As-Built Drawings in Winnipeg, MB
Laser-Scanned Floor Plans for Winnipeg Buildings
Trusted by Leading Brands and Industry Leaders
What you get
What you get from ADS is a measured record of the building and the drawings made from it. The scan produces a registered 3D point cloud and a 360° digital twin you can walk through in a browser; from the point cloud we draft 2D CAD in AutoCAD and PDF (floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, elevations, sections) and, when your team needs it, a Revit model at LOD 200–300 with MEP and structural elements where scoped. BOMA area calculations are available on request.
We have not yet published a Winnipeg or Manitoba project. The nearest completed work is a 1,750 sq ft Daylight Coffee shop in Basehor, Kansas, documented in May 2024, and in Canada the 13,468 sq ft MacMillan Theatre at the University of Toronto, scanned with a Matterport Pro3 over the 2024–25 holiday break. In Quebec we captured the 30,000 sq ft Douglas Hospital in Verdun with a Leica RTC360 in 2024 and the 291,798 sq ft Pointe-aux-Trembles Secondary School between October 2024 and February 2025, so large institutional buildings are familiar ground.
How a Winnipeg project runs: you send the address, approximate area and the deliverables you want, and we reply with an itemized quote that lists travel separately. A technician scans the building in one visit while it stays in use. We register the scans into a single point cloud, draft the drawings and model from it, and send you the set for review before final delivery.
Winnipeg FAQ
What does it cost?
Four things set the price: floor area, how much is in the space (fixtures, exposed services, millwork), the deliverables you choose and travel. Point cloud plus 2D CAD is the base; Revit is an add-on. The quote is itemized.
Is it worth bringing you in from out of town?
For most buildings, yes. The scan is one visit by one technician; registration, drafting and modeling happen afterward in our office, so the travel line is a small share of a whole-building job.
How accurate is it?
We use Leica RTC360, Leica BLK2GO and Matterport Pro3 scanners and draw from the point cloud, so every dimension is measured on site rather than carried over from old plans.
Does the building have to close?
No. We work around tenants, staff and the public, and can scan outside business hours where that is easier.
Will the drawings work for my permit?
Yes. The set is prepared as the existing-conditions base your architect or engineer files with the City of Winnipeg's Planning, Property and Development Department. Building permits are reviewed against the Manitoba Building Code and the Winnipeg Building By-law, and where a development permit is required it must be obtained before the building permit application is submitted. Your design professional makes the submission.
Who owns the files?
You do. CAD, PDF, Revit and the point cloud go to you and your consultants.

Basehor, KS · 1,750 sq ft · 2024
Floor, reflected ceiling and roof plans, elevations, AutoCAD drawings with annotated PDF sheets, high-resolution LiDAR data and a 360° digital twin for collaboration were handed to the design team for this 1,750 sq ft cafe. - Douglas Hospital
Verdun, QC · 30,000 sq ft · 2024
More than 85 exterior elevations were drawn from LiDAR and drone data for this Verdun hospital, giving architects and consultants georeferenced existing-conditions records for facade analysis and long-term preservation. - Pointe-aux-Trembles Secondary School
Pointe-aux-Trembles, QC · 291,798 sq ft · 2025
Architects and engineers working on this Quebec school's renovation and facility upgrades needed reliable building information. A 3D laser scanning and drone survey covered the interior and exterior, nearly 292,000 sq ft in all, at consistent accuracy.
