What it doesCompares 360° site photos with the 3D model and schedule to report progress by trade, floor or system. This progress reporting service from Hexagon Multivista uses automated model-to-photo comparison of 360° photos against a federated 3D model (NWD) and a project schedule (P6 or Excel), marking model elements built or unbuilt and reporting progress by trade, floor, or system. Hexagon says its technology detects progress automatically and expert analysts QA every update. Its FAQ says building progress reporting requires an NWD model, a P6 or Excel schedule, and 360° photos from approved apps such as Multivista or Hexagon GoCapture; drone and SLR photos are not supported; setup can take up to 6-8 weeks; and reports are typically available 48-72 hours after images are posted. Lists compatibility with Autodesk ACC, Procore, Primavera P6, and Microsoft Project, and up to 10 years of data hosting. It sits in Hexagon Multivista's Analyze services alongside deviation analysis (which Hexagon describes as an AI-driven model-to-scan comparison) and UAV-based earthwork progress reporting. Separately, Hexagon announced on Oct 6, 2022 that it would integrate AVVIR's AI-powered technology into its construction portfolio; we did not find a Hexagon page naming AVVIR as the engine of this service. Re-read Oct 17, 2026: the same service page also advertises "agnostic data inputs" (360° photos, LiDAR scans or third-party tools, self-captured or Multivista-captured), which is broader than its FAQ; Hexagon's GoCapture app lets project teams self-capture 360° photos, 360° walks or 2D photos mapped to floor plans and BIM in its Analyze Hub. Re-checked Oct 19, 2026: the service page is unchanged in substance (NWD model, P6 or Excel schedule, approved 360° apps, drone and SLR photos not supported, setup up to 6-8 weeks, reports typically 48-72 hours after images are posted, email alerts when a report is ready); one FAQ answer on the same page says reports are usually ready within 48 hours, so confirm turnaround with Hexagon. The 2022 AVVIR press release was not re-read today (hexagon.com returned an access-denied response). Re-checked Oct 20, 2026: the service page is unchanged in substance (NWD model, P6 or Excel schedule, 360° photos captured by Multivista or the project team, approved apps only, drone and SLR photos not supported, reports by trade, floor or system, email alerts, up to 10 years of hosting, ACC, Procore, Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project compatibility). The FAQ still gives two turnaround answers (typically 48-72 hours, and usually within 48 hours) and two setup answers (up to 6-8 weeks, and up to eight weeks); confirm with Hexagon.Platform for capturing and sharing immersive 3D digital twins for design and construction, facilities, real estate and property marketing. Construction use includes Procore and Autodesk integrations; facilities management, corporate real estate and property marketing (3D tours, floor plans, photos) are also listed. Offers a free start tier and an online store. Re-checked Oct 19, 2026: the plans page (rendered in a headless browser) also lists AI-powered defurnishing of a property among Professional features, Cotality and Xactimate among file exports (additional charges apply), and, for Enterprise, audit logs, monthly usage reporting, full API and SDK access and Capture Services technicians in 700 cities worldwide. Re-checked Oct 20, 2026: homepage and plans page unchanged in substance; the Enterprise list names connected AECO workflows with Autodesk Forma and Procore, and the homepage carries a notice that Matterport customers can publish their 3D tours anywhere.
Who it's forGeneral contractors and owners; Hexagon also names project executives, quality teams, and schedulers.Design and construction teams, facility managers, corporate real estate, and property marketers.

Where the vendor descriptions differ

  • What you get: Hexagon's service marks model elements as built or unbuilt from 360° photos and reports progress by trade, floor or system in a cloud portal, with email alerts when a report is ready; Hexagon says its technology detects progress automatically and expert analysts QA every update. Matterport creates immersive 3D digital twins you can measure, tag and share, with auto-generated photo galleries, guided tours and file exports; its pages describe design and construction use as integrating with Procore and Autodesk to cut site visits and improve communication, not as schedule-based progress reporting.
  • Inputs: Hexagon's FAQ requires a federated 3D model in NWD format, a P6 or Excel schedule and 360° photos from approved apps such as Multivista or Hexagon GoCapture; drone and SLR photos are not supported (the same page also advertises agnostic inputs including LiDAR scans and third-party tools). Matterport captures with its own cameras and apps; its Pro3 Plus package bundles the Pro3 LiDAR camera with a Professional 50 plan.
  • Who does the work: Hexagon's photos are captured by Multivista or by your team following standardized workflows, setup can take up to 6-8 weeks, and reports are typically ready 48-72 hours after images are posted (another FAQ answer says usually within 48 hours). Matterport is self-serve with a Start Free option; its Enterprise plan adds access to Capture Services technicians in 700 cities.
  • Integrations and data: Hexagon lists compatibility with Autodesk ACC, Procore, Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project and up to 10 years of data hosting. Matterport's Enterprise plan lists connected AECO workflows with Autodesk Forma and Procore, full API and SDK access, audit logs and monthly usage reporting; Professional lists Floor Plan, CAD, BIM, E57, XYZ and OBJ exports at additional charge.
  • Where AI sits: Hexagon describes automated model-to-photo comparison checked by analysts. Matterport's plan page names AI-powered defurnishing of a property among Professional features; we did not find construction progress AI on the pages read.
  • Pricing (checked Oct 20, 2026): Hexagon publishes no prices (no pricing link; /pricing returns a not-found page; Book a demo or Contact us). Matterport publishes Professional plans by active spaces: 10 spaces $90/month on an annual plan ($1,080/year) or $108 month-to-month, up to 150 spaces at $585/month, 200+ through sales, with 10 users included; the Pro3 Plus package is $1,995 (marked down from $4,495) or $245/month for 24 months; Enterprise is custom.
  • Not used here: the customer testimonial dollar figure on Hexagon's page and customer quotes on either site. Neither tool has been tested by Means & Methods Lab.
