Know What You Need

Building as-built survey vs. land survey: know which one you need.

In Ontario, "as-built survey" can mean two different things, so it's worth being clear before you book anything.

A building as-built survey (what we do) measures the building itself: rooms, walls, openings, ceiling heights, structure and services. Architects, engineers, contractors and property managers use it when they need accurate information on existing conditions.

A legal or site as-built survey is prepared and signed by an Ontario Land Surveyor (OLS). It shows where the building sits relative to the property boundaries, and municipalities, lenders or lawyers often require it. If that's what you've been asked for, you need a licensed land surveyor.

Not sure which one applies? Tell us what the survey is for and we'll give you a straight answer.

What we capture

  • Room layouts, wall positions and openings on every level in scope.
  • Ceiling heights, columns, stairs and obstructions.
  • Structural, MEP and heritage elements where the project needs them.

Typical Clients

When you need facts about the building before you commit.

01 / Tenants & Landlords

Leasing & fit-outs

Confirm real dimensions and layouts before you design a fit-out or sign off a plan.

What you get
  • Measured floor plans
  • Ceiling heights and obstructions captured
  • A base for space planning
02 / Architects & Engineers

Renovation design

Start design from surveyed existing conditions instead of out-of-date drawings.

What you get
  • DWG and RVT base files
  • Structural, MEP & heritage documentation
  • Point cloud for checking details
03 / Contractors & PMs

Construction verification

Record conditions at key stages or at close-out, and compare what was built against the design.

What you get
  • A scan of conditions on the day
  • Record for project close-out
  • Evidence dated to the scan
Section 03 / Process
Scan → Process → Deliver

Scan. Process. Deliver.

A non-contact survey that captures the whole building in one visit.

Step 01

Scan

We survey the building with a 3D laser scanner, covering rooms, corridors, ceilings and exterior faces as agreed. Most sites take 1 to 4 hours.

Step 02

Process

The scans are joined into a single point cloud and checked, then drafted into the drawings or model you asked for.

Step 03

Deliver

You receive measured drawings in DWG and PDF, a Revit model if it's in scope, and the point cloud. Drawings typically arrive in 3 to 5 business days.

Section 05 / FAQ
Straight Answers

As-built survey questions, answered.

Q/01 What is an as-built survey?
An as-built survey records the existing conditions of a building as it stands today. We carry it out with a 3D laser scanner, which measures millions of points, and turn that data into floor plans, CAD drawings or a Revit model.
Q/02 Is your as-built survey a legal land survey?
No. We survey the building itself. A legal or site survey showing the building against the property lines has to be prepared by a licensed Ontario Land Surveyor. If your municipality, lender or lawyer has asked for one, that's the survey you need.
Q/03 How much does an as-built survey cost?
It mainly depends on floor area, number of levels, complexity and what you need delivered (2D drawings or a Revit model). Send us the address, approximate size and what the survey is for, and we'll quote within 24 hours.
Q/04 How long does an as-built survey take on site?
Most properties take 1 to 4 hours to scan. Larger or more complex buildings take longer, and we'll tell you before we book.
Q/05 Can you survey an occupied building?
Usually, yes. Laser scanning is non-contact, so it can often be done while the space is in use. Let us know about access windows, security requirements or areas we can't enter.
Q/06 How accurate is the survey?
The scan data has survey-grade accuracy, and the drawings are drafted directly from that data.
