Solutions for Construction, Engineering & Visual Effects Involving High-Precision Laser Scanning
iScano focuses on providing fast, reliable solutions for not just one, but several niche markets, including architecture, construction, heritage structures, and film and media production. So if you’re in any of these industries and you’re looking for accurate as-built documentation or for 3D assets for visual effects, contact iScano today!
The most current 3D lasers and photogrammetry systems are used to capture real-world spaces and objects, converting them into digital models. These models are actionable from an efficiency standpoint and reduce delays in design and coordination. They also are of long-term value for that same reason.
What Our 3D Scanning Services Include
We provide scanning services that cater to every industry and environment. Clients from construction, engineering, and the creative realm rely on us to help them work smarter, not harder, with dependable, ultra-detailed scan data. Whether we are producing a detailed scan of a tiny, enclosed space or using terrestrial laser scanning to assemble a point cloud of a whole outdoor space, we have the equipment, expertise, and environments in which to do so.
Industries We Serve Across Vancouver & British Columbia
Construction & Engineering
Verifying as-built conditions against design intent in 3D can provide much-needed assurance of quality and accuracy. Using 3D scanning to check such things as whether or not two piping systems are going to clash in a given space can save untold amounts of time, frustration, and money. Coordination is the key, and 3D scanning can assist in that regard.
Visual Effects and Digital Media
Our scanning services are for film props, sets, and subjects. We provide assets that are ready for animation, simulation, or rendering. Our work supports the VFX pipeline for feature films and episodic TV in Vancouver’s vibrant media scene.
Structures and Architecture of Heritage
Using non-invasive 3D capture technology, we preserve historical landmarks, museums, and churches. As built documentation and digital archives are what we help produce for adaptive reuse and restoration.

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.
