Brought to you by Matterport

The architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry is undergoing a digital transformation, and Matterport is at the forefront of developing cutting-edge digital twin technology to advance the cause. This article explores how Matterport’s innovative platform is reshaping the AEC landscape with its latest Winter Release plug-ins and case studies—outlining a comprehensive solution that enhances site documentation, improves stakeholder collaboration and streamlines project workflows.

PRECISION AND EFFICIENCY IN AS-BUILT DOCUMENTATION
Matterport’s 3D data platform revolutionises how the AEC professionals capture and document as-built conditions. Using advanced 3D capture technology, it provides highly accurate and detailed digital twins, significantly reducing the costs and time associated with traditional documentation methods.

• Cost and Time Savings: Capable of reducing the costs of building information modelling (BIM) adoption by over 70 per cent and decreasing travel and site visits by 50 per cent, thus expediting project initiation timelines.
• Real-time Updates: Weekly scans keep the stakeholders informed about site progress, fostering trust and transparency throughout the project life cycle.

ENHANCING CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS AND REMOTE MONITORING
Matterport’s platform facilitates real-time monitoring and documentation of construction progress, ensuring all stakeholders are kept up-to-date.

• Remote Access and Monitoring: Verify site conditions and monitor health, safety and welfare compliance remotely, minimising the need for frequent physical site visits.
• Comprehensive Documentation: Capture detailed visual records of construction progress, which can then be shared and reviewed anytime, anywhere.
