As-Built Plans
Project Overview
DCMS completed high-precision 3D documentation of Northern Secondary School, a two-story public school in Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, serving approximately 1,800 students. Known for its academic excellence and inclusive programs, the facility required a complete as-built survey to guide future renovations and campus optimization. The scope covered all interior spaces and exterior conditions to produce accurate data for planning, design coordination, and construction readiness.
Deliverables
High-Density Point Cloud Data
360° Virtual Walkthrough: Interactive Digital Twin
CAD As-Built Documentation: Site Plan, Floor Plans, RCPs, Roof Plan, Elevations
Aerial Orthophoto for Site Context and Topography
Our Role & Technology
DCMS used a hybrid capture approach combining terrestrial LiDAR scanning with aerial drone imagery to ensure comprehensive documentation.
Captured detailed interiors for layout development and spatial analysis
Mapped site context, access points, and landscape elements from above
Produced construction-ready documentation for design and engineering teams
Key Challenges & Solutions
Extensive Site Coverage: Integrated aerial and ground capture to accurately represent both building and landscape
Interior Precision: Full documentation of classrooms, public areas, and specialty spaces to support design updates
System Visibility: RCPs detailed structural beams, HVAC units, and emergency systems for technical planning

Director of Facilities and Capital Services at CSPNE
“DCMS delivered high-res imagery and 3D models in record time.”
“In 2024, DCMS scanned and droned over 100,000 sqft of school space and several acres of land in less than 24 hours, delivering high-resolution imagery, Matterport lidar scans, and Revit 3D models with 1st order accuracy. I highly recommend Alberto Palomino and his team at DCMS for all infrastructure and site scanning needs.”
