We plan and deliver community projects in British Columbia.

The city below is built from public records. We build the same for a community's project, so councils and regulators can see it before it is built.

Under the street

Kilometres of networks under downtown.

Water, sewer, power, street lighting and SkyTrain, as mapped by the City and OpenStreetMap. Move the lens to see what runs under each street.

Through time

1886

Today's buildings, by the year they were built.

Year built from the City's property tax report and parcels; buildings with no recorded year stay grey.

Live

The full model is live.

The full digital twin: every network at once, the real sun and weather, air quality, street trees and the building permits the City issues. Click any object to see its record.

How we work

Communities decide: Projects are planned with the community, and the community shapes its own development.
From start to finish: We develop the proposal, secure the funding, assemble the expert team and see the project through to completion.
Your data stays under your control: Nothing about your community or your projects is published without your approval.
