Why Measured Documentation Matters in Ottawa
Ottawa's built environment includes a mix of institutional buildings, older commercial stock, and facilities where access, security, and documentation requirements need to be confirmed before mobilization. Laser scanning supports existing-condition capture across a range of project types, from commercial renovations to institutional documentation, where accurate data helps teams plan more effectively.

Scan to BIM
Revit models and IFC files from point cloud data. LOD and discipline scope confirmed before the engagement starts.
CAD Drafting
2D CAD drawings in DWG and PDF, drafted from scan or survey data. Available as a standalone service.
3D Virtual Tours
Hosted, browser-viewable tours for remote review, leasing, facility documentation, and stakeholder access.

Common Project Types in Ottawa
The types of projects most commonly supported in Ottawa, Gatineau, and the National Capital Region.
Institutional Building Documentation
Institutional facilities in Ottawa and the National Capital Region where large or complex buildings require detailed existing-condition documentation for renovation planning, facility management, or capital investment decisions.
Heritage-Sensitive Existing Conditions
Older and heritage-sensitive buildings in Ottawa where irregular geometry, older construction methods, or preservation requirements benefit from precise laser scanning before any design intervention.
Secure or Controlled-Access Sites
Ottawa facilities with controlled-access requirements or security protocols where scanning scope, access windows, and site coordination are confirmed in detail before mobilization.
Kanata Tech and Facility Spaces
Commercial and technology facilities in the Kanata area and broader Ottawa tech corridor where existing-condition documentation supports renovation planning, fit-out, or facility management.
Commercial Renovation Support
Commercial office, retail, and mixed-use renovation projects in Ottawa where as-built documentation is needed before design, tenant improvement, or retrofit work begins.
Ottawa-Gatineau Project Coordination
Projects spanning both sides of the Ottawa River, including Gatineau and the National Capital Region, where cross-jurisdiction coordination and confirmed existing conditions support project delivery.

Requesting a Quote for an Ottawa Project
Ottawa projects often involve institutional protocols, controlled-access coordination, and multi-stakeholder review processes. Including access requirements, security contacts, building management details, and your project timeline in the quote request helps scope the engagement accurately.
What to send before requesting a quote
- Site address or Ottawa neighbourhood (including Gatineau if applicable)
- Site access and security requirements or restrictions
- Project type (institutional, heritage, commercial, controlled-access, facility)
- Service needed (scanning, drawings, BIM, CAD, virtual tour, or drone)
- Areas to scan or document (floor count, zones, or approximate square footage)
- Required deliverables (DWG, PDF, RVT, IFC, E57, tour link)
- Building management contacts and after-hours or occupied-space access details
- Project timeline or deadline
Do you serve projects in Gatineau and the wider National Capital Region?
Yes. On-Site Measurements supports projects in Ottawa, Gatineau, and the broader National Capital Region, including Kanata, Nepean, Orleans, and Barrhaven, after confirming scope, access, and deliverables. Send your site location and we will confirm travel requirements.
Can you document institutional or heritage buildings in Ottawa?
Yes. Institutional facilities and older heritage-sensitive buildings are common project types in Ottawa. Laser scanning is well-suited to complex, large, or geometrically irregular buildings where accurate existing-condition data is needed before renovation, fit-out, or capital planning begins.
How do you handle controlled-access or secure facility sites in Ottawa?
Site access requirements, security protocols, and access windows are confirmed before mobilization. Include any relevant access restrictions, security contacts, or coordination requirements in your quote request so the scope can be planned accordingly.
What deliverables are available for Ottawa renovation and documentation projects?
Common deliverables include registered point cloud files (E57, RCP, LAS/LAZ), 2D as-built drawings in DWG and PDF, and Revit models for Scan to BIM projects. CAD drafting, drone documentation, and 3D virtual tours are also available. Deliverable format and scope are confirmed during the scoping process.
How should I prepare a quote request for an Ottawa project?
Include the site address or Ottawa neighbourhood, the project type, areas to be scanned or documented, required deliverables, any access or security requirements, building management contacts, and your project timeline. For institutional or controlled-access facilities, include known access protocols or coordination requirements.
Does your coverage include Kanata and other Ottawa communities?
Yes. Coverage includes Kanata, Nepean, Orleans, Barrhaven, and Gatineau in addition to central Ottawa. For projects in the broader National Capital Region, send your site location and we will confirm access, scope, and travel requirements.
