Most Toronto homeowners are well served by 2D as-built plans. Here's when a full 3D Revit model is worth the extra cost.

Unpermitted work can stall or reprice a Toronto home sale. Learn what to disclose, why it matters at closing, and how as-built drawings and a permit can fix it.

What to photograph, keep and record after a storm or flood so your Toronto insurance claim moves faster, plus how measured drawings support the rebuild.

Listing square footage often comes from old plans, public records, or estimates. Here's why the numbers differ, what it costs sellers and agents, and how accurate floor plans help a listing sell.

Sloped floors, walls that aren't square, beams hiding behind bulkheads, and additions nobody drew. The surprises that turn up when you measure older Toronto-area homes.

Accurate as-built drawings help interior designers avoid costly surprises on site. Learn how measured existing-condition plans improve layouts, millwork fit, and furniture planning.

A permit can be approved on paper, built slightly differently on site, and still look finished from the street. The problem starts when the city asks, “What was actually built?” That is where as-built drawings come in. They show the building, addition, deck, basement, garage, or site condition as it exists now, not as it was originally proposed. When a municipality or Committee of Adjustment requests them, it usually means the reviewer needs a clear record before they can clo

Today our team scanned an existing home on site and turned it into a precise 3D point cloud, the starting point for accurate as-built drawings.

At Casabuilt, we measure homes and use 3D scanning to document visible spaces and prepare as-built drawings. Here’s what you can expect before, during and after a measurement appointment. Before the appointment When you book, let us know what you need measured and how you plan to use the drawings. For example, you may need fl
