As-Built Drawings in Toronto for Renovation and Existing-Condition Documentation
On-Site Measurements produces measured as-built drawings for Toronto and GTA projects — including commercial renovations, tenant improvements, office retrofits, and existing-condition documentation for design and planning work. Deliverables include 2D floor plans, sections, and elevations in DWG and PDF.

As-Built Drawings for Toronto and GTA Commercial Projects
Toronto's commercial building stock includes a wide range of office towers, mixed-use properties, institutional buildings, and older commercial spaces where existing drawings may be incomplete, inaccurate, or missing entirely. As-built drawings from On-Site Measurements are produced from site measurement, laser scan data, or verified field inputs — not simply copied from outdated records. The resulting floor plans, sections, and elevations reflect the measured condition of the building as it was found. GTA coverage includes North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, Vaughan, Markham, Mississauga, and Brampton. Access constraints, multi-tenant building requirements, and building management contacts should be included in the quote request so the engagement can be planned and scheduled accurately.
What Your Toronto As-Built Drawing Package Can Support
- Renovation scope and design planning
- Tenant improvement and leasehold design input
- Commercial and office retrofit layout reference
- Existing-condition coordination for engineers and contractors
- Facility and property record updates
- Capital planning and space assessment reference
When Toronto Projects Need As-Built Drawings
As-built drawings support a range of Toronto and GTA project types where accurate existing-condition documentation is needed before design, renovation, or planning work begins.
Common Use Cases
Commercial Renovations
Toronto commercial office and retail projects where accurate existing floor plans, ceiling heights, and partition layouts are needed before renovation design begins.
Tenant Improvement (TI) Work
Tenant improvement and leasehold buildout projects across the GTA where confirmed as-built layouts help reduce design risk before construction starts.
Office Retrofits and Fit-Outs
Office fit-out projects in occupied or partially occupied Toronto buildings where the existing floor plate must be documented before design or contractor scope is confirmed.
Missing or Outdated Existing Drawings
Projects where the building owner, architect, or contractor does not have current drawings — a common situation in older Toronto commercial and institutional stock.
Multi-Tenant Building Documentation
Multi-storey commercial buildings across the GTA where individual floor or unit documentation is needed to support leasing, renovation, or facility management.
Pre-Design Existing-Condition Capture
Projects that require a verified baseline of the existing building before an architect or engineer can develop a reliable scope or design package.
As-Built Drawing Deliverables
Deliverable scope is confirmed before the engagement starts. The items below reflect common outputs; sections, elevations, and additional floors are included when in scope.
| Deliverable | Use |
|---|---|
| 2D Floor Plans (DWG / PDF) | Dimensioned floor plans showing walls, columns, doors, windows, and openings. Ceiling heights included when in scope. |
| Building Sections (DWG / PDF) | Vertical sections through the building or specific zones when included in confirmed scope. |
| Elevations (DWG / PDF) | Interior or exterior elevations showing heights, openings, and finishes when included in scope. |
| CAD-Ready DWG Files | AutoCAD-compatible files formatted for direct use by architects, engineers, or contractors in their own CAD workflow. |
| Point Cloud Source Data (E57 / RCP) | Raw or registered scan data files available as an add-on when the team needs access to the underlying point cloud. |
Which Documentation Service Do You Need?
As-built drawings are the right deliverable for most renovation and design-input needs. If your project requires a 3D model, a BIM file, or a hosted walkthrough, one of the services below may better match your scope.
- 3D Laser ScanningThe point cloud capture process that underpins as-built drawings. Available as a standalone deliverable if your team needs the raw scan data rather than drafted drawings.
- Scan to BIMA Revit model (RVT) or IFC file modeled from scan data. The right choice when your project workflow requires a BIM-ready existing-condition model rather than 2D drawings.
- CAD Drafting2D CAD drawings drafted from existing scan data, client sketches, or field measurements — available as a standalone drafting service without a new scan.
- 3D Virtual ToursA hosted, browser-viewable 3D walkthrough of the space — useful for remote design review, leasing, and facility documentation alongside or separate from as-built drawings.

Questions About Our As-Built Drawings — Toronto Service

A standard as-built drawing package includes 2D floor plans showing walls, columns, doors, windows, and openings, with ceiling heights when in scope. Sections and elevations can be added based on your confirmed project scope. Deliverables are provided in DWG and PDF format.
As-built drawings are produced from 3D laser scan data captured on site. A technician scans the space, registers the point cloud, and a drafter produces the 2D floor plans, sections, and elevations from the scan data. The resulting drawings reflect the measured condition of the building as found — not approximations from field notes.
On-Site Measurements serves projects across the Greater Toronto Area, including North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, Vaughan, Markham, Mississauga, and Brampton. Send your site location and we will confirm access, scope, and travel requirements.
If your team has existing drawings and your project scope allows for field verification, we can discuss whether a full scan is necessary. For most renovation and design-input projects, scanning is recommended because existing drawings are often out of date, incomplete, or do not reflect the actual built condition.
Turnaround depends on the size of the space, the number of floors, the confirmed drawing scope, and site access requirements. For a single-floor commercial space, scan and deliverable timelines are confirmed during scoping. Multi-floor or complex projects require a more detailed timeline review.
Yes. As-built drawings are delivered in DWG format compatible with AutoCAD and most CAD-based design workflows. Architects and engineers can import the drawings directly as design backgrounds or reference layers. If your team needs a Revit model or IFC file for BIM-based workflows, the Scan to BIM service may be more appropriate.
Yes. Most Toronto commercial projects are scanned in occupied or partially occupied buildings. We coordinate around business hours, tenant requirements, and building management protocols. Access and scheduling constraints should be included in your quote request so the engagement can be planned accordingly.
