CAD CONVERSION

Precision Redrafting. US-Based. Delivered Fast.

BuildFlow converts PDFs, scanned blueprints, and paper drawings into accurate, fully editable CAD files — using a 100% manual redrafting process with no auto-vectorization. Every file is recreated by hand in CAD software, using your original as the reference, so what you receive is a clean, layered, production-ready DWG.

With over 26 years serving the AEC market from New York City, our team understands what architects, engineers, and contractors need from a conversion. Same-day service is available at our Midtown Manhattan print center at 44 W 39th Street.

Affordable, Fast and Reliable Conversion

Our redrafting process begins with a thorough review of your source files — whether PDF, scanned image, or paper drawing. We recreate each drawing in CAD software using the original as a precise reference, capturing every line, dimension, annotation, and layer exactly as intended. All converted files are delivered as fully editable DWG files, layered and organized to your standards. Because every drawing is manually redrafted — never auto-traced — the output is clean, accurate, and ready for immediate use in your design workflow.

In order to provide an estimate, we require an initial survey of your original documents or files.

Every Format. Every Drawing Type.

BuildFlow handles the full range of legacy and current document formats across all AEC disciplines:

PDF to CAD — Raster and vector PDFs converted to layered DWG files
Scanned Images to CAD — Blueprints, hand drawings, and microfilm scans redrafted to scale
Paper to CAD — Physical drawings scanned and converted at our NYC facility
As-Built Redlines — Field markups and redline sets incorporated into accurate as-built CAD files

Drawing types include architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, site plans, utility plans, plat maps, and contour maps.

The BuildFlow Difference

Fully Manual Redrafting

We don’t use auto-vectorization software. Every drawing is redrawn by hand by an experienced CAD technician, eliminating the geometry errors, broken lines, and scaling distortions that automated tools produce.

US-Based, 26+ Years in AEC

BuildFlow has operated from New York City for over 26 years, serving architects, engineers, contractors, and facility managers. Our team speaks the language of construction documentation — and we’re available by phone, email, or in person.

Same-Day Service Available

Walk-in conversion service is available at our Midtown Manhattan print center at 44 W 39th Street, Monday through Friday, 9 AM–5 PM. For larger batch projects, turnaround is scoped during the initial survey.
