01 / The evidence behind a location
See how the evidence reads ↗Understand the site.
Follow the evidence.
Explore a location or draw a site boundary. Atlas brings together power, water, fibre and property data with the source behind each finding. For a deeper review, a commissioned Driftwood review can include authorized private and paid data sources, where available.
02
Land & buildability
Mapped parcels, local zoning, terrain, buildings, agricultural land and protected-area intersections.
Screened land is not a confirmed buildable area.
03
Water & underground
Published water, sewer, stormwater and conduit networks, plus water licences, monitoring and cooling assumptions.
Coverage varies. Maps do not establish capacity or locate utilities for excavation.
04
Fibre & connectivity
Published broadband coverage and infrastructure context, compared with your bandwidth and route requirements.
Carrier service, pricing and physically diverse routes need confirmation.
OPEN DATA SOURCEISED National Broadband Data ↗
05
Climate & site risk
Published flood and wildfire context, terrain, hydrometric observations and engineering-weather scenarios.
Dates and spatial coverage stay attached to the evidence.
06
Property context
Open municipal assessment records in Vancouver, Surrey and Victoria, with published industrial-land and listing context where supported.
Assessed values are not market appraisals. Province-wide assessment and listing feeds are not connected.
02 / Match the evidence to the project

ONE SITE / SCOPED DRIFTWOOD ENGAGEMENT
Go beyond
the public map.
Site Feasibility & Concept Design brings a person into your site decision. Combine the public screen with authorized private and paid data sources, where available, in a human-reviewed report, then use 25 additional hours of Driftwood design consultation to develop concepts and next steps.
$7,500 CAD / one site
Discuss your site Project evidence. Human judgement. A next step.
See the proposed scope, milestones and 25-hour working plan ↗
- 01Bring private and licensed data into the picture
Review authorized private and paid data sources, where available, alongside the public screen, including licensed property or utility data and authorized utility or carrier responses where permitted. Check the source, date, site and project scope of each material record.
- 02Understand what the evidence supports
Reconcile public evidence with the authorized private and paid data sources used in the commissioned review. Document what is confirmed, by whom and on what conditions, along with contradictions, assumptions and unresolved questions.
- 03Turn the review into concepts and next steps
Use 25 consultation hours, additional to report preparation, to explore early options, service requirements and a design brief with Driftwood. Carry open questions into a practical enquiry plan.
What the review establishes: a human review of the available evidence and its limitations. Utility capacity, connection dates, development approvals and engineering feasibility still require the relevant authorities and specialists.
Before work begins, we agree scope, record availability, permissions and any third-party fees, along with applicable taxes and terms. The free automated screen uses public data; private evidence review belongs to this separate paid engagement. No payment is taken here.

Sites, not credits. Reopening the same counted site or changing its profile uses no additional site within the allowance period. Explicitly changing a footprint may create a new site. Failed essential checks do not consume a site. Read the usage and access details ↗

Know what
you’re looking at.
Can I explore without creating an account?
Yes. Open Atlas and preview 3 successful site screens in a rolling 30-day period. The rolling period does not reset each day. Create a free account for automated reports and 10 successful new sites per UTC calendar month. All three profiles are available for each screened site. Failed essential evidence checks do not consume your allowance.
Does Atlas confirm that power is available?
No. Atlas organizes public evidence around a project-specific enquiry. Mapped infrastructure, voltage and proximity do not establish spare MW, connection rights, an energization date or a probability of approval. The utility must assess the project.
Are the sources live and complete for every property?
Atlas connects public services, published datasets and dated reference records. Automatic refreshes follow different schedules, and publisher failures or missing coverage remain visible. A field definition is not a populated measurement at every location. Municipal utilities, zoning and property coverage vary across BC.
How does the private evidence review work?
The free automated screen uses public data. In the separate paid engagement, Driftwood can review authorized private and paid data sources, where available, reconcile them with the public screen, and document what they establish for your site and scope.
We agree record availability, permissions and any third-party fees before work begins. The engagement does not include automatic access to ICI Society, province-wide BC Assessment or Spacelist feeds, and does not guarantee that a particular record can be obtained. Client-confidential material is never shared between engagements.
What is included in Site Feasibility & Concept Design?
The separate $7,500 CAD engagement includes a human-reviewed site report using public evidence and authorized private and paid data sources, where available, an enquiry plan and 25 hours of Driftwood design consultation for concept options and a design brief. Those 25 hours are additional to report preparation. Scope, record availability, permissions, any third-party fees, taxes and terms are agreed before work begins. The review does not guarantee a connection, approval or engineering feasibility.
