Enhancing Construction Management with 360/3D Matterport Scanning and Services

As a construction professional, you understand the importance of efficient project management and clear communication among stakeholders. Matterport 3D scanning and VRD Spatial's comprehensive services can significantly improve your construction management process, whether you're using online platforms like Procore or Autodesk Construction Cloud or not. For those not using an online platform, VRD Spatial's Matterport scanning services can help streamline construction administration in several ways:

1. Accurate documentation: 3D scans provide a precise, as-built record of the construction site at various stages, reducing the risk of errors and disputes.

2. Remote site access: Stakeholders can virtually tour the site from anywhere, minimizing the need for physical site visits and saving time and resources.

3. Improved collaboration: By sharing 3D scans, all parties can easily communicate and make informed decisions based on a shared understanding of the project's progress.

4. Enhanced problem-solving: Matterport scans allow for quick identification and resolution of issues, as the detailed visuals provide context for discussions.

5. Reduces time with the 360-degree photos/walkthrough, taking photos via normal cameras can quite often miss areas of importance or where future issues arise. Save time by logging the issue or query in the Matterport platform. Users can immediately find where the issue is and with context.

If you're already using Procore or Autodesk Construction Cloud, integrating VRD Spatial's Matterport services can further enhance your construction management:

1. Seamless integration: Matterport scans can be easily embedded into Procore or Autodesk Construction Cloud, providing a centralized hub for all project information.

2. Improved punch list management: By linking punch list items to specific locations within the 3D scan, teams can quickly locate and address issues, streamlining the closeout process.

3. Enhanced BIM coordination: Matterport scans can be used to verify BIM models against as-built conditions, ensuring accuracy and facilitating better coordination among trades.

4. Powerful progress tracking: Regularly updating 3D scans within your project management platform allows for clear, visual progress tracking, keeping all stakeholders informed and aligned.

For those on the Oracle Aconex platform, whilst no direct Matterport integration, VRD Spatial can provide 3D scans can further enhance your construction management process:

1. Improved collaboration: Matterport scans can be easily shared and accessed within the Aconex platform, ensuring all project stakeholders have a clear, visual understanding of the project's progress.

2. Enhanced BIM coordination: Oracle Aconex offers BIM file management and process control. By combining this with Matterport scans, you can verify BIM models against as-built conditions, facilitating better coordination among trades.

3. Streamlined issue management: Aconex provides field inspection and issue management tools. Linking these issues to specific locations within the Matterport scan can help teams quickly identify and resolve problems.

4. Comprehensive project record: Aconex automatically logs correspondence and provides a complete project record and audit trail. Integrating Matterport scans into this record ensures a more detailed and visual documentation of the project's lifecycle.

5. Efficient handover: Aconex supports the creation and management of digital operations and maintenance manuals. Incorporating Matterport scans into these manuals can provide a more interactive and informative resource for facility managers and owners.

By leveraging VRD Spatial's expertise in 3D scanning and Matterport services, you can optimize your construction management process, improve communication and quality management, and ultimately deliver projects more efficiently.
