Matterport 3D Surveys: Bringing Your Property to Life

11 September 2025

At TCL we have always believed that surveying should be as clear and accessible as it is rigorous. That is why we have invested in the Matterport Pro Camera, giving our clients a new way to see and understand property.

Immersive 3D representation

Matterport 3D surveys create a digital twin of a building, capturing a space in precise 3D as the name suggests! The result is an interactive, walk-through model that allows you to explore a property as if you were standing inside it. Whether you are purchasing, managing, or occupying, it is a powerful way to visualise the building in full context.

Clarity where words can fall short

Traditional reports rely on written descriptions and photographs, which can sometimes leave room for interpretation. With a Matterport model, defects and key building features can be highlighted directly within the virtual space. This makes our findings easier to follow, reduces the risk of misinterpretation, and supports clearer conversations between all parties involved.

Versatile applications

3D visual tours can be integrated into a wide range of reports and instructions, including:

• Pre-acquisition and building surveys

• Planned preventative maintenance schedules

• Schedules of condition and dilapidation

• Defect diagnosis reports

• Design and project management for extensions or alterations

Precision you can rely on

The scans captured are accurate to within a few millimetres, meaning the data is not only immersive but highly practical. We can take exact measurements, calculate floor areas, carry out material take-offs, and prepare reinstatement cost assessments for insurance. The software also produces scaled floor plans at a fraction of the cost of a traditional measured survey, offering a reliable base for planning and design work.

Adding value to your decisions

For us, Matterport 3D survey technology is not about replacing detailed survey work but about enhancing it. It gives our clients greater confidence in the detail, whether that means visualising potential risks before acquisition, managing a property portfolio more effectively, or defending a position in a dilapidations claim.

At TCL, our role is to provide clarity and certainty. By combining decades of surveying expertise with cutting-edge digital tools, we are able to deliver insight in a way that is both meticulous and easy to understand.
