What’s Better: Matterport or Video Walkthroughs?
Matterport is the better choice when the person viewing a space needs to understand it, not just see it. A video shows you what the person holding the camera chose to show you. A Matterport model lets you go where you need to go, stop, look closer, and come back...
Who Gets the Digital Twin When the Building Changes Hands?
When a building sells, the digital twin doesn't automatically go with it. A Matterport scan lives in an account, and account access is a separate question from the deed — one that has to be handled directly, not assumed. This is written for building owners, investors,...
The Record No One Remembers Exists — Until They Need It
Buildings outlast the people who manage them. The record no one remembers exists is often the only accurate reference left once the person who held that knowledge in their head has retired, moved on, or changed employers. This is written for facility managers and...

Who Inherits This Building’s Record Five Years From Now?
Whoever manages this building five years from now will inherit whatever record exists of it today. If that record is a folder of drawings nobody trusts and a facilities manager's memory, they inherit almost nothing. If it's a Matterport digital twin, they inherit an...
Keeping Your Digital Twin Current: A Practical Re-Scan Schedule for Facility Teams
A digital twin rescan schedule is the set of triggers a facility team uses to decide when to recapture a building, rather than a fixed calendar date. The most reliable schedule is tied to changes in the building itself — a renovation, a tenant buildout, or a...
Capital Planning with Reality Capture: What CFOs and Facility Leaders Should Know
Capital planning reality capture replaces memory, outdated drawings, and a walkthrough nobody has time to schedule with a documented, dimensionally accurate model of a building. Facility leaders and CFOs use that baseline to compare conditions across a portfolio and...
Vendor Coordinated Remote Walkthroughs: How Facility Teams Use Matterport
Vendor coordination for remote walkthroughs let an outside contractor, vendor, or consultant review a space inside a Matterport digital twin before ever stepping on site. Facility teams use this to scope work, answer basic access and layout questions, and cut down on...
