As-Built Drawings for Toronto Architects, Engineers & Contractors

We laser-scan the building as it stands today and draft it in CAD or Revit, so your renovation, fit-out or addition starts from measurements you can trust instead of old plans and a tape measure. Serving the GTA, Kitchener-Waterloo and projects across Canada and the USA.

Section 01 / Overview
What You're Buying

Drawings of the building that exists, not the one that was designed.

An as-built drawing records a building exactly as it was built and as it stands now: wall positions, door and window openings, ceiling heights, columns, stairs, and all the changes nobody wrote down. After years of renovations, tenant fit-outs and field changes, the original design drawings rarely match reality.

Instead of measuring room by room with a tape and a laser distance meter, we capture the whole space with a 3D laser scanner. The scanner records millions of measured points (a point cloud), and our CAD technicians draft your drawings directly from that data with survey-grade accuracy.

Scope it to your project

  • Floor plans for every level scanned are the core of most as-built sets.
  • Structural, MEP and heritage documentation where the project calls for it.
  • A Revit model instead of (or as well as) 2D CAD. See scan to BIM.
  • Need other views? Tell us when you request a quote and we'll confirm the scope.
Section 02 / Who It's For
Typical Clients

Built for the people who have to design on top of it.

01 / Architects & Designers

Renovations, additions & interiors

Start design from a measured base instead of re-tracing an old PDF. Drawings arrive in DWG or RVT, ready to draft over.

What you get
  • Existing-conditions base plans
  • A base your permit set can build on
  • Revit when you work in BIM
02 / Engineers

Structural & MEP

Check clearances, locate columns and plan duct and pipe routes against real geometry before you issue drawings.

What you get
  • Structural and MEP documentation
  • Point cloud for checking details
  • Fewer return trips to site
03 / Contractors & Owners

Fit-outs, close-out & facilities

Price work from real dimensions, record what was actually built, and give facilities teams drawings that match the building.

What you get
  • Measurements before you bid
  • Record of built conditions
  • Floor plans for facility management
Section 03 / Process
Scan → Process → Deliver

Scan. Process. Deliver.

One site visit. No coming back to re-measure the room someone missed.

Step 01

Scan

We set up a 3D laser scanner at positions throughout the building and capture every room, corridor and ceiling. Most properties take 1 to 4 hours on site.

Step 02

Process

The scans are joined into one point cloud and checked. Our CAD technicians then draft your floor plans and any agreed views directly from the measured points.

Step 03

Deliver

You receive DWG, PDF and/or RVT files, usually within 3 to 5 business days, plus the point cloud on request.

Section 05 / Cost
Pricing Factors

What drives the cost of as-built drawings?

Every building is different, so we quote each project. These are the factors that move the price:

  • Size: total floor area and number of levels.
  • Complexity: an open warehouse scans and drafts faster than a floor of small offices with dropped ceilings, MEP and millwork.
  • Level of detail: floor plans only, or additional views and a Revit model.
  • Format: 2D CAD (DWG/PDF) or a 3D BIM model (RVT/IFC).
  • Access and location: occupied spaces, after-hours access, and travel outside the GTA.
Section 06 / FAQ
Straight Answers

As-built drawing questions, answered.

Q/01 How accurate are your as-built drawings?
We draft from 3D laser scan data captured with survey-grade accuracy. That's far tighter than hand measuring, where small errors add up from room to room.
Q/02 How much do as-built drawings cost in Toronto?
Pricing depends on floor area, number of levels, complexity, the level of detail and whether you need 2D CAD or a Revit model. Send us the address, approximate square footage and what the drawings are for, and we'll reply with a quote within 24 hours.
Q/03 How long does it take to get as-built drawings?
Scanning most properties takes 1 to 4 hours on site. Finished drawings are usually delivered within 3 to 5 business days after the scan.
Q/04 Can I use your as-built drawings for a building permit in Toronto?
Our drawings give your architect, engineer or BCIN-qualified designer an accurate existing-conditions base. The permit set itself, and any required seal or BCIN, comes from the designer of record who prepares the proposed work. Because we deliver DWG and RVT, they can draft directly on top of our files.
Q/05 What's the difference between as-built drawings and record drawings?
The terms are often used interchangeably. Record drawings are usually the contractor's marked-up design set at the end of a project, showing the changes they noted. Our as-built drawings come from measuring the finished building, so they show what is actually there, including changes nobody recorded.
Q/06 Do you produce as-built drawings outside Toronto?
Yes. We have a strong presence in the GTA and Kitchener-Waterloo, and we take projects across Ontario, the rest of Canada and select markets in the USA.
