Building owners often find it taxing to make changes to drawings as changes occur over time, which leave plans outdated and inaccurate. EMJ ensures that clients’ drawings and 3D models are maintained and reflect current conditions. Updated drawings are invaluable once the building is ready to embark on a renovation or addition project. FM Drawing Maintenance
