Transforming Construction Planning with Matterport: DCMS in Shop Talk 42

In today’s fast-paced AEC industry, where tight deadlines and complex renovations are the norm, DCMS (Data Collection Modeling Services) is helping reshape how teams approach construction planning—through precision, efficiency, and visual collaboration. In Shop Talk 42, the Matterport team explores how DCMS uses 3D scanning and digital twins to support smarter, faster project execution across North and South America.

From Toronto and San Francisco to Lima and Mexico City, our team has supported over 500 projects—ranging from commercial renovations and retail rollouts to institutional upgrades and tunnel documentation.

Smarter Planning Starts with Matterport

As highlighted in the webinar, integrating Matterport into our daily workflow has been a game-changer for pre-construction coordination, site verification, and stakeholder communication.

• LOD 200–300 Revit Models.

• .e57 / .obj exports for CAD and modeling environments.

• Scaled 2D floor plans, elevations, and cross-sections.

• High-resolution Matterport walkthroughs for remote coordination.

This hybrid approach ensures that architects, engineers, and project managers can design and build with confidence, knowing they’re working with the most accurate spatial data available.

Real Results from Real Projects

During Shop Talk 42, several case studies were discussed where DCMS successfully applied this workflow to diverse and challenging environments, including:

• Healthcare facilities in Texas.

• Luxury retail stores in Honolulu, Houston, and Bogotá.

• Mining tunnels in rural Peru.

• Institutional renovations in Quebec.

In each case, the use of Matterport empowered all stakeholders to stay aligned, avoid costly surprises, and execute faster.

Leading the AEC Industry into a Visual Future

As the webinar shows, Matterport is more than a tool—it’s a bridge between vision and execution. At DCMS, we’re proud to help clients in New York, California, Colombia, and beyond access digital construction workflows that are reliable, scalable, and intuitive.
