3D BIM model with dimensions generated from a laser scan of a two-storey building

Seismic, heritage, and growth all start with the existing building

Much of Vancouver’s older building stock needs work to meet current seismic expectations, from schools and institutional buildings to unreinforced masonry in Gastown and Chinatown. Engineers designing those upgrades need an accurate picture of the structure as it stands.

At the same time the region keeps densifying, with rental and condo towers, mass-timber projects, and industrial expansion around the port and the Fraser River. Each of those projects benefits from a precise record of existing conditions and of what has actually been built.

We scan once and deliver registered point clouds plus the Revit models, CAD backgrounds, and sections your structural and architectural teams need.

What we scan across Metro Vancouver

Seismic upgrade projects

Existing structure, openings, and floor-to-floor geometry captured as a base for your engineer’s retrofit design.

Heritage buildings

Gastown, Chinatown, and heritage houses recorded non-invasively for conservation and renovation.

Industrial and port facilities

Terminals, plants, and warehouses along the waterfront and the Fraser scanned for upgrades and tie-ins.

New construction

Progress scans compared with design models to verify slabs, cores, and mass-timber assemblies.

Point clouds and models from recent scans

How a project runs

Tell us about the building

Send the address, approximate square footage, and the deliverables you need. We reply with fixed pricing within 24 hours.

We capture on site

Our field team documents the full building in a single visit. Non-intrusive, no shutdown required.

Production and QA

Drawings are drafted from the registered point cloud and checked against it before release.

Delivery on schedule

Files arrive in DWG, RVT, IFC, and PDF, on a timeline committed in your quote.

Common questions in Vancouver

Do you work outside the City of Vancouver?
Yes. We cover Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, North Vancouver, and the rest of Metro Vancouver, and travel further in BC for larger projects.
Do you design seismic upgrades?
No. We provide accurate existing-conditions data and models so your structural engineer can design the upgrade.
Can you scan in the rain?
Interior scanning is unaffected by weather. For exteriors we plan capture around the forecast, since heavy rain can reduce data quality.
What file formats do you deliver?
Registered point clouds in E57, RCP, or LAS, plus Revit models, DWG drawings, and an online viewer link on request.
What does 3D scanning cost?
Pricing depends on the size of the site, the level of detail, and the deliverables. Send the address, approximate area, and what you need, and we reply with a fixed quote.
