Introduction: AI’s Impact on Built Environment Professionals

Artificial Intelligence has been rapidly embraced by leading technology companies and businesses across the globe—so much so that the pace of innovation often outpaces our ability to keep up. It’s no surprise, then, that over 90% of major industries—including AEC and Facility Management—are now actively exploring how to leverage AI to enhance their operations. In an industry where speed, accuracy, and accountability are everything, AI is redefining how buildings are designed, documented, and maintained.

From automating space measurements to streamlining asset tagging, Matterport’s 2025 Property Intelligence Suite is AI in action, built directly into your reality capture workflow.

Matterport’s Property Intelligence Suite for AEC & FM

Matterport’s latest platform updates are designed specifically for the needs of the construction and facility operations community. Leveraging AI, the Property Intelligence suite adds automation and intelligence to every scan, giving users more than just images—it delivers actionable insights.

Key features include:

• Seamless integration with BIM platforms (e.g., Revit)

• Compatibility with popular CAFM and CMMS tools

• AI-powered processing for as-built and lifecycle data

These integrations make it easier to plug scan data into real project ecosystems—closing the gap between field reality and digital workflows.

Key AI-Driven Capabilities

Automated Measurements & Layouts

AI instantly recognizes and extracts measurements from scans, generating accurate as-built layouts that speed up planning and verification. Perfect for design validation, renovation planning, or lease area certification.

Asset Tagging at Scale

Use bulk tag import/export to apply consistent metadata across your scans. Add real-time field tags during scanning or through post-processing—ideal for maintenance handovers or operational documentation.

AI-Generated Reports & Floor Plans

Generate detailed reports with minimal manual input. Matterport’s AI can auto-generate floor plans, identify room types, and extract data points relevant to preventive maintenance or operational audits.

Accelerating Project Delivery and Facility Operations

In both construction and FM workflows, delays often stem from time-consuming documentation tasks. Matterport’s AI tools help mitigate that by:

• Speeding up RFI responses with quick access to dimensional and visual data

• Improving change management by automatically tracking spatial differences

• Simplifying compliance reporting with standardized, exportable documentation

In FM, AI supports:

• Preventive maintenance scheduling

• Lifecycle tracking of equipment

• Remote facility audits for multi-site portfolios

Benefits for AEC and Facility Management Teams

The business case is clear:

• Time Savings: Reduced manual measurements and documentation by up to 70%

• Improved Accuracy: Automated floor plans and tags reduce errors during project closeout

• Data-Driven Planning: Use captured intelligence for long-term capital planning and resource allocation

Whether you're a project manager on-site or a facility executive off-site, AI-enhanced scans provide a real-time view of your assets, spaces, and systems.

Future AI Innovations for the Industry

Matterport is already testing the next wave of AI tools, including:

• Generative AI for space optimization and layout alternatives

• Predictive maintenance modeling tied to building systems

• Digital twin analytics that track usage patterns and occupancy

These tools will reshape the way we manage the built environment—bringing proactive decision-making and deep intelligence to every square foot.

Transforming AEC and FM Workflows with AI

Matterport’s Property Intelligence suite is more than a software upgrade—it’s a rethinking of how AEC and FM teams capture, manage, and act on building data. From construction handover to long-term operations, Matterport’s AI tools are helping firms across Canada reduce costs, increase accuracy, and stay ahead of digital transformation trends.
