3D Building Capture with Matterport
A Better Way to See, Document, and Understand Your Building
Buildings hold a lot of information, but too often, that information is hard to access when you need it most.
Drawings may be outdated. Key systems may be hidden. Repeated site visits can slow planning and decision-making.
Matterport 3D Building Capture, also known as a 3D Digital Twin, gives you a clearer, more practical way to understand your building. Mitchell Design Build creates a detailed digital twin of your commercial space that helps owners, facility managers, and project teams work from a more complete view of existing conditions.
More than a virtual tour, it provides an immersive view of the space and a practical tool for building documentation, remote viewing, and accurate measurements.
What Is a Matterport 3D Digital Twin?
A Matterport digital twin is a detailed, interactive 3D model of a real-world space.
Using a Matterport Pro3 camera, our on-staff expert captures your building and turns it into a virtual model that can be explored from any device with a web browser. The completed model allows users to move through the space room by room, view it from multiple perspectives, and take measurements directly inside the model.
This is more than a virtual tour.
It is a practical building documentation tool that helps you better understand your property and make smarter decisions about construction, maintenance, planning, and operations.
A Matterport 3D building model can include:
- Interactive walkthrough views
- Dollhouse view of the full space
- Floor plan perspectives
- Measurement tools
- Tagged notes and reference points
- A shareable visual record for teams, owners, consultants, and insurers
For building owners and facility teams, it creates a single source of truth that is easier to use than static photos and more intuitive than relying on outdated plans alone.

Simplify Facilities Management and Building Maintenance
Matterport can support many types of building needs. One area where it can be especially useful is facilities management.
For facility teams, a digital twin creates a clear, organized, and accessible record of the building as it exists today. It can help document equipment locations, support maintenance planning, and make it easier for multiple people to review a space without being there in person.
With Mattertags, specific equipment and building features can be labeled within the scan, making it possible to attach useful facility information directly to each one, including:
- Equipment identification
- Maintenance notes
- Serial numbers
- Operating manuals
- Reference documents
- Service history
Instead of relying only on outdated drawings, scattered photos, or memory, teams have a clearer and more reliable way to work from the same information. That gives facility teams a clearer, more reliable way to manage building information over time.
What Clients Appreciate About the Experience
“Our facility is almost 80 years old, and our existing AutoCAD layout was completely outdated. That was creating real problems when we were planning work and laying out new installations. We use building information for maintenance, safety, security, IT, and capital improvements, so having an accurate view of the space is critical. The Matterport Digital Twin gave us a more accurate, up-to-date understanding of the building and made the process much more efficient. Instead of making repeated trips to the floor to measure, check conditions, and update drawings, we can pull up the space instantly and keep projects moving.”

Why Mitchell Design Build for Matterport 3D Building Capture?
Matterport technology is powerful. But the real value comes from pairing that technology with building knowledge.
Mitchell Design Build brings more than 40 years of design and construction experience to every project. We understand buildings from the inside out, and that perspective matters when documenting spaces for renovation, maintenance, facilities planning, and long-term use.
Our Matterport 3D Building Capture combines an on-staff Matterport expert, high-accuracy capture, and real-word construction knowledge. Just as important, we understand how the digital twin will actually be used and what decisions it needs to support.
We approach your building as design-build professionals who understand the decisions that happen before, during, and after construction. That perspective helps create a digital twin that supports real planning, coordination, and decision making.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Matterport 3D building capture?
A Matterport 3D building capture is a detailed, interactive digital model of a physical space. It allows users to walk through the space virtually, take measurements, and view the building in a highly visual and accessible format.
What is a Matterport scan used for?
A Matterport scan can be used for renovation planning, facilities management, building documentation, insurance support, remote site review, tenant fit-outs, and long-term asset management.
How does Matterport work?
Matterport uses a specialized 3D camera to capture a series of scan points throughout a space. Those scans are processed into an interactive 3D model that can be viewed and navigated online.
Can Matterport be used during construction?
Yes. In fact, one of the best times to use it is during construction or renovation, before walls and ceilings are closed, so important systems can be documented while they are still visible.
Can Matterport help with building maintenance?
Yes. A Matterport model can support maintenance planning, equipment documentation, team coordination, and remote review of spaces and systems.
How much does Matterport 3D Building Capture cost?
Pricing depends on the size, complexity, and goals of the project. MDB can provide a custom quote based on your building and how you plan to use the model.
