When construction wraps and the final walk-through is complete, a building’s real work begins. Over the next 20, 30 or 50 years, that structure will need ongoing maintenance, periodic renovations and design decisions tied to existing conditions. For building owners, architects and facility managers, accurate as-built documentation is the difference between confident decisions and expensive guesswork.
Alta Construction uses Matterport for construction alongside transparent project management platforms such as Procore, Raken and BuildingConnected, providing clients with complete visibility from preconstruction through facility management and creating a construction digital twin that spans the entire building life cycle.
A Living Digital Twin for Building Owners
A Matterport scan isn’t a static file. It’s a reference that can be updated as building conditions change, delivering measurable value long after construction is complete.
Streamline Facility Management
Facility managers use the 3D model for virtual walk-throughs, maintenance planning and vendor coordination. Before inviting contractors on-site, facility managers can share the Matterport scan to verify as-built conditions. This reduces unnecessary site visits and speeds up quote turnaround. Matterport for facilities management becomes a central reference point for operational decisions.
Simplify Future Renovations
The value of Matterport extends well beyond the initial build. The digital twin gives building owners a reliable visual record they can reference when planning renovations, evaluating existing spaces or preparing for the preconstruction budgeting phase. Instead of starting from scratch each time a new project comes up, owners can use the scan to understand current conditions and share accurate context with the project team early in the planning process.
Enhance Handover and Documentation
Post-construction handover becomes seamless when building owners receive a complete as-built Matterport scan alongside traditional 2D drawings. When construction firms deliver this as-built documentation through integrated project management platforms, clients can access their Matterport scan, project history and site photos in one handover package.
Empowering Architects and Design Partners With Reliable Data
Alta Construction’s use of Matterport for construction benefits the entire project team, especially the professional partners involved in a building’s life cycle.
Eliminating Manual Errors and Guesswork
A Matterport scan captures millions of data points through reality capture and 3D scanning. Architects working on tenant improvements or renovations have verified as-built data from day one, reducing the risk of errors from outdated plans. Matterport for architects delivers the precision modern design work demands.
Reducing Costly Site Visits
When as-built documentation includes detailed 3D models, architects and engineers can verify measurements remotely. A comprehensive Matterport model provides answers without requiring travel. This efficiency helps reduce construction site visits and keeps the design moving forward.
Seamless Integration With BIM and Revit
Matterport scans can be exported in formats compatible with Revit or other Building Information Modeling (BIM) platforms through compatible file types and workflow integrations. A BIM file generated from a Matterport scan supports architects working with accurate spatial data, making the software a core part of modern design-build workflows.
The Alta Advantage: A Partner for the Full Life Cycle
Alta Construction’s commitment to transparency and technology doesn’t end when the project does. We give clients direct access to our project management platforms — Procore for real-time project updates, Raken for daily site logs and photo documentation, and BuildingConnected for seamless bid management.
By integrating reality capture and point cloud technology into our delivery process, Alta Construction ensures building owners and design teams have the tools they need for facility management. The Matterport return on investment in construction isn’t just measured during the build — it’s realized every time a facility manager avoids an unnecessary site visit, every time an architect reduces the risk of a design error and every time a building owner makes an informed decision about their asset.
