Matterport pioneering spatial data capture in construction.

As Robin Daniels joins Matterport as their new CMO, we take a look at how they became the market leader in spatial data capture. 

An imperative phase of any new development undertaking is documentation. General contractors, the construction worker and owners, want documentation to affirm development is being carried out to requirements and in accordance to design. Verification based totally on quality documentation lowers the quantity of rework​ due to error and permits a profitable handoff from building to amenities management. 

Matterport presents an immersive and interactive 3D model for documentation and management.  The equipment consists of matters such as measurements, Mattertags and exports to CAD/BIM packages ​such as AutoCAD and Revit. Couple this with the ever-increasing accuracy of Google street view and you can see the inside and outside of nearly any construction sites on earth.
