A firm foundation to residential renovation
Plans X press was started by Mariano Velazquez to provide a firm foundation to residential renovation and commercial tenant improvement projects by providing quality as-built plans to property owners and design professionals. We use state-of-the art 3D scanning technology and expertise in CAD software and the AEC industry (architecture, engineering, and construction) to survey real property.

Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics with Magna Cum Laude honors from Cal State Dominguez Hills.
Passion for design and years of experience as a CAD expert and General Contractor
Passion for design
While in high school, Mariano took the opportunity to design an elliptical arch in a construction project where his father was the general contractor. This was his first taste of applied geometry. In 1994 he obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics with Magna Cum Laude honors from Cal State Dominguez Hills. He spent the following four years in management working for a national retailer where he used computers to develop and implement effective information management systems; he thrived in an intense, demanding, and fast-paced environment.
This proved to be excellent training for construction years later. In 1999 he discovered CAD (computer aided design.) He immediately reconnected with his love of mathematics and geometry and worked with various architects to design amazing projects. He quickly mastered the latest 3D design tools and in 2001 became a trainer for a software reseller where he delivered training courses to clients such as Walt Disney Imagineering. In 2014, Mariano became a Class B General Contractor to help his design clients.
When surveying a building to produce as-built plans, Mariano uses his passion for design and years of experience as a CAD expert and General Contractor to determine what is relevant to include in the set of plans to support real property owners, designers, and builders.
