Across Canada’s construction sector, firms are under pressure to deliver complex projects faster—without compromising accuracy or team coordination. Whether you're working on a retrofit in downtown Toronto or managing multiple builds across British Columbia, one challenge remains the same: how do you keep everyone on the same page?
That’s where the integration between Matterport and Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) comes in.
Matterport is a leading platform for creating immersive scanned 3D digital twins of physical spaces. Its reality capture tools enable highly accurate and detailed visualizations of construction sites, buildings, and assets.
Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) is a comprehensive suite of cloud-based tools for managing construction projects. It connects workflows, teams, and data—from design and documentation to field coordination and handover.
Together, these platforms offer a seamless solution to bridge the gap between site conditions and construction workflows.
Enhance collaboration across offices, job sites, and project phases
Better Communication: helps in making faster decisions and reducing misunderstandings that can lead to costly delays
Improve visibility into progress, quality issues, and field data—all in one shared environment
Users can export BIM files (.rvt, .ifc, .dwg) and MatterPak bundles from Matterport scans directly into ACC. This allows you to kickstart documentation or design updates with high-fidelity site conditions—without relying on manual field surveys.
Project teams can now create and track RFIs and Issues directly within the Matterport scan. By placing visual pins on areas of concern, teams gain immediate context. That means faster approvals, fewer misunderstandings, and better decision-making—especially helpful when stakeholders are remote.
Owners, contractors, and architects can all access the same digital twin model inside ACC. This shared visual reference helps:
Review site conditions from any location
Flag and resolve issues earlier
Make better-informed decisions at every stage
It’s the difference between guessing what's happening on-site and seeing it in high-definition 3D.
Discover how to streamline your construction and design projects by integrating Matterport's 3D scanning technology with Autodesk Construction Cloud. This video provides a step-by-step guide on capturing site conditions, processing scans, and leveraging the data within Autodesk tools to enhance collaboration, accuracy, and efficiency throughout your project lifecycle.
While the integration of Matterport and Autodesk Construction Cloud is gaining global traction, its benefits are especially relevant to the realities of Canadian construction. The following examples reflect common project types and challenges seen across the country—and how this integration can help teams work smarter:
Architects working on heritage or retrofit projects often deal with outdated documentation and tight urban job sites. By scanning existing conditions with Matterport and linking the data into ACC, firms can coordinate across disciplines with confidence—ensuring that design and field teams are aligned from day one.
General contractors working across large geographic areas, such as Vancouver Island or Northern BC, face the challenge of limited site access and costly travel. Using Matterport scans embedded in Autodesk Build, teams can conduct virtual site reviews, track progress, and collaborate with owners and subcontractors—no matter where they're located.
Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) contractors on complex retrofit jobs often encounter clashes or unclear field conditions. With Matterport + ACC, they can tag RFIs directly to the scan, giving designers or consultants the context they need to respond quickly—without back-and-forth emails or assumptions about what’s onsite.
Use the Matterport Pro3 for best scan quality, especially for large, complex, or outdoor projects
Keep your scans up to date as the site evolves, especially during key milestones or before major trades mobilize
Train your project team on how to use pins, RFIs, and file exports—adoption is key to success
Watch file sizes for BIM exports; large projects may benefit from segmented exports or compressed bundles
