Path to Building Permit Approval
From 360° LiDAR scanning on day one to municipal building permit approval — every step is covered.
360° LiDAR Site Scan
Our technician captures thousands of laser measurements per second, creating a millimeter-accurate 3D digital twin of your existing space — far faster and more precise than traditional tape-measure methods.
As-Built Drafting & Revit Model
We import raw point cloud data into Revit to produce clean base building floor plans, interior elevations, structural drawings, and fully editable AutoCAD (DWG) files for your designer or contractor.
Renovation & TI Permit Design
Our design team overlays proposed layout modifications on the as-built base, checking BC Building Code compliance, fire separations, travel distances, and Step Code energy targets.
Municipal Permit Submission
We assemble the complete permit drawing package, handle city portal submission, and resolve municipal review comments until your building permit is approved.
Proven As-Built Track Record Across BC
We have helped homeowners and commercial tenants across BC capture accurate existing conditions, avoid permit rejections, and kick-start their renovation and TI projects on solid footing.
Why Accurate As-Builts Are Mandatory for BC Permits
Any major renovation, home addition, or commercial Tenant Improvement requires an accurate set of base drawings before you can apply for a building permit. Municipalities in Metro Vancouver and across BC will immediately reject a permit application if the existing conditions are assumed or inaccurate.
We use a 360° LiDAR Scanner — a tripod-mounted device that shoots thousands of laser pulses per second to capture every wall, door, window, column, and structural beam with millimeter accuracy. We then import this point cloud into Revit to produce fully layered AutoCAD floor plans, elevations, and sections — in PDF, DWG, or RVT format.
From scope definition to final file delivery, our 4-step process sets up your renovation or commercial TI permit application on a solid, undeniable foundation of data. We also provide downloadable sample deliverables — including a live 3D LiDAR walkthrough, a real estate PDF report, and a construction-style permit plan — so you know exactly what you will receive.
"Municipalities will reject permit applications the moment they detect assumed or inaccurate existing conditions. A 360° LiDAR scan eliminates that risk entirely."
