Boston, MA – 22,979 Sq. Ft. Three-Level Restaurant As-Built Drawings & BIM

As-built drawings and a Revit model for a 22,979 sq. ft. three-level restaurant in Boston, MA. The building holds dining rooms on every floor, three bars including a raw bar, four kitchens, and outdoor decks. GeoMaus delivered Imperial and metric Revit models, ten CAD and PDF sheets, a 3D DWG, and the point cloud.

THE CHALLENGE

Three Levels of Dining, Bars, Kitchens, and Open Decks

This restaurant in Boston, Massachusetts, has about 22,979 sq. ft. of gross external area over three levels: roughly 9,300 sq. ft. on each of the two lower floors and 4,391 sq. ft. on the top level. Each floor has its own dining space, and the building also holds a raw bar, two other bars, four kitchens, offices, a network room, and a mechanical room.

Getting between floors is part of the layout too. A curved feature stair, an enclosed stair, an exterior stair, and elevators connect the levels, while decks and balconies on the upper floors add about 7,000 sq. ft. of outdoor space that had to be captured but kept out of the floor area.

SCOPE OF WORK

Ten Sheets, Two Unit Systems, and a 3D DWG

GeoMaus captured all three levels with Matterport, together with the decks and the street frontage, and delivered the point cloud in ReCap format. The capture also produced a schematic area plan for each floor with room-by-room dimensions.

The drawing set ran to ten sheets: a floor plan and a reflected ceiling plan for each level, elevations on all four sides, a pair of building sections, and a 3D view. Every sheet was issued as CAD and PDF, the full model was exported as a 3D DWG, and the whole set was produced in both Imperial and metric versions.

OUR APPROACH

One Revit Model Carrying Every Floor

The team built a single Revit model of the building from the scan data. It covers walls, glazing, stairs, elevators, bars, kitchen equipment, and furniture on each floor, along with the exterior stair, the slatted roof structure over the top-level terrace, and the deck railings.

Every sheet came from that model, so the plans, ceiling plans, elevations, and sections agree with each other. Issuing Imperial and metric versions from the same model meant the drawings could go to team members working in either unit system without being redrawn.

THE OUTCOME

A Three-Level Record in Revit, CAD, and 3D

The final package includes the Imperial and metric Revit models, ten CAD sheets with matching PDFs, the 3D DWG, the ReCap point cloud, the Matterport 3D tour, and the per-floor area plans. The area schedule lists 9,306, 9,282, and 4,391 sq. ft. for the three floors, with the garage, deck, and balconies counted separately.

Because the whole building sits in one model, anyone planning work on a single floor can see how it lines up with the levels above and below. The tour adds a visual check of finishes and equipment that the drawings show only as linework.
