From the space on site
to the files on your desk.
Capture the layout and visible features of a building, then use the information to support design, coordination and ongoing management. Choose the deliverables that suit your brief — from a shareable walkthrough to data for your design team.
Digital twin
A navigable Matterport walkthrough gives your team a shared visual reference. Revisit spaces remotely, understand room relationships and discuss what is visible on site.
Browser-based walkthroughE57 point cloud
A structured collection of 3D points representing captured surfaces. Give your architect or modeller a spatial starting point for existing-condition drawings and models.
E57 scan dataCAD outputs
Discuss floor plans and other drawing requirements before capture. CAD conversion is scoped separately, with the format, coverage and drawing detail agreed for your project.
Drawings to an agreed briefScan-to-BIM
Use captured geometry as the basis for a building information model. BIM conversion, model detail and file formats are agreed separately to suit your design workflow.
RVT / IFC options by agreementE57 exports, CAD drawings and BIM models are separate deliverables, priced according to the brief. A point cloud is scan data; a CAD drawing or BIM model requires further interpretation and production.
A clearer starting point
for your next project.
Old drawings may be missing, incomplete or out of date. A fresh capture helps your team understand the building as it stands and creates a reference they can return to.
Discuss your building ↗- Renovation & extensions
Understand the existing layout before developing your proposals. - Commercial fit-outs
Share spatial context with designers, contractors and stakeholders. - Facilities & asset records
Create a visual reference for accessible spaces and visible assets. - Progress & handover
Document the condition of a space at agreed project stages.
Agree the brief.
Then capture with purpose.
Tell me what your team needs to achieve, which software they use and the tolerances they require. I’ll confirm whether Matterport capture is suitable and outline the deliverables before we book.
Matterport specifies Pro3 depth accuracy of ±20 mm at 10 m under test conditions. This is a single depth measurement specification, not a guaranteed tolerance for every dimension, drawing or completed model.
Read Matterport’s accuracy guidance ↗Define the output
Share the location, approximate size, access arrangements and purpose. We agree scan coverage, file formats and any drawing or modelling work.
Record the building
Accessible areas are captured with Matterport Pro3. Scan positions are planned around the layout, visibility and the agreed scope.
Put the data to work
Receive the agreed walkthrough and exports. Separately commissioned CAD or BIM outputs follow the specification and timescale set out in your quote.
What do you need
from your survey?
You don’t need to know every file format. Send over your brief — or your architect’s requirements — and we can work through the options together.
How accurate is Matterport Pro3 scanning?
The manufacturer specifies ±20 mm depth accuracy at 10 m under test conditions. Overall results also depend on the building, scan coverage, alignment and the output being produced. Critical dimensions should be checked independently. If your brief requires tighter tolerances or survey control, discuss that before booking so the appropriate capture method can be established.
What is a point cloud?
A point cloud is a collection of points positioned in three-dimensional space. Together they describe the visible surfaces recorded during scanning. It can be used as a reference for drawings and modelling, but it is not a finished CAD drawing or BIM model.
Can you supply CAD or BIM files?
Yes, CAD and BIM outputs can be included by agreement. The quote will specify the formats, areas covered, level of detail, production arrangements and delivery times. Please share your design team’s requirements before the scan.
Can you scan outside and capture hidden features?
Pro3 supports indoor and outdoor capture where conditions and access are suitable. Scanning records visible surfaces: it does not reveal concealed structure, buried services or features behind walls. Glass, mirrors, obstruction and difficult access can limit coverage.
Is this the same as a structural or land survey?
This service provides building capture and agreed digital outputs. Structural assessment, boundary determination, underground-service detection and setting-out are different services. Let me know your intended use so suitability and any additional survey requirements can be clarified.
How much does it cost?
Quotes depend on size, complexity, location, access and the deliverables required. Send the postcode, approximate floor area or number of rooms, your deadline and any specification. Capture, exports, drawing or modelling work and hosting terms will be set out in the quote.
Start with a brief.
I’ll help with the next step.
Tell me where the building is, what you need to understand and which outputs your team requires.
Useful details include approximate floor area, the number of floors, access restrictions, your deadline and any accuracy or file-format requirements.
