Outline Services
Providing a Range of
Commercial & Residential Services
Architects & Interior Designers
Architects are the single biggest users of As-Built drawings followed closely by Interior Designers, Contractors and other property related consultants. Any design project that involves an existing building requires an accurate base set of drawings to start from. We provide this service, allowing the Design Team to focus their attention on producing cutting edge design.
Facilities Management
Companies & Corporates are increasingly under pressure to reduce their monthly overheads and manage their buildings/assets as effectively as possible. As-Built plans are a critical tool for the continual assessment and management of a portfolio and to make sure buildings comply with the latest statutory requirements.
Subcontractors & Shopfitters
Whether it’s fitting out a new store, installing a shopfront, applying a new floor product or adjusting a kitchen unit we can assist. Using the best equipment, Outline can scan and provide you with all the measurements that you would need. The benefits include less human error, resulting in accurate and competitive pricing and being able to turn jobs around more efficiently.
Real Estate
Marketing & Sales Agents need to provide prospective buyers with as much information about the property as possible. A simple As Built plan showing the room layouts and flow of the house together with basic dimensions and areas forms an important component of the marketing material. In addition to being able to provide the Agent or Seller with a layout plan, Outline has the technical capability to produce a user-friendly 3D photographic model. This model allows the potential Buyer to fly through the different zones of the house from the comfort of their sofa, despite possibly being in a completely different time zone or location.
Owners & Asset Management
Outline uses the latest technology and equipment to account for all areas in a building and to prepare an accurate set of base plans. Outline then applies the latest SAPOA floor area guidelines to calculate the total rentable area of the building. By following and applying this process, Outline ensures that an asset achieves its optimum rental and its true value. The result is verified through a set of drawings and a floor area certificate which is issued to the Client on completion.
Valuers & Financial Institutions
Outline assists valuers and financial institutions by verifying and documenting the condition of an existing building at the time of valuation or purchase. This is achieved by utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and providing the Client with a comprehensive set of plans verifying existing floor areas, as well as a photographic 3D model that captures and records the existing condition of a building.

Testimonials
I used Outline to do some house plans for me on short notice as I was selling my property. Outline managed to turn around the basic floor plans within a couple of days, and the more detailed plans with a week. Overall great service and Ross provides regular updates and feedback! I highly recommend the company and will use them again.
Alyson SmithRoss is extremely approachable, very generous with his advice and ideas. He tried to answer all my questions, even the ones outside of the scope of work his business offers. He delivered the required information on time and on budget – no miscommunication of charges.
