Since being introduced to Matterport we have considered and implemented various uses of the service to enhance our existing service offering to clients. Matterport allows us to capture, share, and collaborate using the 3D data platform regardless of location, and has essentially unlocked new ways of viewing property, making processes much smoother for both us and our clients.
As an example, Paragon undertook Matterport 360 degree camera surveys on three large retail assets.
The footage of one of the sites was shared with the tenant’s design team, in turn enabling them to complete their design with less site inspections and the associated professional design team cost. The footage also enabled contractors to finalise pricing, Health and Safety teams to finalise site set up proposals and for pre-contract planning for the project to start.
This allowed the project to start with only a small delay; a delay that would have undoubtedly significantly increased otherwise as a result of Covid-19. The outcome of this was time saved for both us and the client, as well as a reduction in potential cost in a number of areas. In this particular example, the lease starts on completion of the tenant fit out, and therefore every day saved is highly significant to the client and has substantial financial benefits. Without Matterport, we would estimate the project would have had at least a 4 – 6 week delay in starting.
As we are now seeing remote working becoming more popular, and more of a reality for the future within the industry, remote viewing will inevitably be more in demand than ever before.
