We do As-Built Drawings in Toronto, Markham, Aurora, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Bradford, Brampton, Oakville, Oshawa, Etobicoke, Mississauga, Hamilton all over GTA. Here is what you need to know:

 

Both as-built and existing-conditions drawings are rendered post-construction. However, as-built drawings are usually less detailed, and they may only include information that is pertinent to a certain project. For example, you may need an as-built drawing to display the existing wood structure of a building so that you can draft new millwork plans for an upcoming addition. Or, you may use as-built drawings to show the total square footage of a development, when its original blueprints are outdated, lost, or inaccurate due to renovations over the years.

 

On the other hand, existing conditions drawings may be necessary for more in-depth purposes. If you’re tacking on an addition to a building, for example, you may need existing-conditions MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) drawings so that these infrastructural elements can be planned for and expanded on. Existing-conditions drawings are also usually smaller in scale — we may render a room or two at a time for an existing-conditions project, whereas an as-built project may include several floorplans in a multi-unit development.

 

When Are As-Built Drawings Necessary?

 

We find that as-built drawings are necessary for a number or reasons:

 

• Construction processes required plan modification: As plans are handed from architect to contractor, modifications may be necessary (or preferred). We can redraft current architectural plans to show design changes implemented for the construction process.
• The plans are simply gone: If the plans for your building can’t be found, we can recreate the drawings according to your measurements.
• There were never any plans: With older buildings, architectural drawings may never have existed. We can create new architectural drafts from scratch; again, we’ll simply need accurate measurements of the building.
• The plans are illegible: If you have plans that are partially or fully illegible, we can draft up a new set of architectural plans. Blueprints and drafts age and weather, and over time, smudges and sun damage can render a plan completely illegible. That’s why we’re here!
• Rentable space, livable space, and gross area: If you need to recalculate the total space of buildings on your property for sales purposes, tenant documentation, etc., as-built drawings can accommodate your needs.

 

Our professionals make cadastral surveys of existing buildings asbuilt in Toronto, complying with all regulations required by current technical standards. We deliver the final products of CAD-designed work in DWG and PDF extensions. All drawings are presented with:

 

• Floor plans 
• Cross-sections
• Exterior elevations
• Interior elevations
• Layout plans
• Site plans
