dshall Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 I have not tried it. they do it without a site visit. My client got this and there was even floor plans of both floors. Not sure how that was obtained, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe_Carrick Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Site plan preparation is one of the things I hate to do. I'll be using this service in the future. Their Reviews are all positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My client got this and there was even floor plans of both floors. Not sure how that was obtained, So, apparently they do it by guessing based on information provided by someone who doesn't know what they are doing. These drawings might be okay for starting a discussion with a client, but it would scare the heck out of me to design anything for a permit based on these non-educated guesses. The drawings have a very deceptive appearance of precision. Personally, I would look at Magicplan.app, used with an iPad Pro (with LiDAR). You can scan a single room in under a minute with all door/window openings shown reasonably accurately. It draws everything in 3D and draws all this automatically for you with dimensions, from which you can then export a DXF file to import into Chief. If you want even more accuracy (which isn't that bad with LiDAR), you can use this in conjunction with a Bluetooth laser measuring device. AND take integrated photos with notes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 The lot dimensions as drawn are very suspect . We are getting site surveyed. I am curious as to how accurate it is. If this site matches surveyed site I will be very impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dshall Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 No, the assessors plat is unreadable, the original plot was 50x105, it is a corner lot where they closed a portion of one street and the ROW was 60’ AFTER the closure, some of the closure went to lot which increased the size but it was an easement with a subeasement in there and in 1961 some added a detached garage in ROW an d 3’ from curb with a pending remove garage out of ROW order and it is Thursday today.... so the answer is no, I would like a survey or at least a civil engineer to interpret the written Minho jumbo that describes said lot. it is La Jolla, we can afford to do it right.

Wow, that's a story and should have figured you would have tried the easiest method first. Does sound like at least s survey is in order. Good luck.

AvoyeDesign Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Hooboy, why would I outsource this? Do they research through the bylaws to determine setbacks and other restrictions? Do they deterime parking requirements? Lane width requirements? Footpaths? Open space? This is just weird and the price range seems suspect to me.

Well, they bought the home, but I do not think it has been surveyed yet.... so I do not know. They might come to me this year. Whenever you buy something in La Jolla, I think it takes some time to get your feet under you again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justtohelp Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I signed up for this service and paid for the Premium plan. I had high hopes but that was just wishful thinking. The plan was completely off. The property line measurement was the only thing that was correct. Everything else was off by 30% or more. I do not recommend this service.

Please introduce yourself: Sign up for our newsletter your examples show a building outline Hello, not sure I understand your question here. how could you know the building length and distance to property line Using satellite view. you show a distance from roof to property line, which could be determined from satellite your examples show a building outline Correct, we use rooflines. but you show building lines. where do these come from, a guess?? Still not sure what you're referring to. We clearly label rooflines on the buildings as rooflines. on your examples you show a dashed line for the building, correct? No, we cannot accurately show the floor plans of buildings without being provided with such. Therefore, we use rooflines to present the buidling outlines. ok, thats makes sense as other software does similar. someone told me you did buildings but you clarified that We do site plans, not structural plans. site plans here require the building footprint to be shown for bylaw compliance to setbacks so in your examples where you show a building outline, did that come from the homewoner? We can show footprints if you provide the floor plans/structural plans. got it, makes sense you line up the floor plan with the roof outline POWERED BY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
