VANCOUVER, BC · STAIRS & RAILINGS · SCENE DOCUMENTATION
Millimetre-accurate measurement of stair geometry and railings, the dimensions a defect case is won or lost on.
STAIRS & RAILING DEFECTS
Few cases are as measurement-driven as stair and railing defects. They are decided in millimetres.
Inconsistent rise and run from one step to the next, a handrail set too low, a guard with gaps too wide. These defects are argued directly against published dimensional standards. The whole case can rest on a few millimetres, measured across an entire flight.
Visido captures every stair and railing dimension with high-accuracy 3D laser scanning, producing measured drawings your experts can compare directly to the applicable code, exact, complete, and independently verifiable.
Where a stair has since been rebuilt or replaced, camera matching can recover dimensions from earlier photographs of the original.
WHAT WE DOCUMENT
Every tread and riser measured across the full flight, so inconsistencies between steps, a leading contributor to stair falls, are documented, not sampled.
Handrail heights, guard heights, and baluster spacing captured as exact measurements, ready for direct comparison against code.
Tread depth, nosing projection, and landing dimensions measured to the millimetre, the details that decide slip and trip geometry.
A permanent, measured record of the stair exactly as it was, captured before any repair or replacement alters the evidence.
Why It Matters
When a case turns on whether a riser varied by more than the allowed tolerance, or a handrail sat below the required height, the measurement is the case.
Every figure we provide traces back to a point in a scan or a calibrated camera solution. That means the same measurement can be independently checked and verified, and gives both counsel and adjusters a reliable, objective reference.
WHO WE SERVE
Evidence reconstruction and measured spatial analysis prepared for court and tribunal proceedings.
Independent scene documentation and measurement extraction for liability assessment and claims.
Millimetre-accurate spatial data and independent verification that holds up to technical scrutiny.
FAQ
Few cases are as measurement-driven as stair and railing defects. Inconsistent rise and run, a handrail set too low, or a guard with gaps too wide are decided in millimetres against published dimensional standards. A 3D laser scan captures every dimension precisely across the whole flight.
Yes. We measure every tread and riser, so inconsistencies between steps, a leading contributor to stair falls, are documented across the full flight, not sampled from one or two steps.
Where a stair has been rebuilt, camera matching can recover dimensions from earlier photographs of the original stair. Where it still exists, we scan it directly to millimetre accuracy.
Our 3D laser scans are millimetre-accurate. Every dimension is drawn from the measured point cloud, not estimated, and can be compared directly to the applicable code.
Measured drawings, dimensioned 3D models, and clear technical reports. When a matter reaches court, we can provide expert reports and testimony to explain the spatial findings.
Both. We provide independent, verifiable spatial documentation grounded in measured data, whichever side retains us.
