Use what you have

From field evidence to as-built plans.

Start with one source or combine several. A rough sketch can establish the layout while photos, notes and walkthrough video fill in the building details.

Hand Sketch

Upload a rough floor-plan sketch showing room relationships and approximate geometry.

Photos

Show walls, doors, windows, stairs, fixtures and other visible existing conditions.

Video Walkthrough

Walk the building while narrating how rooms, openings and spaces connect.

Existing Plans

Use old drawings, PDFs or scanned plans as a starting reference for current conditions.

Aerial + Notes

Add aerial imagery, roof references, field notes and known dimensions to improve the drawing.

How it works

Capture. Generate. Refine. Export.

A guided as-built workflow that turns mixed building information into an editable drawing instead of a static AI image.

01

Add building evidence

Upload sketches, photos, video, old plans, aerial references and dimensions.

02

Generate existing conditions

Sumeria AI interprets the available evidence and develops the initial as-built layout.

03

Review + correct

Check rooms, walls, openings and dimensions. Refine the plan through chat or direct editing.

04

Export to CAD

Export an AutoCAD-editable file and continue detailing in your normal CAD workflow.

Sketch to as-built CAD

Your field sketch does not need to be perfect.

Use a simple sketch to explain the layout, then combine it with photos, video and dimensions. Sumeria AI turns the evidence into a clean, editable as-built drawing you can keep refining.

✓Use sketches to communicate room layout and adjacency.
✓Use photos to clarify windows, doors and visible features.
✓Use narrated walkthroughs to explain circulation and connections.
✓Add known dimensions to improve scale and geometry.

Chat-based drawing edits

Talk to the drawing.

Instead of redrawing everything, describe the correction. Move an opening, rename a room, adjust a dimension or clarify how spaces connect—then review the updated plan visually.

✓Refine the generated layout using plain-language instructions.
✓Make manual drawing edits when you want direct control.
✓Keep iterating before exporting to your CAD workflow.

As-built deliverables

Existing-condition drawings you can keep working with.

Generate the drawing information supported by your project evidence, refine it, and move it into your downstream design workflow.

As-Built Floor Plans

Document walls, rooms, circulation, doors, windows and visible building features from the evidence you provide.

Roof Plan Reference

Use supplied aerial or map imagery together with known building information to develop and refine the roof-plan geometry.

AutoCAD-Editable Export

Export the plan to an AutoCAD-editable format so your team can continue drafting, detailing and documentation.

Better evidence = better results

Give the AI more of the building.

As-built accuracy depends on the clarity, completeness and consistency of the source information. Combine evidence whenever possible and verify dimensions and concealed conditions independently.

Good starting point

Rough sketch + written notes describing the room layout.

Better context

Sketch + walkthrough video + photos of openings and key spaces.

Best available evidence

Multiple sources + known dimensions + existing plans + field verification.

FAQ

AI as-built drawing generator questions.

What can I use to create an as-built drawing?

You can start from rough hand sketches, notes, photos, video walkthroughs, existing drawings, aerial or map imagery, known dimensions, or a combination of these sources. Combining several sources generally gives the AI more context about the building.

Can Sumeria AI create an as-built floor plan from a video walkthrough?

Video can be used as part of the evidence package to understand rooms, openings and how spaces connect. For better results, combine the walkthrough with a simple sketch, photos and known dimensions.

Can I convert a hand sketch into an editable floor plan?

Yes. A rough hand sketch can establish the overall layout. Sumeria AI can use it with other project evidence to generate an editable CAD-like as-built floor plan that you can refine through chat or manual drawing tools.

Can I edit the generated as-built drawing?

Yes. Review and refine the generated plan inside the workspace using chat-based instructions or direct editing. You remain responsible for checking the result against field conditions.

Can I export the as-built drawing to AutoCAD?

Yes. The workflow supports an AutoCAD-editable export so the drawing can continue into a conventional CAD workflow for further drafting and documentation.

Is an AI-generated as-built drawing a field survey?

No. The drawing is generated from the evidence you provide and should be verified against actual field conditions. When a project requires certified measurements, professional surveying, architectural or engineering services, use the appropriate qualified professional.

Sumeria AI As-Built Generator

Turn what you know about the building into an editable as-built plan.

Upload the sketch, photos, walkthrough, notes and existing drawings you already have. Generate the existing conditions, refine them through chat, and continue in CAD.

AI-generated as-built drawings depend on the information supplied and may not capture hidden, inaccessible or undocumented conditions. Verify critical dimensions and existing conditions before design, permitting, construction or other professional use.
