LiDAR Scanning & BIM in the West Island of Montréal
Corporate parks, GMP-regulated pharma space and distribution facilities — scanned to engineering-grade tolerance without the West Island commute.
The West Island quietly hosts one of Canada's densest clusters of pharma, medical device and technology facilities — Merck, GSK-adjacent suppliers, and dozens of GMP-regulated manufacturing spaces along Autoroute 40. Every one of them lives under change-control documentation requirements that demand accurate as-builts before any facility change.
DCMS runs LiDAR and BIM programs across the West Island every month. Our crews mobilize from Saint-Henri, take Autoroute 20 west, and arrive on-site in 25 minutes. For GMP clients we deliver under formal change-control documentation packages — signed, timestamped and auditable.
For non-regulated West Island clients — corporate campuses, warehouses and Fairview-adjacent retail — the workflow is the same, minus the GMP paperwork: point cloud in 72 hours, coordinated deliverables in two weeks.
Pharma and GMP-grade as-built documentation
GMP change control requires that any facility modification start from a documented baseline. LiDAR gives you that baseline in a way tape measurements never can — dimensionally correct, timestamped, and defensible in a Health Canada or FDA audit.
Our crews follow gowning and access protocols for controlled and classified spaces, and we deliver point clouds, drawings and models packaged for direct inclusion in change-control records.
- Gowning and cleanroom-compliant field workflows
- Timestamped, hash-verified point cloud deliverables
- As-built package formats aligned to major pharma quality systems
- Support for equipment relocation, HVAC re-balance and utility routing studies
Services we run most often in the West Island
- Pharma and biotech facility as-built and change-control support
- Corporate campus and R&D building surveys
- Warehouse and light industrial as-built
- Airport-perimeter facility documentation (with NAV CANADA coordination)
- Fairview-area retail and mixed-use as-built
- Utility and site topographic surveys for campus expansions
Trudeau airspace and site-security realities
Anything within a few kilometres of Trudeau International is inside controlled airspace. Our Transport Canada Advanced Operations pilots handle NAV CANADA coordination on drone flights, and for airport-perimeter properties we default to terrestrial LiDAR with mast-mounted cameras.
Corporate campuses across Kirkland and Pointe-Claire typically require background checks, badge access and security escorts — all standard workflow for our crews.
What West Island clients tell us matters
GMP-aware documentation
Our deliverables slot directly into pharma change-control packages without rework.
Airport-adjacent airspace handled
Transport Canada Advanced pilots + in-house NAV CANADA coordination.
Same-day site walks
West Island is a 25-minute drive — walkthroughs happen same-day when needed.
Corporate security protocols
Background checks, escorted access and NDAs are standard workflow.

Local questions from West Island
Do you handle GMP-regulated pharmaceutical facilities in the West Island?+
Yes. Our crews follow gowning and access protocols for controlled spaces, and deliverables are packaged for direct inclusion in change-control records.
Can you fly drones near Trudeau International Airport?+
Yes, with Transport Canada Advanced Operations pilots and NAV CANADA coordination. For sensitive perimeter properties we default to terrestrial LiDAR.
How fast can you mobilize to a Pointe-Claire or Kirkland site?+
Same-day for site walks, 3–5 business days for scheduled scans, next-day for construction-issue emergency capture.
Do you handle corporate-campus security requirements?+
Yes. Background checks, badge access, NDA execution and escorted workflows are standard for our field teams.
Can you scan an active warehouse without stopping operations?+
Yes. Overnight and off-peak scanning windows keep operations running while we capture.
What deliverables do you provide for pharma clients?+
Timestamped, hash-verified point clouds, as-built AutoCAD, LOD 300 Revit models, and change-control-ready package documentation.
Do you scan the Baie-d'Urfé industrial zone?+
Yes. Frequent site there — logistics, light manufacturing and R&D facilities.
Do you carry the insurance corporate West Island clients require?+
Yes. $5M CGL, professional errors and omissions coverage, and additional-insured endorsements on request.
