The Digital Twin of Your Property — Before You Need It
A permanent 3D record of your property and everything inside it.
Forensic-quality evidence for insurance, real estate, and peace of mind.
Why We Offer This Service
A few years ago, the owner of Affluent Contractors had a fire in his home.
The fire department did their work, and then they turned the house back over to him. The structure was damaged. Some rooms were unrecognizable. Everything inside — the furniture, the art, the possessions his family had accumulated over decades — was either destroyed, damaged, or scattered under debris.
The first thing he did — before he talked to the adjuster, before starting demolition, before anyone else set foot into the house — was have a Matterport scan made of the entire home. Every room. Every wall. Every surviving piece of furniture and every damaged one. A complete 3D record of the home in the condition it was in the moment the fire department handed it back.
That scan became the single most valuable document in the entire claim. Not the photos he happened to have on his phone. Not the receipts he could find. Not the memory of what was on which wall. The 3D scan — a permanent, measurable, walkable record — was what made the insurance process fair.
And the truth he learned the hard way: he wished he’d had a Matterport scan of his home from BEFORE the fire.
That’s why we offer this service now. Because nobody documents what’s in their home until they’ve lost it. And by then, the documentation that would have made the recovery straightforward is gone.
What a Matterport Scan Actually Is
Matterport is the industry standard for 3D digital twins of physical spaces. Our trained team comes to your property, captures every room using Matterport’s specialized cameras, and delivers an immersive 3D model you can walk through from any device — phone, tablet, or computer.
It’s not a video. It’s not a slideshow of photos. It’s a complete, measurable 3D twin of your property. You can click into any room, look in any direction, zoom into any surface, and measure distances between any two points — years after the scan is made.
What you get as the client:
- An interactive 3D walkthrough of your entire property, accessible from any browser with a simple link.
- Professional floor plans with accurate dimensions generated from the scan.
- High-resolution still photos of every room, captured automatically as part of the scan.
- Measurement tools that let you measure any distance, any surface, any ceiling height on demand.
- A permanent, time-stamped record hosted securely and available whenever you or your representatives need it.
Who This Service Is For
Matterport scans are valuable in more situations than most people realize. Here’s how different clients use them.
Homeowners — Before Something Happens
The primary use case, and the one we’re most passionate about. A scan of your home in its current condition — with every room, every piece of furniture, every piece of art, every possession captured in place — becomes the insurance backstop you hope you’ll never need. If there’s ever a fire, flood, storm, or theft, you have forensic-quality evidence of exactly what was in your home and what it looked like. We recommend an updated scan every few years, and after any significant purchase or renovation.
Insurance Claims — After Something Happens
When disaster strikes, the first thing we do for any restoration client is capture a Matterport scan of the property as-is — before demolition, before cleanup, before anything that could compromise evidence of the loss. This scan becomes part of the claim documentation, giving the adjuster, the carrier, and the insured a shared, indisputable record of the damage. We’ve seen this single step speed up claim resolution and make the rebuild conversation dramatically fairer.
Real Estate Agents — For Listings and Transactions
A Matterport tour on your listing lets buyers walk through the home from anywhere in the world before booking a showing. Listings with 3D tours attract more qualified buyers, reduce wasted showings, and help out-of-market purchasers move to offer faster. Beyond marketing, the scan also creates a permanent record of the home’s condition at the time of sale — useful for seller disclosures, inspection disputes, and post-close documentation.
Property Managers — For Every Unit, Every Turnover
For multifamily, single-family rental, and short-term rental portfolios, scans at move-in and move-out provide an airtight record of unit condition. Security deposit disputes become resolvable instead of emotional. Vacant units can be shown virtually to prospective tenants. And portfolio-wide documentation makes asset management easier across markets.
Commercial Clients — For Operations and Asset Records
Commercial property owners and operators use scans for tenant marketing, facility documentation, space planning, and insurance purposes. Scans of occupied commercial spaces can be updated after tenant improvements, creating a continuous record of the asset’s condition over time. And for multi-location businesses, a scan library becomes a reference tool that headquarters can access from anywhere.
Active Construction Projects — Before, During, and After
For our remodel and construction clients, pre-project scans capture existing conditions before any demolition begins — protecting you if something surfaces during the project that wasn’t visible before. Mid-project scans document what’s behind walls before drywall goes back up (invaluable for future service work). Final scans create a completion record that lives alongside your project documentation forever.
Why a Contractor Is the Right Partner for This
You might wonder why a construction firm is offering 3D scanning services. It’s a fair question. Here’s the answer: we understand what’s valuable in the scan because we’ve lived on both sides of it.
- We’ve been through a claim. We know what documentation makes the insurance process fair, and what gaps make it a nightmare. Our scans are captured with that experience in mind.
- We understand construction documentation. A scan is most useful when it captures the right things — mechanical systems, architectural details, high-value contents, and the features that matter to restoration or renovation decisions later.
- We integrate the scan with real project work. If you ever need a remodel, a restoration, or an inspection after the scan is made, the scan becomes part of the project record in JobTread — our construction management platform.
- We maintain your scan for you. Your scan is hosted and accessible for the duration of your service relationship with us, with updates available as your property changes.
- We’re local and accountable. Teams across Austin, DFW, Houston, and San Antonio. Not a traveling technician who disappears after the scan is delivered.
How the Service Works
1. Consultation and Scope
We talk about your property, your goals for the scan (insurance, real estate, construction documentation, or peace of mind), and confirm the scope — every room, every floor, exterior if applicable, and any specific features you want emphasized.
2. On-Site Capture
Our trained team comes to your property with Matterport camera equipment. Most residential scans take one to four hours, depending on size; larger or more complex properties may take longer. You don’t need to do anything except make sure the property looks the way you want it documented.
3. Processing and Delivery
Matterport processes the scan into a finished digital twin, which is typically available within 24 to 48 hours. We deliver the interactive 3D walkthrough, floor plans, and photo library via a secure link you can access anytime and share with insurance agents, attorneys, family members, or anyone else who needs it.
4. Hosting and Updates
Your scan is hosted and maintained as part of your service plan with us. If you renovate, acquire significant new possessions, or simply want a refreshed record, updated scans are available at reduced pricing for existing clients.
What a Scan Is Actually Worth
We could sell scans purely as a service and let you compare us on price. But that misses what this service really is.
A Matterport scan of your home is an insurance policy on your documentation. The few hundred to a few thousand dollars you spend today can make the difference between a claim that settles fairly and a claim that settles for whatever you can prove from memory. Most homeowners lose tens of thousands of dollars in uncompensated contents during a major loss — not because insurance refused to pay, but because the homeowner couldn’t prove what was there.
For a listing agent, a scan is a marketing tool that sells homes faster and attracts better-qualified buyers. For a property manager, it’s an operational tool that resolves disputes and speeds leasing. For an insurance agent, it’s a client-retention tool that separates you from competitors and protects your book. For a business owner, it’s a facility record that replaces a file cabinet of outdated floor plans.
In every one of these cases, the scan costs a fraction of what it protects.
Document Your Property Before You Need To
Most people don’t think about documenting their home until they’ve lost something. We’d rather help you get ahead of it. Reach out for a consultation and a quote — we’ll walk you through the scan process, show you sample digital twins we’ve produced, and help you decide what level of documentation makes sense for your situation.
