How an Old Paper Drawing Transformed into a Modern Digital Floor Plan
In real estate and construction, every detail matters. Especially the floor plan. While many think of it mainly as a sales tool, it’s just as important for project documentation, building permits, and renovations. This was exactly the case for one of our clients: an old paper drawing that needed to be converted into a digital floor plan to submit heating system upgrade plans to the municipality.
Problem: Paper Plan not Suitable for Official Use
The client did have an old paper floor plan, but updates had to be made on a digital plan
- Only one physical copy of the plan existed
- The municipality required a digital file of the project (PDF or DWG) for submission
- A manually scanned paper plan was not accepted
As a result, the entire heating system project was stalled because the base drawing wasn’t in the required digital format.
Solution: Digitization to Professional PDF Format
We converted the old plan into a precise digital floor plan, redrawing every line to ensure accuracy and scale.
The client received a ready-to-use PDF and DWG file, which could be immediately submitted for the heating system project.

Why a Digital Floor Plan Works Better
- Accepted for official use – meets the digital format standards required by municipalities and designers.
- Clean, modern appearance – professional look suitable for both technical documents and property listings.
- Accurate and reliable – ensures correct measurements and layout for planning and construction.
- Flexible for multiple uses – one digital file works for renovation projects, listings, and print.
- Free revisions and fixed price per m² – a transparent, risk-free service.
Digital Plans – Useful for Both Projects and Sales
This case shows that digital floor plans aren’t just for selling real estate.
They’re also essential for everyday administrative, design, and renovation processes. If you’re preparing documents for your municipality or planning a property upgrade, a professional digital plan saves time and prevents costly delays.
