Okay so would it be possible to take a picture potentially from the floor of a 30'x30' room upward to approximately 9'-0" and get most everything within the room ceiling on the photo?
The only reason I am asking is because at work I've basically gotten the role of drawing drop ceiling acoustical tiles in CAD for an old building. If the picture is not distorted I can reference scale the picture up and basically draw over the image to match what is existing relatively easily.
I have got an EOS T2i with its stock 58mm lens. Is there is any fish eye lens on the market that might make this task easier or is what i am asking for like impossible?

medium format wide angles are super rectilinear. just sayin.

Make a composite image. Google Brenizier effect, except you'd want to be shooting as stopped down as possible (like f22) to get the most depth of field. Essentially you just take 100 photos with your 58mm lens from different horizontal and vertical positions and have photoshop composite them into one larger wide angle image.
Might take a couple tries to get right. Keep the camera exactly level, not tilted up or down. You can move the camera vertically and horizontally of course, but it needs to remain level otherwise you'll get distortion

So a basic wide angle lens should be capable of this?
My only concern is that from 9'-0" I wouldn't really be able to get everything on the camera I might get like 10 (2x2)tiles max or something.

what did i say.

So just lie on the floor of the room, take a bunch of 2x2 tile photos and make a composite of them in photoshop. It'll take ages and look dumb as fuck when you do it but it'll work

I am trying to avoid image stitching. I feel like if I'm using third party software to put this thing together its already taking too much time. I could just as easily draw the thing with a ruler and an 1/8" scaled drawing.
I'm trying to take a single shot from a worms eye view with a tripod mounted butt up against the floor. Is this possible or probably not?

Not from nine feet, no.

this is an automated action in photoshop to stitch your images together
do you want to do this the easy way or the hard way nigger

Just get a sony a7 and voigtlander 10mm, and don't use your own gear for work unless they've bought you an insurance policy AND are paying an equipment fee. Shutters don't last forever.
