What we do — and what we don't.

Zavia GIS provides preliminary desktop GIS screening and mapping based on publicly available data sources. Our work is intended to help clients identify potential mapped constraints and ask better questions earlier in the process.

For final decisions, clients should consult the appropriate licensed professionals — municipality, conservation authority, planner, engineer, surveyor, lawyer, or environmental consultant.
