Managing a large commercial building is complex. Relying on outdated paper floor plans slows down maintenance and travelling can take a lot of time. A Matterport digital twin solves this. It creates a millimetre-accurate 3D replica of your facility which is accessible from any browser – including mobile. This gives your maintenance team a visual, highly accurate way to quickly move around a building and see all areas without having to physically travel.

Here is how you could use this technology to manage your building more efficiently.

1. Create the Digital Baseline. First, we scan your entire facility using specialised 3D cameras. This captures the exact location of things like pipes, HVAC units, and electrical panels. The result is a highly accurate 3D model that your team accesses from anywhere using any web browser. You do not need specialist software to view it.

2. Tag Your Physical Assets. Once the 3D model is ready, we can attach digital information to physical objects. We use Mattertags to pin things like maintenance manuals, video tutorials, or service logs directly onto the equipment in the 3D space. When an engineer clicks on a boiler in the digital twin, they instantly see its entire service history and operating instructions. This saves hours of searching through filing cabinets and hard drives.

3. Measure Without Site Visits. Because the 3D scan is dimensionally accurate, you can measure spaces without leaving your desk using the in-built measurement tool. For example, you can check if a new piece of machinery fits through a specific doorway, or you calculate the wall area for a refit. This eliminates repeated site visits and gives your contractors the exact measurements they need to quote accurately.
