Why make a 360° photo tour

  • Fewer repeat site visits

    The team can return to the object by link and check details without another inspection.

  • One visual archive

    Panoramas and photos do not get lost in chats; they remain in a clear structure.

  • Object handoff to contractors

    Designers, architects, and builders understand the object context faster.

  • Condition capture

    Useful before renovation, after demolition, during work, and at handover.

  • A complement to measurements

    The photo tour shows condition, while measurements and laser scanning provide accurate dimensions.

Process

How the work is done

  1. 01

    Request

    The client sends the address, object type, area, task, desired tour format, and access requirements.

  2. 02

    Capture point plan

    We define zones, rooms, key points, tour route, need for standard photo capture, and any link with measurements or scanning.

  3. 03

    Site visit and capture

    A specialist captures 360° panoramas, photographs important details, and records rooms, MEP zones, openings, finishes, and disputed areas.

  4. 04

    Tour assembly

    Panoramas are processed, structured, connected with transitions, and labeled by rooms or zones.

  5. 05

    Publishing

    The tour is published in the agreed format: link, archive, Matterport, or SPLINE360.SPACE.

  6. 06

    Result handoff

    The client receives the link, files, project structure, and viewing or handoff notes for the team.

Cases and typical scenarios

Platform

SPLINE360.SPACE — a workspace for panorama tours and object materials

A panorama tour can be published in SPLINE360.SPACE, the SPLINE.PRO service for viewing 360° object materials. This format is useful when a link must be shared with the team, client, contractors, or management company.

  • panorama viewing by link in the browser
  • material handoff to the project team, client, or contractors
  • access format is agreed around the task and object privacy
  • object structure by rooms, zones, floors, or stages
  • ability to connect the photo tour with other object materials in an agreed format
  • available functions depend on the selected publishing format and project scope
Accurate data

When a photo tour alone is not enough

A 360° photo tour shows object condition, but it does not replace accurate measurements. If you need design drawings, a BIM model, or exact dimensions, combine the photo tour with measured surveys or laser scanning.

  • Accurate dimensions are needed

    For design, area calculations, working drawings, and a BIM model.

  • Complex geometry

    Curved walls, facades, stairs, level changes, and non-standard forms.

  • Large object

    Many rooms, floors, technical zones, or complex navigation across the object.

  • Engineering systems

    Ceiling services, ventilation, pipes, equipment, and installation zones.

  • A BIM model is needed

    BIM and Scan-to-BIM require measurements, laser scanning, or a point cloud.

  • High cost of error

    Reconstruction, construction, expensive finishes, heritage work, or commercial launch.

Segments

Who benefits most from a 360° photo tour

  • Designers and architects

    Check openings, outlets, finishes, furniture, wet zones, ceilings, and complex areas without another inspection.

  • HoReCa and retail

    Every restaurant, cafe, shop, or office is captured in a consistent format and shared with the team by link.

  • Property owners

    A visual object history appears for disputes before renovation, lease, handover, or demolition.

  • Contractors

    Contractors can inspect the object remotely and prepare for work faster.

  • Developers, operators, and networks

    Objects are captured in one structure and remain available to the team without constant site visits.

FAQ

FAQ

  • How is a 360° photo tour different from regular photos?

    Regular photos show separate fragments and quickly get lost in chats. A 360° photo tour shows the whole room, provides transitions between points, and lets the team return to the object by link.
  • Does a photo tour replace measurements?

    No. A photo tour captures the visual condition of the object. Accurate dimensions, plans, DWG, BIM models, or point clouds require measurements or laser scanning.
  • Can the photo tour be combined with measurements?

    Yes. Often the photo tour is done in one visit with measurements or laser scanning, so the client receives both accurate data and a visual archive.
  • Where will the tour be hosted?

    The tour can be delivered as an archive, by link, or published in SPLINE360.SPACE. The format depends on the task, privacy requirements, and project scope.
  • Can access to the tour be restricted?

    Yes, the access format is agreed in advance. Materials can be shared by a closed link or in a private format suitable for the project.
  • Which objects are suitable for a 360° photo tour?

    Apartments, offices, restaurants, cafes, shops, commercial spaces, construction sites, pre-renovation spaces, network locations, and objects that need to be shown or handed over remotely.
  • What is needed for a quote?

    Address, area, object type, approximate number of rooms, and a floor plan if available. It also helps to specify whether you need only a photo tour or a package with measurements, scanning, DWG, or BIM.

Capture the object and share it with the team by link

Send the address, area, object type, and floor plan. We will suggest the capture format: 360° photo tour, photo capture, Matterport, SPLINE360.SPACE, or a package with measurements, scanning, DWG/BIM.
