Pre-Drywall Matterport Scanning
Capture what’s behind the walls before drywall—framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC routes, and rough-ins— in one interactive 3D record you can reference for years. Ideal for builders, remodels, and homeowners who want peace of mind.
Why pre-drywall scans are worth it
- Know what’s behind every wall: quickly locate plumbing, wiring, venting, and blocking later—without guessing.
- Save time during upgrades: faster planning for new lights, speakers, security, cabinetry, TV mounts, and built-ins.
- Reduce risk in remodels: minimize accidental cuts into lines and avoid “exploratory” drywall work.
- Verify rough-in work: keep a clear record of placement before it’s covered up.
- Document changes & add-ons: perfect when plans shift mid-build—your record stays accurate.
- Helpful for future owners: adds real value when selling, especially for custom homes.
What we capture
A pre-drywall scan is not just “photos.” It’s an interactive 3D walkthrough you can revisit room-by-room. We scan framing and rough-in stages so you can visually reference:
- Electrical: outlets, switches, panel routes, can lights, fan boxes, low-voltage, speaker wiring
- Plumbing: supply lines, drains, vent stacks, shower valves, cleanouts
- HVAC: duct paths, returns, vents, air handler placement, chases
- Structure: studs, beams, headers, trusses, shear walls, blocking, niches
- Special systems: security, data, home automation, camera wiring, central vac
Best times to scan
- After rough-ins: when plumbing/electrical/HVAC are installed and visible.
- Before insulation: clean sight lines and easy access.
- Before drywall: the final “everything is visible” moment.
Our cameras
We use the Matterport® Pro2—the gold standard for 3D capture—delivering excellent dimensional accuracy and image quality. Accurate within 1%.
For larger projects, complex spaces, and bright conditions, we also use the Matterport® Pro3 LiDAR camera, allowing both inside and outside scanning in bright sunlight—ideal for large properties up to 130,000 sq ft (and even larger).
What you get
You receive a shareable Matterport tour link that works on desktop and mobile. It becomes an “as-built reference” you can use during finishing, punch-list, warranty items, future renovations, or resale.
- 3D walkthrough of the pre-drywall stage
- Dollhouse + floor plan views for quick orientation
- Measurement tools inside the scan for planning
- Simple sharing with homeowners, builders, subs, or project managers
- Optional staging scans: scan again after completion for a “before/after” record
