Digital Building Models & Visual Records


Digital Building Models & Visual Records provide a clear, accurate way to record and understand buildings using Matterport data alongside supporting documentation. These models create an accessible visual reference that can be revisited over time, supporting conservation, planning, design and long-term building management.

Logan’s ARCH uses digital building models to help clients understand layout, condition and spatial relationships without repeated site visits, providing a reliable record of a building at a specific moment in time.


Digital building models are created using Matterport 3D scanning data and associated imagery, producing an interactive, measurable digital representation of a building. These visual records can be used alongside plans, reports, photographs and written documentation.

They offer a practical way to capture existing conditions clearly and consistently, supporting a wide range of professional uses.

Digital Building Models & Visual Records may include:

  • Interactive Matterport 3D building models
  • Accurate spatial data and measurements
  • High-resolution imagery extracted from scans
  • Visual records to support reports, drawings and assessments
  • Structured digital outputs suitable for long-term reference

All outputs are prepared proportionately, according to the scale, significance and requirements of the project.

Digital building models and visual records are commonly used for:

  • Conservation and heritage documentation
  • Planning applications and supporting material
  • Design development and project coordination
  • Condition recording and baseline surveys
  • Long-term building management and asset records

They provide a clear visual reference that supports informed decision-making throughout a project’s lifecycle.

Logan’s ARCH applies a clear and proportionate approach to digital building models, ensuring that:

  • Recording is appropriate to the building and its context
  • Outputs are practical, accessible and easy to use
  • Digital records complement, rather than replace, professional judgement
  • Information can be revisited without unnecessary repeat site visits

If you require a clear digital record of a building to support conservation, planning, design or long-term management, Logan’s ARCH can advise on whether a digital building model or visual record is appropriate for your project.
