As Managing Partner and Co-Founder of Sky Sight Inc., Dan Chaudhry leads the firm's operations and multidisciplinary project delivery while remaining actively involved in the design and technical development of projects across the practice. He contributes to the concept, design development, coordination, and documentation of residential, commercial, mixed-use, and light-industrial projects, including custom homes, additions and renovations, commercial fit-outs, and new mixed-use developments. Dan works closely with clients throughout the project lifecycle and coordinates internal design staff, engineering and specialty consultants, contractors, and other project stakeholders.
Dan has extensive experience navigating municipal development and approvals processes. His work includes Committee of Adjustment applications and presentations, Site Plan Approval submissions and coordination, building permit processes, and direct communication with municipal planning and building staff. He approaches projects by considering design intent alongside Ontario Building Code requirements, zoning, site constraints, consultant requirements, constructability, and the technical information required to advance a project from concept through approvals and construction.
In addition to building design and project leadership, Dan has significant expertise in geomatics, reality capture, and aerial data acquisition. He works with terrestrial and aerial LiDAR, GNSS, RPAS mapping, photogrammetry, point clouds, and spatial data to support building measurement, existing-condition documentation, topographic data collection, mapping, design development, and multidisciplinary coordination. His experience includes operating advanced RPAS systems in complex environments and integrating aerial, terrestrial, and geospatial datasets into practical design and documentation workflows.
Dan holds a Bachelor of Environmental Studies (Honours) and a Diploma of Excellence in Geographic Information Systems from the University of Waterloo. He is a Transport Canada Advanced RPAS Pilot and Flight Reviewer and holds a Commercial Pilot Licence, Group 1 Instrument Rating, and Flight Instructor Rating. His previous experience also includes research and instructional work with the University of Waterloo and the Waterloo Institute for Sustainable Aeronautics, as well as the application of GIS and advanced spatial-analysis techniques to environmental and geospatial projects.
