FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our services.

Our FARO laser scanning technology achieves up to 1mm accuracy at the point of capture. Final accuracy of deliverables depends on specific project requirements and site conditions. We provide a full registration report with every scan package.
Most projects are completed within 2–5 business days after capture. Simple point cloud deliveries can be ready in 24–48 hours. Timelines vary based on project complexity, LOD requirements, and scope.
We deliver in multiple formats including RVT (Revit), DWG (AutoCAD), IFC (Building Information Model), E57 and LAS (Point Cloud), and custom formats as needed. All deliverables include supporting documentation.
Yes — we specialize in scanning existing structures of all types: buildings, bridges, factories, heritage sites, and more. Our equipment works indoors and outdoors, and we carry WHMIS and BCCSA site safety credentials.
Absolutely. We offer LOD 100–400 depending on your needs — from conceptual massing models through to detailed construction documentation with embedded parametric data.
We service the entire BC region and travel to project sites as needed. Travel costs and scheduling are discussed during the project planning phase. Remote BIM production is available for any location.
