CAD Site Plan and infrastructure
CAD - Situation Plans and Infrastructure
A site plan is a graphic representation of all existing and proposed improvements to a site. The situation plan or site plan functions as a map for a development project, incorporating all aspects of landscaping, construction, paving, utilities, and terrain features in a single depiction.
Benefits of a Site plan
- Complete, fast and efficient data collection
- High level of detail and valid data
- Eliminates risks in the design, production and installation phases
- Identifies objects and elements
- Image documentation
- Fewer errors resulting in lower costs
- Faster decision-making

The journey starts with “The good design basis”, so you avoid surprises from start to finish throughout the entire project.
If you are facing a larger project where existing conditions must be taken into account, you can ensure a good basis for good project implementation by using scanning. The entire area is covered with a point cloud from scanning, and it is then possible to digitize objects and lines directly from the point cloud. With our Site Plan you get valid, geometric as-built measurement and drawing, which gives you the opportunity to quickly analyze and adapt all aspects between as-built and design, and thereby use the documentation in several stages of a construction project. If there is a need for further digitization after the initial order, this can be easily supplemented from the existing point cloud without the need for additional physical measurement at the location.
A good site plan will include dimensions, vegetation, topography, and infrastructure. Since the site plan is a scale drawing that is used as a building map, everything from buildings, roads, parking, to the landscaping and garden elements, will be shown on it.
What makes a good site plan ?
1.
Directions, notes, and abbreviations, as well as project data.
2.
Property lines: are called out around the exterior of the lot.
3.
Setbacks: These are the spaces between a building and its property line.
4.
Existing and proposed conditions: Fence lines, utility and power lines need to be shown on your site map. These will also illustrate whether inspectors need to be called in during the construction process.
5.
Construction limits: This will show the parts of the property where the construction is happening and show the areas near the site where you’ll be taking up space for equipment parking and storage.
6.
Parking: A site plan will always show parking dimensions, including parking spaces, areas for turning around, and especially in urban and high-traffic areas, the flow of traffic.
7.
Surrounding streets and street signs: Along with the flow of traffic, a site plan will show you how your property functions within the streets and avenues that surround it, or if it is at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. You’ll also be able to see these features in a separate “vicinity map.”
8.
Driveways, walkways, and parking area: A good site plan usually shows the exact dimensions of driveways and curbs.
9.
Fire Hydrants: City codes govern the distance your property must be from fire hydrants, and a new construction site plan will also include these when they are submitted for approval to the city.
10.
Easements: Site plans will always include easements, which is a feature of your property that is shared by someone else for a specific purpose. Examples include a pathway through your property to a neighborhood park, utility lines, or parts of the property that are maintained by a homeowners association.
11.
Landscaped areas: A good site plan will include not only the measurement, but also the type of landscape feature (such as a deciduous tree, or a desert landscape) and retaining walls.
Key applications
- Road construction (residential roads, intersections, viaducts)
- Parks and parking facilities
- Housing associations (residential and common areas)
- Bridges, tunnels, railways
- Inspection: condition assessment
