From the city to Silicon Valley
The Bay Area's older housing stock and dense commercial spaces demand precise documentation, and FastAsBuilt provides laser-measured as-built plans across all five core counties — San Francisco, Alameda, Santa Clara, San Mateo, and Contra Costa. We work with contractors renovating Victorians in San Francisco, homeowners adding units in Oakland and Berkeley, tech tenants building out offices in Palo Alto and Sunnyvale, and families expanding Eichlers and mid-century ranches across the Peninsula and South Bay. Every project gets the same rigorous field verification and clean CAD deliverables, typically within 48–72 hours of the site visit.
Turnaround times are estimates and may vary based on project complexity and scheduling.
Why Bay Area projects start with as-builts
With some of the highest property values in the nation, every square foot in the Bay Area is contested — and every project leans hard on the base drawings. Additions and vertical expansions on small San Francisco and Peninsula lots need exact existing footprints before setback and envelope questions can even be asked. The region's ADU and unit-conversion boom, from Oakland backyard cottages to San Jose garage conversions, starts with documented existing conditions. Seismic retrofit planning for older wood-frame homes, soft-story apartment buildings, and unreinforced structures requires drawings that reflect the real structure, not the original blueprints. And commercial tenant improvements — offices, labs, restaurants, retail — depend on verified floor plates for space planning, code review, and lease exhibits.
Ready for the strictest plan checks in California
Bay Area jurisdictions are known for detailed, design-review-heavy permitting. The San Francisco Department of Building Inspection pairs with Planning for layered review of nearly any exterior change; Oakland, Berkeley, and San Jose each run thorough building divisions with their own submittal standards; and Peninsula cities like Palo Alto and Redwood City add architectural review boards on top. Our drawings are dimensioned, layered, and formatted so your permit application clears review the first time: existing-condition floor plans, elevations and sections where needed, Title 24 documentation, and clear notation of the conditions reviewers check first — egress, setbacks, and how much of the structure is being altered.
A century and a half of building styles
Few regions mix architecture like the Bay Area: 1880s Victorians and Edwardians, Craftsman bungalows, stucco Marina-style flats, mid-century Eichlers with radiant slabs and glass walls, post-war suburbs in Fremont and Hayward, and modern tech-era infill. Buildings this old carry decades of undocumented changes — moved walls, converted basements, enclosed porches — which is exactly why lenders, designers, and plan checkers all want a freshly measured set rather than whatever is on file. We measure what's actually there, down to wall thicknesses and ceiling heights.
Transparent pricing, local scheduling
2D as-built plans start at $900 and 3D plans at $1,500 for properties up to 1,500 square feet, with straightforward per-square-foot pricing above that. Every order includes permit-ready PDFs and editable DWG files with revisions included, delivered by licensed, insured teams that schedule quickly from San Francisco to San Jose.
