HoLDS Survey

HoLDS Survey · Existing conditions

Your as-built survey.
Ready for design.

HoLDS Survey documents the existing building with measured as-built drawings and a 3D walkthrough your team can revisit from anywhere.

One professional capture brings the measurements and visual context together, so you can move into design with a clearer picture of what is there.

Give your team its time back.

Let us capture and document the existing space while your designers focus on layouts, options, and the work your client hired you for.

Revisit the site from your desk.

Take measurements, check a room, and revisit visible details from your desk using the 3D walkthrough. Share the same reference with your team and resolve more questions without another site visit.

Start from the same information.

Give the designer, contractor, owner, and trades a shared visual reference alongside the measured drawings. Less back-and-forth. Clearer decisions.

Your existing-condition survey

Draw from it.
Walk through it.

Plans tell you where things are. A visual record helps you understand the space. HoLDS Survey gives your project team both.

Measured drawing package

A starting point for real design work.

Dimensioned floor plans and editable CAD/DWG files document the visible existing layout. Bring the record into your design workflow instead of rebuilding it from scattered measurements and photos.

Residential area reporting is defined in your agreed scope. Tell us if your project requires Alberta’s Residential Measurement Standard (RMS) or ANSI Z765-2021 reporting so we can confirm the appropriate standard and deliverables in your quote.

The site stays within reach.

Move through the captured rooms in your browser, take measurements from your desk, and check visible finishes and conditions. Share the same reference with your team when a drawing alone does not answer the question.

Working in Revit or 3D CAD?

Add an editable 3D model to your Survey quote. We confirm the file format, modelled elements, level of detail, and delivery date with your team.

Include a model

Sample imagery. The included walkthrough and optional editable model are separate deliverables.

Plans & drawing options

Document the details your design needs.

Choose roof plans, reflected ceiling plans, site plans, exterior elevations, or an editable 3D model to suit your project. Site plans and exterior elevations are already included in the complete residential Survey package; additional outputs are quoted to scope.

Optional Systems Tagging · +$145

Know what’s installed, and where.

Add tags to major systems and equipment inside your walkthrough. Locate the furnace, water heater, electrical panel, and other equipment, with make, model, and serial details recorded where accessible. Give designers and trades a useful reference for planning, maintenance, and replacement.

Where an existing-condition survey helps

Old plans missing?
Start with the space itself.

For renovations: establish the existing layout before you redesign a kitchen, rework a floor, or plan an addition. Give your designer a measured starting point and a visual record of the home.

For tenant improvements: document the unit before fit-out. Help your team assess the layout, coordinate remotely, and plan around visible existing conditions—even when the original drawings are out of date.

A few practical questions

Before your Survey.

How quickly can I get my Survey drawings?

Base walkthrough and floor-plan processing typically takes 24 hours once all required capture data is submitted. CAD/DWG drafting takes up to 2 additional business days after publication; exterior elevations, roof plans, reflected ceiling plans, and editable 3D models take longer. We confirm the delivery date for your selected outputs, including HoLDS review, with your quote.

Is the 3D walkthrough the same as a Revit model?

The included 3D walkthrough lets your team navigate the photographed space in a browser and use its measurement tools. An editable Revit or 3D DWG model is a separate deliverable. Tell us your software, required elements, and level of detail so we can include the right model in your quote.

Can you survey an occupied home or commercial unit?

We confirm access and site readiness with you before booking. The capture needs clear access to the spaces and visible features in scope. For tenant improvements, tell us about operating hours, tenant access, ceiling access, and any areas that must be excluded.

Are these permit drawings or a legal land survey?

HoLDS Survey provides measured existing-condition documentation to support your design team. Permit design, engineering, property boundary certification, and concealed-condition investigation are separate services. Your project team should verify critical construction and fabrication dimensions on site.
