Frequently asked questions

Which California cities do you cover most frequently?

We most frequently work in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento, and San Jose. However, our teams mobilize across the entire state including Fresno, Bakersfield, Riverside, and smaller markets.

Do you work on technology and aerospace projects in California?

Yes. Technology campus, semiconductor facility, and aerospace and defense work is a significant part of our California portfolio. We have experience working in cleanroom environments and around restricted-access facilities.

How quickly can you mobilize to a California 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 do you provide for California projects?

We deliver point clouds (RCP, E57, RCS), Revit BIM models, AutoCAD as-builts, STEP and IGES files for reverse engineering, and 3D PDFs. Deliverable format is agreed before fieldwork begins.

Do you sign NDAs for California projects?

Yes. We are NDA-friendly and regularly work under mutual confidentiality agreements for technology, aerospace, healthcare, and commercial clients across California.

Can you support multi-site projects across California?

Yes. We coordinate multi-site programs with consistent standards and a single point of contact. This is common for clients with distributed campuses, retail chains, or multi-facility industrial operations across the state.
