Matterport has become familiar to many in the construction industry. The technology it offers is invaluable for creating high-quality 3D interactive tours and comprehensive 2D floorplans that beautifully highlight finished projects and provide vital data. But did you know that Matterport captures can add great value before and during projects as well? While the Matterport app makes 3D imaging more accessible, there is a significant difference between a quick DIY scan and the precision, expertise, and polished results that come from working with a Matterport professional. Leveraging expert services ensures the highest quality imaging and the most effective use of the technology.
Join us as we dive into the benefits of implementing professional Matterport services at various points along your build timeline.
Pre-Construction Phase
What can Matterport do for you in the pre-construction phase?
-
- Accurate Site Documentation Whether you need to document existing site conditions or prepare for an epic renovation before and after comparison, accurate site documentation isn’t something you can go back in time to accomplish if you change your mind. Plan to have a Matterport capture done before ground is broken and give your future self the gift of accurate site documentation.
-
- Enhanced Collaboration There’s nothing like being on-site to facilitate clear communication and better decision making between contractors and stakeholders or clients, but a pre-construction Matterport is truly the next best thing. A 3D tour allows anyone to take a virtual, interactive walk around the build site no matter where they are in the world, and the 2D floorplan allows them to get into the nitty gritty data of the site.
-
- Streamlined Bidding Process When it comes to bidding out jobs to subcontractors, accuracy is of utmost importance. What better way to allow professionals to assess project scopes remotely than allowing them to get up close and personal with a 3D tour? Additionally, the 2D floorplan allows access to vital measurements and dimensions.
Construction Phase
What can Matterport do for you in the construction phase?
-
- Progress Monitoring and Quality Control We know how vital it is for contractors that projects stay on schedule and adhere to standards of quality. One or more mid-construction Matterport captures can help ensure that everything on your jobsite adheres to timelines and meets your expectations.
-
- Remote Site Access There are times when on-site visits are inconvenient, and then there are times when they’re downright impossible. Save stress, headaches, and project delays by eliminating barriers to site visits by means of a Matterport tour. You and your clients will have the ability to view the site in detail wherever and whenever they need to. Your sub-contractors will thank you for the reduced interruptions!
Post-Construction Phase
What can Matterport do for you in the post-construction phase?
-
- As-Built Documentation Having a Matterport capture of your completed project in the form of a 3D tour and a 2D floorplan can be an invaluable resource. Use it as a point of reference for maintenance or renovations for many years to come.
-
- Client Engagement and Marketing Maybe we’re biased, but the value of good marketing cannot be overstated. Potential clients being able to virtually walk around your finished project, visualizing what a partnership with your company could produce, will make an impact that no mockup or model could provide.
-
- Facility Management Detailed 3D models assist facility managers in being able to provide vital maintenance, efficient operational planning, and ultimately save time and money long term.
Enhance Your Projects with Matterport
More than just a tool for showcasing final products, Matterport adds value at every stage of the construction process. From accurate pre-construction site documentation all the way through to future maintenance, Matterport technology enhances efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration.
When every detail counts, a polished 3D capture and precise floorplan can mean the difference between assumptions and assurance. At Seapoint Digital, we help you capture the full story of your project—before, during, and after—so you can build smarter, communicate better, and present your work at its absolute best.
“Matterport brings clients into our projects like never before. Unlike static photos, clients are placed inside the project before, during, and after, giving them a true sense of what home remodel transformations can be. They’re free to explore every inch of the home and focus on what’s important to them. It’s easy to use and share with friends, their architect, or designer. As builders, we incorporate Matterport into our ‘as-built’ package. It allows us to verify information during our walkthroughs rather than sifting through hundreds of photos. Partnering with Seapoint Digital makes this simple. A phone call and it’s done!”
