Nothing’s Impossible for Our VDC Team, Bring It On!
November 15, 2023
Our VDC team has successfully wrapped up twelve weeks of Laser Scanning at a vast 1.2 million square foot facility on the East Coast! Alongside a dedicated labor force, we conducted a thorough above-ceiling survey to document and track complex building systems, setting the stage for a future retrofit. Over 7,000 scans later, the data and point cloud-verified BIM models will guide the design partners on the incredibly intricate project.
Equipment highlight! We utilized the Navvis VLX for the below-ceiling architectural scan and the cutting-edge Faro Focus Premium terrestrial laser scanner for the above ceiling survey.

Another Autism Speaks Chicago Walk Weekend in the books! As the largest autism fundraiser, our team members and their families walked three miles to raise awareness and funds for autism research, advocacy, and critical programs.
We’re humbled to support Autism Speaks and their dedication to improving the lives of people with autism and their families.
We’re humbled to partner with Tutoring Chicago as our 2023 Adopt-a-Charity beneficiary, to amplify their work and connect them with our network of potential volunteer tutors.
We recently had the pleasure to present $15,000 to Tutoring Chicago to aid their mission to pair individual students in grades 1-10 with a designated adult volunteer tutor. This regular, weekly instruction also provides these children a steady, supportive relationship. Our support will extend through the holiday season as we dedicate our annual team member giving drive to Tutoring Chicago’s holiday gift program.
