Technology Selection Guidance
We help clients select the appropriate capture method based on project requirements:
Choose Professional LiDAR (Leica/Faro) when:
- Architects require construction-grade as-built drawings
- Engineers need measurements for structural analysis or MEP coordination
- Contractors are bidding from your documentation
- BIM models must meet LOD 200+ standards
- Project requires ±1-3mm accuracy for renovation design
- Long-term facility documentation demands permanent data ownership
Choose Matterport when:
- Primary goal is virtual tour creation or property marketing
- Stakeholders need web-based immersive facility walkthroughs
- Insurance documentation requires visual spatial context
- Quick facility assessment guides preliminary planning
- Marketing teams need engaging digital presentations
- Budget prioritizes speed and accessibility over millimeter precision
Many projects benefit from both technologies—professional LiDAR for construction documentation combined with Matterport tours for stakeholder communication and marketing.
