LiDAR 3D LASER SCANNING SERVICES
We are a dedicated team of engineers, architects , and field operators (AEC) specialized in highly accurate LiDAR 3D laser scanning technologies and services in Canada and The United States.
From Built Models to Reality Capture Surveys Projects
3D Laser Scanning Services With LiDAR
We are a team of highly specialized engineers, architects and field operators in United States and Canada producing highly accurate LiDAR 3D laser scanning data using technologies. We produce several key deliverables and services such as as-built virtual designs information (ie: CAD, DWG, DXF, Revit etc) and we provide straightforward, easy-to-use tools that focus on improving ROI and in turn reducing operational costs. We operated across Canada and United States and have offices and service operators in Toronto, New York City, Connecticut, Montreal, Manitoba, Waterloo and Florida. For all our areas of operations for scans see our areas we operate!
The iScano team has developed unique procedures and best practices when implementing 3D laser scanning data (point cloud data) in the architecture, construction and engineering space. We emphasis in as-built documentation, usable product deliverables (RCP for AutoCAD or Revit for example) and a multi-discipline approach when using our point cloud dataset. This includes working in the industrial sector, architectural sector and the construction sector. Check out our blog for more information about our latest laser scanning projects or how 3D laser scanning data can help you in your operations!

Our Services
We produce trillions of point cloud data with iSCANO by millimetrically addressing the needs of our customers, which translate to point clouds from the scan data. We turn this data into virtual 2D draft drawings, 3D BIM models, and on site information from the point clouds including a free service cloud viewer. Some of our services include:
Laser Scanning Services
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and point cloud capturing services.
CAD Drafting
Update CAD using As-Built
Construction & Architectural AutoCAD and Models
BIM and 3D Modeling
Point Cloud and Reverse Engineering

Construction and Civil Engineering
When working in infrastructure and civil engineering, the flow of consistent information is critical. As-built floor plans and documentation has never been as important as it is today, especially when implementing BIM workflows. The iScano team has worked in schools, hospitals, commerical spaces with office equipment, architect firms, and contractors helping them to leverage the point cloud data generated by reality capture technologies (such as LiDAR, 3D Laser Scanning and photogrammetry). When embedding digital twins and digital information in your workflow this translates to reduction of downtime, overall cost and minimizing errors.
Architecture
iScano has worked with several architectural company across North American. From scanning one of the oldest buildings in New York City to working with the City of Toronto, the iScano team is able to adapt its 3D laser scanning data into the clients workflow. Our top priority to enable our architectural clients to streamline the point cloud data and generate the high-quality deliverable for them to begin their work such as an as-built floorplan, a RCP, a revit/BIM model and so much more.
Industrial
Your industrial plant requires having up-to-date accurate 2D CAD. We are specialized in producing such documentation. We also produce fast 3D modeling in any format you require. By integrating point cloud in your operational workflow, debottlenecking is achieved rapidly.
Oil & Gas and Mining
Our customers include global AEC engineering integration companies in the oil & gas industry and water management facilities. By leveraging the rapid capturing from 3D scanning we are able to produce 3D modeling, updated CAD, and to create detailed pipe work for as-built design while maximizing productivity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cost of 3D scanning services in Vancouver?
Should you have a larger-scale project or one that requires the sort of custom modeling we do, expect to pay somewhere between $1,500 and $10,000. Having said that, project are usually based on a contextual basis.
Is it possible to use my phone to 3D scan?
Certain smartphones are equipped with LiDAR or depth sensors, but these tools do not have the level of precision and resolution required for use cases in construction or engineering.
Is it possible to pay another person to create a 3D model for me?
Of course. We have services through which you can submit what you need, and we'll produce a model for you. When we do that, we give a quote that reflects—not just the time it will take to bring your idea to life, but also the model itself.
