Case Study: Structural Surveys Ltd. achieves on-site, accurate digital design and streamlined workflows with Autodesk's AutoCAD mobile app

Design process transformed by use of AutoCAD mobile app

Structural Surveys Ltd., a Warrington-based structural survey and design firm, needed a truly “digital first” way to create on-site designs and capture accurate site geometry for home renovations and extensions. The company already used AutoCAD LT and, while building a new design department, discovered Autodesk’s AutoCAD mobile app (included with their AutoCAD LT subscription) as a potential instant solution for designing directly at client sites.

Using Autodesk’s AutoCAD mobile app on an iPad with an Apple Pencil and laser measurer, the team can draw, edit and visualize 2D plans with clients on-site, then sync those files seamlessly into AutoCAD LT back at the office. The result is faster, more accurate drawings, immediate client buy-in through on-site visualization, streamlined workflow with no formatting issues, and quicker handoff to construction documentation—transforming Structural Surveys Ltd.’s design process.
