Betlen Geospatial delivers expert GIS and spatial analysis for construction, engineering, land use planning, and environmental projects across Canada. Senior-level spatial expertise — available remotely or on-site, without the overhead of an in-house team.
Project Management Professional certification — deliverables scoped, scheduled, and executed with discipline.
Masters in Spatial Data Science (Penn State, in progress) and a Graduate Diploma in GIS — rigorous academic grounding in spatial methods.
Based in Vancouver with the ability to serve clients remotely or on-site across Canada — from municipal governments to private engineering firms.
You work directly with the specialist — no account managers, no junior handoffs, no overhead passed on to you.
Geospatial services tailored to problems that don't always have a clear solution. Whether it's a one-off map, a data audit, or a full spatial analysis pipeline — we bridge the gap between raw data and real-world decisions.
Review and validate existing planning layers — zoning, OCPs, hazard maps, and more. Identify gaps and inconsistencies before they create costly problems downstream on your project.
Interactive, shareable web maps built for public engagement, internal planning, or collaborative project reviews. No GIS software required on your end to view or use them.
Standardize attributes, fix geometry errors, and convert legacy files into clean formats ready for analysis, regulatory display, or grant applications.
Deploy customized mobile forms to collect spatial data in the field from a phone or tablet. Ideal for infrastructure mapping, site inspections, and asset inventories.
Floodplain checks, DPA overlays, distance analyses, siting studies, and risk assessments — the rigorous spatial work that supports permits, reports, and engineering decisions.
Help communities and nonprofits meet funding criteria by producing the required maps, schema, and data summaries needed for grant readiness or program reporting.
Betlen Geospatial is a boutique GIS consulting practice based in Vancouver, BC, serving clients across Canada. We work with construction firms, engineers, planners, environmental consultants, and municipalities that need senior-level spatial expertise — without the overhead of a full in-house team.
Our background spans nuclear and civil infrastructure engineering, spatial data science, and land use policy analysis. That means we don't just produce maps — we understand the technical and regulatory context they operate in. From siting decisions on complex terrain to data audits for permit applications, we bring structured, disciplined thinking to every engagement.
As a certified Project Management Professional, we bring the same discipline to spatial work that engineers expect on a construction site — clear scope, defined milestones, and deliverables that land when you need them.
Betlen Geospatial supports mapping and spatial analysis needs that often fall between the cracks — the work that's too specialized for a generalist and too small for a large firm. Whether it's a one-time data fix, a planning map, or a full spatial analysis pipeline, if it touches spatial data, we can probably help. We serve clients remotely across Canada and on-site in BC.
