3D documentation supports capital planning by giving every funding decision traceable, measurable evidence — so condition findings, replacement-cost estimates, and prioritization all tie back to what was actually documented on-site. A capital plan is a set of...

How Do You Get Reliable Space Utilization Data Across Buildings?
You get reliable space utilization data across buildings by starting from an accurate, consistent record of what each space actually is — its true dimensions, layout, and current configuration — captured the same way at every site. Utilization numbers built on...
What Should a Facility Condition Assessment Capture?
A facility condition assessment (FCA) should capture the condition of every major building system — structure, roof, envelope, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing — along with measurable, visual evidence tied to specific locations. The assessment is only as useful as...
What Should Facility Handover Documentation Include?
Facility handover documentation should include an accurate as-built record of the space as actually built, the systems and equipment installed, and a navigable visual reference the operations team can use day one — not just a stack of paper the facilities team has to...
Nationwide Pre-Loss Surveys: How to Run Them Across Your Portfolio
Nationwide pre-loss surveys work when they are run as a coordinated program, not a series of one-off scans — one standard, one schedule, one point of contact, and QC on every deliverable across every location. The capture itself is the easy part — the hard part is...
Matterport vs. Photos for Claims Documentation: What’s the Difference?
Matterport vs. photos for claims makes the difference in measurability and capture completeness. Photos show whatever someone pointed the camera at, at one moment, with no scale. A Matterport capture records the entire space to scale, with embedded measurements, a...
Replacement Cost Documentation That Underwriters Reward
Replacement cost documentation starts with recording the actual building — its dimensions, construction type, finishes, and systems — with measured data rather than estimates, then keeping that record current. A Matterport 3D capture gives you to-scale measurements...
What Makes a 3D Property Scan Defensible in an Insurance Claim?
A 3D property scan defensible in an insurance claim shares four qualities: it is dated, unaltered, complete, and traceable. Matterport captures are timestamped and geotagged, which makes them difficult to manipulate after the fact — and that is the quality adjusters,...
What Is Pre-Loss Property Documentation, and Why Do Underwriters Want It?
Pre-loss property documentation is a dated, detailed record of a building's condition captured before any loss occurs. It pairs measured visual data — often a Matterport 3D scan with embedded LiDAR measurements — with replacement-cost and asset detail, so an owner can...
Matterport Accuracy for As-Builts: What’s Enough?
Matterport accuracy of the Pro3 captures at ±20 mm (±0.8 in) at 10 m (33 ft). That accuracy is sufficient for LOD 200 BIM, LOD 300 architectural work, real estate documentation, and most facility management uses. For survey-grade structural monitoring or...
