PRE-CONSTRUCTION SURVEYS
& GEOTECHNICAL MONITORING
The smartest way to prevent costly failures starts with accurate monitoring and reliable movement data. At Lil Mount, we provide proof-grade documentation and real-time geotechnical instrumentation data to protect against costly failures. From excavation and piling to high-rise development, our systems detect millimeter-level movements—ground settlement, vibrations, and structural deformations—before they become major problems. With annotated reports, complete data sets, dashboards, and instant alerts, we keep your projects stable, compliant, and on schedule.
Your Local Monitoring Experts
Headquartered in Vancouver, Lil Mount is the trusted partner for safeguarding construction projects with advanced geotechnical instrumentation monitoring. We help prevent six– and even seven–figure construction failures by ensuring structural stability from day one. In today’s fast-paced construction industry, real-time data is critical for making informed decisions. Our monitoring systems detect ground movement, settlement, and structural deformations with millimeter precision. Engineers and contractors rely on us for early anomaly detection, actionable insights, and the confidence to keep every project safe, efficient, and on schedule.

Our recent Surveying & Monitoring projects
Building Settlement Monitoring for Engineers
Contractor: EXP
Site: New Westminster, BC
Date: July, 2023
Settlement monitoring program on an existing building in New Westminster. Sensors and precise survey methods were used to measure vertical movement over time, providing engineers with clear data to assess building performance, safeguard structural integrity, and support informed decision-making throughout the monitoring period.
Pre & Post Construction Survey in Penticton, BC
Contractor: Stretch Construction
Site: Penticton, BC
Date: September, 2024
Photographic condition surveys for a project site in Penticton, BC. High-resolution images documented the state of nearby properties before construction began and again after completion, creating a clear record of existing conditions and ensuring accountability for any potential changes or damages.
Pre-Construction Condition Survey in Vancouver, BC
Contractor: Ledingham McAllister
Site: Vancouver, BC
Date: March, 2025
Detailed photographic pre-construction condition survey in Vancouver, BC. The work included documenting an adjacent mixed-use building as well as all nearby buildings and infrastructure within the project’s zone of influence. This detailed baseline record provided clear evidence of existing conditions, helping safeguard the developer and stakeholders throughout the construction process.
