Vancouver builds tight. Constrained urban sites, seismic requirements, mass timber, marine and port infrastructure, and a mature building stock that gets renovated rather than demolished. Precision matters more when there is no room for error and no room for staging.
3DS Technologies mobilizes to Vancouver and across British Columbia for scheduled project work.
What we scan in Vancouver and BC
Commercial and mixed use buildings. Mass timber structures and prefabricated assemblies. Port, marine and terminal infrastructure. Industrial facilities and processing plants. Institutional buildings and campuses. Seismic upgrade and retrofit projects.
Mass timber and prefabrication
Prefabricated construction is unforgiving. Components are cut to millimetres offsite and have to meet a structure that was built with normal site tolerances. Scanning the existing conditions and verifying installed work keeps the two worlds compatible.
Seismic retrofits
A seismic upgrade requires knowing exactly what the existing structure is, not what the original drawings claimed. Scanning gives structural engineers verified geometry for the connections and members they are designing against.
What you get back
Registered point clouds, 2D as-builts, Revit and BIM models, deviation analysis, digital twins and virtual walkthroughs.
Frequently asked questions
Do you travel to British Columbia?
Yes. We mobilize to Vancouver and BC for scheduled project work.
Can you support mass timber projects?
Yes. Scanning existing conditions and verifying installed work is how prefabricated components keep fitting.
Do you scan port and marine infrastructure?
Yes. Terminals, structures and marine facilities are within scope. Tell us the access situation and we plan for it.
Can scanning support a seismic upgrade?
Yes. Structural engineers get verified existing geometry rather than relying on original drawings.
How is a BC project quoted?
As a firm number including mobilization, so your project budget carries a fixed figure.
