An Editorial Approach to Building Data
At the intersection of spatial planning, computational modeling, and Quebec municipal regulations, we treat the Building Information Model as a comprehensive virtual prototype, resolving site anomalies before demolition begins.
openBIM & ISO 19650
We believe in uncompromised data interoperability. Models are exported in certified open standards (IFC 4, BCF), ensuring seamless coordination between external licensed professionals (architects, engineers), quantity surveyors, and general contractors.
LiDAR Reality Capture
Montreal heritage structures possess zero truly plumb walls. We replace tape measurements with millions of 3D laser points (±2 mm), delivering an indisputable factual baseline for spatial layout.
AI-Assisted Code Audit
Computational rule algorithms cross-reference building models directly against Part 9 of the National Building Code of Canada, preempting borough plan revision requests.
Build twice: first digitally, then physically.
On traditional jobsites, MEP duct collisions and structural beam conflicts are discovered on the ladder. Every field change order creates weeks of delay and budget escalation.
By federating LOD 350 BIM models upfront, spatial clashes are eliminated in virtual space. Material takeoff quantities are verified, subcontractor scopes are unambiguous, and project timelines are protected.
KALIA BC Checker — AI-Assisted Automated Code Review
Taking preventative compliance a step further, our practice is engineering KALIA BC Checker: a multi-format SaaS platform (PDF, scans, IFC, DXF) that automatically benchmarks building project models against the Ontario Building Code (OBC 2024) and the National Building Code (NBC / CCQ).
