We have 500+ field technicians across the US, including coverage across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. For portfolio programmes across multiple boroughs or across states, we deliver every site to a consistent standard so your team isn’t re-learning the drawings for each location.

What size buildings do you work on in New York?

Our typical NYC projects are 50,000 sqft and above including offices, hotels, warehouses, and distribution centers. We have a Times Square commercial project at 40,000 sqft and have handled multi-state portfolios exceeding 200,000 sqft per property. If you’re unsure whether your building fits, get in touch and Michael will tell you directly on the first call.

Who actually runs my project?

Michael Kiernan, GeoMaus’s founder, runs every project personally. You’ll have his direct line from the first call. The MEP drawing production is delivered by our team, but the planning, the quality control, and any decision that affects your programme are owned by Michael.
