OVERVIEW
CAFM / IWMS Polylining
CAFM polylining is the process of creating closed polyline boundaries for every space in a building — rooms, corridors, lobbies, circulation areas, and service zones — in a way that CAFM software can read, link to attribute data, and use for space measurement, allocation, and reporting.
Why PremiumCAD
Our team combines deep technical expertise in CAFM / IWMS Polylining with real-world project experience. Every deliverable passes an independent QA review. Free revisions until you're satisfied.
Without accurate polylines, your CAFM software is working with approximations. Space allocation decisions, chargeback calculations, lease compliance, and headcount planning all depend on the underlying polyline data being geometrically correct and measurement-standard compliant. PremiumCAD's polylining service begins with your existing drawings (PDFs, scanned plans, or CAD files) and delivers a clean, layered DWG with closed, attributed polylines ready for import into your CAFM platform.

WHAT WE PROVIDE
Detailed CAFM / IWMS Polylining Services
Room Polyline Creation
Precise closed polylines for every room, suite, floor, and building. Gross, usable, rentable, and common area measurement in BOMA 2017, IFMA, and IPMS standards. All spaces attributed with room number, name, area, department, and floor.
CAD-to-CAFM Migration
Full extraction and migration of existing CAD drawings (AutoCAD, MicroStation, Revit) into CAFM-ready polyline layers. Attribute data mapped to your CAFM system's field structure. Legacy CAFM platform migrations supported.
Space Inventory & Classification
Complete space inventory compilation — space type classification (office, circulation, amenity, mechanical, service), occupancy status, department allocation, and lease zone attribution. Delivered as DWG + linked Excel or DBF file.
Multi-Site Portfolio Polylining
Consistent polyline standards across multiple buildings and campuses — critical for portfolio-wide benchmarking, energy analysis, and space optimisation. Single standard applied across your entire property portfolio.
Occupancy Tracking Layouts
Workstation-level and departmental occupancy polylines for hot-desking, activity-based working, and headcount reporting. Updated from as-built surveys, CAD redlines, or satellite badge/sensor data.
Emergency Safety Zone Mapping
CAFM-integrated emergency exit zones, assembly point polygons, and restricted area boundaries — linking spatial data to your building's fire safety and emergency response plans.
