About Kanna
Built on experience.
Powered by technology.
Kanna was founded on a simple observation: the people who scan buildings and the people who test their performance rarely talk to each other. We bring both disciplines together under one roof — led by someone who understands buildings from the inside out.
The Story
Why Kanna exists
After years working in architectural practice — designing buildings, coordinating construction, and wrestling with the gap between design intent and built reality — I kept running into the same problem. Clients needed accurate survey data, and they needed to know how their buildings actually performed. But they were hiring three different companies, getting three different reports, and none of them joined up.
Kanna brings it together. We capture the geometry with millimetre precision and measure the physics of how the building actually behaves. One team, one survey, one complete picture.
The name Kanna comes from Old Norse — meaning to measure, to explore, to survey. It felt right for a company built on understanding buildings through technology.

How We Work
Our values
Accuracy
We measure twice. Our data is only useful if it's right.
Clarity
No jargon for the sake of it. We explain what the data means, not just what it says.
Integration
Capture and performance together. Because buildings don't exist in silos, and neither should their surveys.
