Our Specialized Scanning Service Offerings
Topographic LiDAR for Construction and Architecture
Topographic LiDAR is a specialized application of LiDAR technology that focuses on capturing detailed information about the terrain and existing structures. This tool is indispensable for construction and architecture projects, offering accurate measurements and 3D models of the site, including elevation variations, contour lines, and relief details.
As-Built Documentation
We specialize in detailed as-built documentation with dimensional control, creating accurate CAD drawings and comprehensive point clouds of existing structures. This documentation helps stakeholders clearly understand the differences between original construction designs and final built conditions, crucial for future planning and modifications.
Scan to BIM
Our scan to BIM service accurately converts captured point cloud data into intelligent BIM models. These models are essential for precise planning, seamless construction coordination, efficient facility maintenance, and virtual design and construction.
What Sets iScano Apart in Calgary?
We take an approach that transcends mere scanning: we deliver results that bolster your bigger objectives. We accomplish this by fusing reality capture and intelligent modeling, helping you make informed decisions right from the start. We are proud to serve the fast-evolving construction world of Calgary and offer services that are quick, adaptable, and firmly in the realm of accuracy. Whether working on historic preservation or contemporary architecture, there isn’t an angle we can’t cover, nor is there any data we can’t capture and keep safe.

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.
