What is a Matterport tour?
A Matterport tour is a 3D scan of a building that visitors walk through on screen, switch to a dollhouse view to understand the layout, and measure on demand. Because the scan captures geometry as well as imagery, it also yields floor plans, point clouds and BIM files. It is the standard for property, hospitality and workplace marketing, and Matterport reports more than 14 million spaces digitised worldwide.
Why book a Matterport photographer rather than scan it yourself?
Scan quality decides how the tour looks and how accurate the model is. We use Pro3 LiDAR scanners for indoor and outdoor capture, plan scan positions so the dollhouse is clean, and edit the model, set the start view and add tags before it goes live. Tags, which many providers charge for, are included.
Cost and turnaround
Scans start from £350 and are priced on floor area. Tours are usually live within 48 hours of the scan. Still photography can be added from £150, and there are no travel charges anywhere in mainland UK. If you need a branded, editable tour with hotspots rather than a scan, see our bespoke 360 tours.
What every Matterport scan includes

Dollhouse and floor-plan views

What our Matterport clients say
L'Oscar London asked us to capture four of its five-star event spaces as Matterport tours. A pre-shoot visit, one efficient day on site and the finished tours were live within the timeframe the hotel needed.
I must say that I was very happy with the overall experience, from the quote, prices, time of response. You've been really professional, and it is amazing value for money. I would definitely recommend!

What is a 3D Matterport tour and is it right for my project?
Matterport 3D virtual tours are a great choice for many projects, but not all. For example, the size of the space being captured, how busy the areas are, and how much time you have available to shoot the spaces all play a part in deciding whether to opt for a Matterport tour, or one of our bespoke virtual tours. For more information on deciding on the best tour type, read our guide here. Bespoke vs Matterport vs Google - Which option is best for you?
How much does a Matterport 3D tour cost and is it worth it?
Matterport Virtual Tours tours are priced on the size of the space being shot. This starts from £350, and increases in cost based on the size of the space being captured.
What is a ‘Mattertag’ and what does it actually do?
A Mattertag is a virtual tag that can be added inside any 3D Matterport Virtual Tour to help communicate additional information and add context to specific locations, objects or features directly inside a 3D Virtual Tour. We include these free of charge for our projects! They can include copy, images or video.
What information do you need to prepare a 3D walkthrough quote?
The size of the space dictates the cost of a Matterport virtual tour. When asking for a quote please let us know the number of rooms you have, the amount of floors and if possible, the size of the floor space. If you have floor plans or architects drawings these are very helpful .
How long does a Matterport scan take?
A 3 bedroom show home can take one of our Matterport photographers between 1-2 hours to capture. Large spaces may take multiple days, depending on the access and timescale available for shooting.
How many people should be present during the 3D shoot?
Just a single 3D scanning Matterport photographer is present at each Matterport shoot.
Can we include people in the tour and are there any disadvantages?
We recommend that Matterport virtual tours are scanned when no people are present. However, this doesn’t mean that people can’t be in a shot if this is unavoidable. We do strongly advise that people stay in their positions for the whole shoot if this is the case.
Can you edit Matterport images to remove items or blemishes?
No, Matterport imagery cannot be edited to remove any items or blemishes that may be in view. We can blur content if this is required.
How long until our tour is ready and how do I add it to my website?
Most scans are uploaded to the Matterport servers 24-48 hours after the completion of the scan. It can the take up to 24 hours for the scan to be rendered and ready for sharing. Larger Matterport projects with multiple scans can take longer, so if you have a specific deadline, let us know so we can accommodate it within our workflows.
Do architects use Matterport and can you provide BIM files?
Yes, once scanned your Matterport virtual tour can be used to process a set of BIM files for use in software such as Autodesk’s® Revit. This is classed as an add-on, and as such are priced separately from your standard Matterport scan cost. Available files included in a BIM output are as follows - RVT file (compatible with Revit 2020 and newer) .DWG (Floor Plan) .DWG (Reflected Ceiling Plan) .IFC (IFC4, Industry Foundation Classes) .RCS (ReCap Scan, a point cloud) The Matterport BIM File is for those who work in the AEC space (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction), such as the following: Sectors: Commercial, Retail, Data Centers, General Architecture/Design Firms, Engineering Firms, construction companies. Beneficiaries: Professionals within organizations responsible for design, construction, project management, acquisitions, and leasing.
What is the difference between Matterport and standard 360° photography?
Matterport provides spatial data and a 3D mesh, whereas standard 360° is just a series of flat panoramic images.
Do Matterport tours require a subscription?
Yes, there is typically a recurring hosting fee to keep the tour live on the Matterport Cloud.
