What teams say about working with GDS
Frequently asked questions
What does a turnkey project with GDS include in Tyler
Capture, modeling, digital twins, and VR and AR training handled in-house, plus coordinated fabrication, installation, and software integration with trusted partners - all managed as one workflow with a single point of contact and one scope, schedule, and quote.
What does turnkey mean here
It means we own the full project end to end so you don't coordinate separate vendors. We handle capture, modeling, digital twins, and training in-house, coordinate fabrication, installation, and software integration with trusted partners, and hand you finished deliverables.
Can I start with just scanning and add modeling later
Yes. We can run the full turnkey scope or start with capture and scale into modeling and delivery as your project develops.
Who is my point of contact
One GDS project manager owns your job from kickoff through final delivery, so there is a single person accountable for the whole workflow.
Do you handle energy and industrial projects turnkey
Yes. Energy, petrochemical, and industrial work is a core focus in Tyler - we manage capture through modeling so engineering and procurement start from verified conditions, and we are NDA-friendly.
Which deliverables do I receive at the end
Registered point clouds, Revit or CAD models, as-builts, and neutral formats - packaged to the standards and software your team uses, confirmed during scoping.
How fast can a turnkey project move
For qualifying scopes, rush phases are available in roughly 24 to 72 hours depending on scope and resource availability. Full project timing is confirmed in your written quote.
Will you sign an NDA
Yes. We are NDA-friendly and sign mutual confidentiality agreements for energy, petrochemical, industrial, and manufacturing projects, so sensitive data stays protected.
How is a turnkey project different from hiring services separately
You get one team, one workflow, and one point of accountability instead of coordinating a scanning vendor and a modeling vendor and bridging the gap yourself.
Which services make up a turnkey project
It can combine 3D laser scanning, 3D modeling and reverse engineering, digital twin creation, and VR and AR training that we deliver in-house, plus coordinated fabrication, installation, IoT and automation, and software integration, in Tyler under one managed workflow.
