Your building, navigable from anywhere.
A walkable, dimensionable, queryable virtual replica of your facility. Walk it from a browser. Take measurements without a hard hat. Embed live data from your building systems. Two tiers — pick the one that matches what you need.
A virtual replica that knows what it's a replica of.
A digital twin is a navigable, dimensionable virtual replica of a physical building. At its simplest, it's a walkable 3D environment — like a video game version of your facility — that lets you tour, measure, and share without a site visit.
At its most advanced, it's a living operational layer: the same 3D environment, but with embedded asset data, real-time sensor feeds, equipment records, and FM workflows. The geometry is the same; what changes is what you can do with it.
We deliver both. Pick the tier that matches what your team actually needs — a Matterport tour you can hand to a contractor, or a full operational twin that becomes the central interface for facility operations.
Virtual walkthrough · 3D tour · Reality capture model · Operational twin · Building information twin
Two ways to twin a building. Pick the one that fits the use.
A walkable Matterport tour is fast, affordable, and serves 80% of AEC use cases. An operational digital twin is the right call when the building is going to do something with the data — facility management, asset tracking, or sensor integration. Here's the difference, plainly.
Matterport-grade tour
A clickable, dimensionable 3D environment. Share by URL. Best for design coordination, marketing, and remote site reviews.
What you get
- Walkable Matterport-style virtual tour
- Dimensional measurement tools
- 360° HDR imagery throughout
- Floor plan / dollhouse views
- Embedded notes and labels
- Shareable URL — no software install
Best for
- Design coordination meetings
- Remote site reviews
- Real estate & leasing visualization
- Construction progress sharing
- Tenant/owner walkthroughs
Living building data layer
Everything in Tier 01, plus embedded asset databases, sensor integration, and FM workflows. The 3D environment becomes a working operational tool.
What you get (everything in Tier 01, plus)
- Asset-tagged equipment with embedded records
- Live sensor & BAS data integration
- Maintenance history per piece of equipment
- Real-time space utilization data
- API access for FM software integrations
- Lifecycle update workflows (annual rescan, delta tracking)
- Custom reporting & dashboards
Best for
- Facility & campus operations
- Hospital & lab environments
- Data center management
- Industrial & manufacturing facilities
- Smart building / IoT initiatives
Tier 01 vs. Tier 02. What changes.
Both tiers start from the same scan dataset. What separates them is what gets built on top — and how the twin is used after delivery.
What an operational twin actually does.
If Tier 02 is on the table, you'll want to know what it gives you. Here are the six capabilities that define it.
Asset database
Every piece of equipment in your building is tagged in 3D space and linked to a record: make, model, install date, warranty period, maintenance history, parts list, vendor contact. Click the equipment in the twin and the record appears.
Live sensor integration
Connect your building automation system (BAS), IoT sensors, BACnet devices, or Modbus controllers. Temperature, humidity, occupancy, energy use, equipment status — all visible inside the twin in real time, refreshed every 5–60 seconds.
Maintenance workflows
Click a piece of equipment, open a work order. The twin connects to your CMMS (Maximo, Fiix, ServiceChannel, Asset Essentials, Limble) so the geometry becomes the visual front-end of your existing maintenance system.
Space utilization tracking
Occupancy sensors and badge data feed the twin to show real-time and historical space usage. Conference rooms, workstations, common areas — see what's used, when, and by whom. Critical for hybrid-work facility planning.
Annual rescan & delta tracking
The twin doesn't drift. We rescan annually (or on your cadence) and the system identifies what's changed: new walls, removed equipment, modified rooms. The twin stays current; the change log gets archived.
Custom dashboards & reporting
Pull the data the way your stakeholders want it. Energy consumption by floor, work order completion by zone, equipment age curves, area-by-use breakdowns. Reports run on a schedule and arrive in inboxes.
When does it pay to twin a building?
A digital twin earns its keep when one of these specific operational realities applies. Most clients hit two or three.
Distributed teams visiting from afar
Architects in New York reviewing a project in Phoenix. Owner's reps in Tokyo touring an Atlanta facility. The twin replaces the airfare.
Linking BIM to operations
Your BIM model captures design intent. The digital twin captures live conditions. Connect them and the lifecycle gap finally closes.
Hospital, lab, or data center FM
Mission-critical facilities where an asset database, sensor integration, and lockdown access protocols are mandatory, not optional.
Tenant or owner walkthroughs
Pre-leasing tours. Final walk-through before closing. Marketing fly-throughs. The twin replaces dozens of in-person visits per year.
Insurance & legal documentation
Defensible record of conditions for property insurance, ADA compliance, lease audits, and any future disputes about what was where, when.
Emergency & security planning
First responders pre-tour your facility virtually. Security teams plan camera coverage. Emergency drills run through the twin before they run on-site.
From scope to deployed twin — under three weeks for Tier 01.
Tier 01 deliveries follow our standard 5–7 day scan-to-tour workflow. Tier 02 builds add data-integration sprints on top — usually 4–8 weeks total depending on the complexity of your CMMS and BAS connections.
Scope & tier selection
Walk through your goals. We help you pick the tier — most clients self-select once they see the capability tradeoff.
Site capture
High-precision Matterport Pro3 LiDAR capture + 360° HDR imagery throughout the facility. Same scan dataset feeds both tiers.
Twin build
Tier 01: Matterport tour build (5–7 days). Tier 02: tour build + asset tagging + system integration (4–8 weeks).
Deploy & train
Tour goes live; team training session included. Tier 02 includes admin setup and integration walkthroughs.
The numbers behind the twins we've built.
A twin for every operational reality.
Different teams need different things from a digital twin. Here's how each one puts it to work.
The site visit, replaced.
Architects and engineers use Tier 01 tours to coordinate from the office. Site context, dimension verification, clash detection — all from a browser.
- Replaces dozens of site visits per project
- Embed dimensions, notes, and design markups
- Share with consultants by URL — no software
The control panel, in 3D.
FM directors use Tier 02 twins as the spatial front-end of their CMMS. Click equipment to see records, sensor data, and work order history. The geometry replaces spreadsheets.
- Asset database tied to live geometry
- Sensor integration — BAS, IoT, BACnet
- CMMS sync (Maximo, Fiix, ServiceChannel)
The asset, documented forever.
For property owners and developers, the twin is the living asset record — useful for marketing, leasing, refinancing, insurance, and any future renovation 20 years out.
- Marketing-quality immersive tours
- Lease & tenant fit-out documentation
- Forensic record for insurance & warranty
"We replaced four spreadsheets, two binders, and a CAD library with one twin. Our facilities team can find any piece of equipment, see its maintenance history, and dispatch a work order — all from the 3D environment."
