Wireless planning for unfinished buildings

Hello community. I've been given a project to design and implement the data infrastructure for an in-construction, 4,000 seat "mega"church. The structure will be a three level amphitheater-like design with a few adjacent rooms for office/study. MDF and IDF locations are set.

We were not involved in the initial design of the building. The original plans call for AP location rimming the back wall of each level with a horizontal cone. Since the plans were drawn, the original electrician has been let go, and the new electrical contractor is itching for us to give them new drop locations. They somehow determined 50 APs total, but just guessed at this number from what I can see, as well as original drop points.

My question is this: the building is only ~60% complete. In a typical project, we'll use carts for a site survey in an existing space. Any advice or experience on how to best figure this out using only floor plans and a partially completed space we can't have unfettered access to?
