Doug’s Story

Imagine seeing someone’s vision through their eyes without interpretation.

This concept has driven my career path since the mid 90s. In early 2000, I had trained and integrated my first group of Cad support staff into the 3d world. This is pretty amazing when you think it was just last month I heard, “The jury is still out on whether designing in 3d is worth it”. Well, not only can I tell you that it is “worth it”, but I can also say a lot of advancement has happened over the last twenty years while the jury was debating. As a professional or the client, you can relate to the communication gap the exists between the imaginary 3d model living in one’s head to the highlighter marks of another.

Virtual Site was created in 2003 to help bridge this communication gap. Luckily, I had no idea how long it was going to take to bring it all together. Technology has now advanced to the point of gathering photo-realistic 3d models and developing real world land topography maps for design through the use of drone technology. This isn’t a future concept, this is today’s technology in use by professionals like myself and Michael, who you will soon meet. Our expertise allows Virtual Site to certify data through national standards instead of relying on manufacturers claims. We deliver data you can trust!
