Why Measured Documentation Matters in Vancouver
Vancouver's built environment includes a significant volume of heritage buildings, high-density urban renovation, and commercial tenant improvement work where reliable existing-condition data matters. Getting measured documentation before design or construction begins can help teams reduce coordination risk on difficult buildings across the Lower Mainland.
Services Available in Vancouver
All six services are available for Vancouver and the Lower Mainland projects. Each engagement is scoped to a confirmed deliverable.
3D Laser Scanning
Point cloud capture for interior and exterior spaces. Registered scan data for coordination, as-built documentation, or BIM workflows.
As-Built Drawings
2D floor plans, sections, and elevations drafted from scan data. DWG and PDF deliverables for renovation, TI, and design.
Scan to BIM
Revit models and IFC files from point cloud data. LOD and discipline scope confirmed before the engagement starts.
3D Virtual Tours
Hosted, browser-viewable tours for remote review, leasing, facility documentation, and stakeholder access.
CAD Drafting
2D CAD drawings in DWG and PDF, drafted from scan or survey data. Available as a standalone service.
Drone Services
Aerial site documentation, roof imagery, orthomosaic data, and exterior site context capture.
Common Project Types in Vancouver
The types of projects most commonly supported in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.
Heritage-Sensitive Building Documentation
Vancouver and the Lower Mainland include a significant number of older and heritage-designated buildings where irregular geometry and older construction methods benefit from laser scanning before design, renovation, or intervention begins.
Commercial Tenant Improvements
Tenant improvement and leasehold buildout projects across Vancouver's commercial market where confirmed as-built layouts and ceiling heights are needed before design or construction begins.
Dense Urban Renovations
Renovation work in Vancouver's dense urban areas where existing floor plates, structural elements, and MEP conditions need to be clearly documented before design teams commit to a scope.
Lower Mainland Construction Coordination
Pre-construction and design-coordination documentation across the Lower Mainland where confirmed existing conditions reduce risk during design and construction execution.
Existing-Condition As-Builts
Existing-condition documentation for commercial, institutional, and residential properties across the Lower Mainland where reliable records support capital planning, sale, or lease review.
Facility and Asset Documentation
Industrial, institutional, and commercial facilities in Vancouver and surrounding municipalities where dimensioned floor plans, CAD, or BIM deliverables support facility management or renovation planning.
Typical Deliverables for Vancouver Projects
File formats and scope are confirmed before the engagement starts. Common outputs for Vancouver and the Lower Mainland projects are listed below.
| Format | Use |
|---|---|
| E57 / LAS / LAZ / RCP | Registered point cloud files for use in Revit, AutoCAD, heritage documentation, or BIM coordination. |

Requesting a Quote for a Vancouver Project
Vancouver heritage buildings and high-density renovation sites often have access constraints, heritage-sensitive conditions, and multi-stakeholder coordination requirements. Including these details in your quote request helps scope the work accurately.
What to send before requesting a quote
- Site address or Lower Mainland neighbourhood
- Service needed (scanning, drawings, BIM, virtual tour, CAD, or drone)
- Project type (heritage, commercial renovation, TI, facility, residential)
- Areas to scan or document (floor count, zones, or approximate square footage)
- Required deliverables (DWG, PDF, RVT, IFC, E57, tour link)
- Existing drawings or CAD files if available
- Heritage status or building management contacts if applicable
- Access constraints and project timeline
On-Site Measurements serves projects across the Lower Mainland, including Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, and Coquitlam. Send your site location and we will confirm access, scope, and travel requirements.
Yes. Heritage-sensitive buildings are one of the more common Vancouver project types we support. Laser scanning is well-suited to buildings with irregular geometry, older construction, or conditions where physical measurement is difficult or disruptive. Deliverables can include point cloud files, as-built drawings, or a Revit model depending on your scope.
Common deliverables include registered point cloud files (E57, RCP, LAS/LAZ), 2D as-built drawings (DWG, PDF), and Revit models for Scan to BIM. The right format depends on what your design team or contractor needs.
Yes. 3D virtual tours are available as a hosted, browser-viewable link. They are useful for leasing, facility documentation, remote review, and pre-construction walkthroughs. Tours can be delivered alongside or separately from scanning and drawing deliverables.
Include the site address or neighbourhood, areas to be scanned or documented, the deliverables you need, any existing drawings or CAD files, access restrictions, heritage or building management contacts, and your project timeline.
Yes. Laser scanning is particularly useful when physical access is limited, site geometry is irregular, or conventional measurement methods would be slow or disruptive. Include any access constraints in your quote request so they can be scoped correctly.
