Project
Overview
DCMS conducted a comprehensive as-built exterior elevation survey for Douglas Hospital, a key healthcare institution in Quebec.
This heritage restoration project, commissioned by the Government of Quebec and GR7 Architecture, required high-accuracy documentation of over 85 building elevations to guide the restoration process while preserving the architectural integrity of the hospital’s historic facades.
Deliverables
-
85+ Detailed Exterior Elevations – Ensuring accurate documentation of the hospital’s facade and structural details.
-
High-Density LiDAR Point Cloud Data – Providing an exact digital replica of the building’s exteriors. Georeferenced Orthophotos & Drone Roof Plans – Supporting compliance and facade material selection. Thermographic Analysis of Facades & Roofs – Assisting in energy efficiency planning and preservation efforts.
Our Role & Technology
We used terrestrial 3D laser scanning and drone photogrammetry to map the entire hospital’s exterior with millimeter precision. Our team delivered a full set of elevation drawings, orthophotos, and thermal reports to support design and conservation decisions.
-
Tools Used: Leica RTC360, DJI Phantom 4 RTK, Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, FLIR Thermal Camera
Key Challenges
& Solutions
-
Multiple historic elevations: We delivered over 85 high-accuracy elevation drawings using LiDAR and drone data.
Material condition analysis: Thermographic imaging identified weak points for targeted restoration. -
Preservation standards: All outputs complied with provincial heritage documentation guidelines.
