Infrastructure, whether public, private, or corporate, requires more than documentation. Owners, operators, and project leaders need reliable data, tailored accuracy, and deliverables that integrate directly into existing workflows. Global Design Solutions provides the scanning, modeling, and Digital Twin services that help organizations plan, modernize, and optimize their most critical assets.
We consult, plan, align, collect, manage, process, and deliver data in the formats and platforms that matter most to our clients. Each project follows a clear, proven process to reduce risk, ensure quality, and support both immediate decisions and long term asset strategies.
Consult – Discovery sessions to define project goals, accuracy requirements, and deliverables.
Plan – The scope, data collection strategy, and integration approach are mapped out.
Align – Reference systems and survey controls are established to tie data into client baselines.
Data Collect – Assets are captured with 3D laser scanning, photogrammetry, and survey grade methods.
Manage – Large datasets are organized, validated, and structured for clarity and long term use.
Process – Data is transformed into CAD, BIM, GIS, and VR/AR ready deliverables.
Deliver – Outputs are provided in the formats and platforms requested by the client, with QA/QC checks.
Support – GDS provides ongoing assistance for integration, updates, and future expansion.
