Why teams in Ohio choose GDS
Statewide field coverage
From Columbus to Cleveland and beyond, our teams mobilize across Ohio without requiring you to coordinate multiple vendors.
Industrial & facility experience
Ohio plants, facilities, and industrial operations require specialized capture and access-window scheduling protocols. We bring that experience to every project.
Industrial & manufacturing ready
Experience supporting manufacturing and industrial operations - facility documentation, legacy part recreation, and reverse engineering for demanding environments.
Data that travels well
Point clouds and models prepared for Revit, Navisworks, AutoCAD, and visualization tools - with clear layer naming and import notes.
Schedule you can defend
Field work planned around outages and access windows so your team can better explain how the schedule was built.
The GDS Guarantee
Every project is covered by the GDS Guarantee for our scanning and modeling deliverables.

Frequently asked questions
Which Ohio cities do you cover most frequently?
We most frequently work in Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Toledo, and Akron - plus mid-size cities and industrial project sites across the state. Select any city above to explore local services.
Does GDS handle reverse engineering work in Ohio?
Yes. Reverse engineering - legacy component recreation, design recovery, CAD reconstruction, and fabrication support - is a core part of our Ohio work, particularly for manufacturing, automotive, and industrial clients.
Do you work on industrial, manufacturing, and facility projects in Ohio?
Yes. Industrial, manufacturing, aerospace, and facility work is a major part of our Ohio portfolio. We have experience working around production, outage, and access-window schedules.
How quickly can you mobilize to a Ohio project site?
Standard mobilization is typically within 5 to 10 business days after scope confirmation. For urgent projects we can often accelerate. Call us to discuss your timeline.
What deliverables does GDS provide for Ohio projects?
Deliverables are tailored to each client's software environment and intended use - including point clouds, Revit BIM models, AutoCAD as-builts, STEP and IGES files, fabrication-ready geometry, and 3D PDFs. Format is confirmed before fieldwork begins.
Does GDS sign NDAs for Ohio projects?
Yes. We are NDA-friendly and sign mutual confidentiality agreements for industrial, manufacturing, aerospace, defense, and technology projects, so sensitive data stays protected.
Can GDS work nights, weekends, or during plant outages in Ohio?
Yes. GDS schedules fieldwork around planned outages, line changes, access windows, and restricted periods - common requirements at Ohio manufacturing and industrial facilities.
Can GDS support multi-site projects across Ohio?
Yes. GDS coordinates multi-site programs with consistent standards and a single point of contact - common for clients with distributed plants, pipelines, or multi-facility operations across Ohio.
