As-Built Measuring Services in Montreal: Measured Drawings and Floor Plans
On-Site Measurements produces measured as-built drawings for Montreal projects: commercial and institutional renovations, older building documentation, tenant improvements and existing-condition reference for design and planning. Deliverables include 2D floor plans, sections and elevations in DWG and PDF.

As-Built Drawings for Montreal Commercial and Institutional Projects
Montreal has a large stock of older commercial, institutional and mixed-use buildings, from greystone and masonry blocks in the central boroughs to mid-century institutional campuses, where the original drawings are often missing, hand-drawn or no longer match the building. Walls are rarely square, floor levels change within a storey, and additions from different decades meet in ways a design team cannot assume from old plans. A measured as-built set, sometimes called a relevé de bâtiment, records the building as it stands so renovation, fit-out and capital planning can start from what is actually there. Projects across the island, Laval and the South Shore are scoped the same way: confirm the areas and drawing views, capture the space in one visit where access allows, and draft the set from the registered scan.

What Montreal Teams Get From an As-Built Set
- Renovation scope and design planning for older buildings
- Tenant improvement and commercial fit-out coordination
- Institutional facility records for universities, hospitals and municipal buildings
- Leasing and property management floor plans
- Capital planning for building owners and managers
- Existing-condition reference where original drawings are missing or in a legacy format
When Montreal Projects Need As-Built Drawings
As-built drawings support Montreal project teams who need reliable existing-condition documentation before renovation, tenant improvement, institutional planning or capital work begins.
Common Use Cases
Older Building Renovation
Renovation projects in older Montreal commercial, institutional and mixed-use buildings where the original drawings are missing, incomplete or no longer match the building, so a measured set is the first step before design.
Tenant Improvement and Commercial Fit-Out
Office, retail and mixed-use fit-outs in Montreal where confirmed layouts, ceiling heights and partition positions are needed before design or construction starts.
Institutional Facility Documentation
Universities, hospitals and municipal facilities in Montreal where existing-condition drawings are needed across multiple floors or phases for renovation planning and facility records.
Heritage-Context Existing Conditions
Buildings in or near heritage-sensitive areas of Montreal where an accurate record of existing conditions is needed before any design intervention, whether or not the building is formally designated.
Property Management and Leasing Records
Commercial and residential property teams across the Montreal area who need current measured floor plans for leasing, marketing or ongoing building management.
Industrial and Warehouse Documentation
Industrial, warehouse and manufacturing facilities in the Montreal region where equipment layouts, structural grids and clearances need to be documented for retrofit, expansion or planning.
As-Built Drawing Deliverables
Deliverable scope is confirmed before the engagement starts. The items below reflect common outputs for Montreal projects; sections, elevations and additional floors are included when in scope. Units, title block and sheet conventions are confirmed during scoping.
| Deliverable | Use |
|---|---|
| Floor Plans (DWG / PDF) | Measured 2D floor plans showing walls, partitions, doors, windows, columns, stairs and dimensions. Level of detail confirmed before engagement. |
| Reflected Ceiling Plans (when in scope) | Ceiling grid, tile, fixtures and height annotations where required for renovation coordination. |
| Sections and Elevations (when in scope) | Building sections and interior elevations where needed for renovation, leasing or facility planning, including level changes common in older buildings. |
| Site Plans (when in scope) | Exterior site layouts for larger commercial, institutional or industrial properties where site context is required. |
Which Documentation Service Do You Need?
As-built drawings deliver 2D measured documentation. For point-cloud data, BIM models, aerial documentation or virtual walkthroughs, the services below may better fit your project scope.
- 3D Laser ScanningPoint-cloud capture for Montreal buildings and facilities where downstream CAD or BIM deliverables are required.
- Scan to BIMExisting-condition Revit models from scan data for Montreal projects requiring BIM-based design coordination.
- CAD Drafting2D drawing production from existing scan data, PDF plans or field notes when a new site scan is not required.
- 3D Virtual ToursBrowser-viewable interior walkthroughs for remote review, leasing documentation or facility reference.

Requesting a Quote for a Montreal As-Built Drawings Project
Older Montreal buildings often have multiple tenancies, partial access and level changes between wings. Including access details, floor count and occupancy status helps scope the engagement and reduces back-and-forth during delivery.
What to send before requesting a quote
- Site address or Montreal borough
- Property type (commercial, institutional, mixed-use, industrial, residential)
- Areas to document (floor count, zones or approximate square footage)
- Required deliverables (DWG, PDF or both)
- Intended use (renovation design, leasing, facility records, capital planning)
- Existing drawings or CAD files if available
- Building management contacts or access requirements
- Project timeline or deadline
Questions About Our As-Built Drawings in Montreal Service

An as-built drawing package typically includes 2D floor plans in DWG and PDF. Reflected ceiling plans, sections and elevations can be added when in scope. Deliverable scope, units and sheet conventions are confirmed before the engagement starts.
A technician captures the space using a 3D laser scanner. The registered point cloud is then used to draft the 2D drawings. This approach suits older Montreal buildings where walls are out of square, floor levels change and hand-measuring is slow and unreliable.
No. As-built drawings are existing-condition documentation. They are not stamped drawings, engineered drawings or permit-ready construction documents. Design and engineering review is the responsibility of the project's design team.
Yes. Older building documentation is a common project type in Montreal. Irregular walls, vaulted or sloped ceilings and level changes are captured in the scan and shown in the drawings. Any restrictions on access or equipment should be included in the quote request.
Yes. On-Site Measurements serves Montreal and surrounding communities including Laval, Longueuil, Brossard, Westmount, Saint-Laurent and Pointe-Claire. Send your site location and we will confirm travel requirements and access.
Include the property type, floor count, areas to document, required deliverables, intended use and any access or building management requirements. For multi-tenant or institutional buildings, note which areas are occupied and when they can be accessed.
