WGAN-TV Podcast: Introduction to SIMLAB Stages + Matterport for AEC Design and Build Communications

Hi All,

[WGAN-TV Podcast and WGAN Forum Podcast above ...]

1. Do you use Matterport from the architectural design through construction phases of buildings?
2. Do you want to save money and time while improving team communication at all stages of design/build?
3. Would your AEC team benefit from comparing BIM to Matterport at various stages of construction?


On WGAN-TV Live at 5 on Thursday, 19 May 2022, my guest will be SIMLAB Founder and CEO Marek Koźlak, PhD Eng. (@SIMLAB) whom will provide:

✓ WGAN-TV Podcast: Introduction to SIMLAB STAGES + Matterport for AEC Design and Build Communications[/b]

Marek will demo and discuss:

1. [b]SIMLAB STAGES enables easy Matterport digital twin annotation with:

1A. text
1B. audio (including recording audio)
1C. video
1D. photos
2E. Documents
2F. Draw (such as circle an item to call attention to it)

... through the architectural design stage and construction phases of buildings.

2. AEC teams communicate efficiently and effectively at every project stage, resulting in saving of money and time. Inspect construction sites overtime with less travel and fewer construction errors.

2A. Categories include: Info, pending, resolved, unresolved and in-progress
2B. How to assign stakeholders, how to add STAGES and how to align and sync Matterport digital twins to create a timeline

3. SIMLAB STAGES IoT integration of Matterport spaces enables real-time daily updates from the project site into Matterport digital twins allowing stakeholders to view and collaborate on a project at different points in time; leveraging the SIMLAB STAGES compare BIM to Matterport digital twins timeline feature.

4. Supported formats include: Matterport, BIM, IFC, FBX

5. Standalone App for Windows and macOS

In the mean time, see the SIMLAB training videos above.

What questions should I ask Marek on WGAN-TV Live at 5?

Best,

Dan

About SIMLAB STAGES (Info provided by SIMLAB)

STAGES is a construction monitoring solution combined with a cross-sector communication platform that allows easy free viewing and comparison of sequential scans.

A single platform to host multiple types of building representations including scan, CAD, and BIM to transparently compare at any point in time are helpful as a permanent record of foundation placement, framing completion, mechanical installation, pre-drywall, and owner turnover.

An entire team is able to remotely monitor progress from anywhere.

STAGES gives everyone tools to post an issue, add audio, brush and picture notes, and resolve the issue. The complete history is saved within STAGES.

This allows variances from plan to field to be controlled, tracked and resolved. Regardless of a newly constructed facility or renovation, the stored views are permanently available for reference.

STAGES allows to:

• 2D PDF and CAD plans, and/or 3D BIM model to be viewed simultaneously with any scan stage.
• easily combine and overlay IFC, BIM models, Matterport Scans, OBJ, PDF blueprints, and FBX scans into a single viewer.
• step through the timeline to explore the building from any viewpoint. Easily validate property condition at any point in time.

ABOUT SIMLAB (Info provided by SIMLAB)

SIMLAB is a technology company focused on facility digitalization. We develop software apps for home and building owners, to be used by operators and occupants of houses, offices, factories, hospitals, hotels, and multi-family residential buildings.

SIMLAB apps turn personal living spaces and working environments into multimedia digital command centers, accessible by computer, tablet, and smartphone.

We empower users with interactive and intelligent digital twins of their structures, leveraging a combination of 3D models of the property, real-time data from sensors, and user-defined asset information.

SIMLAB apps allow a way to track changes in a structure. Supervise any project, maintenance, and renovation progress as well as monitor facility aging.

We provide easy and intuitive digital solutions for the full life cycle of the building.

Matterport Announces Investment in Digitization Tech Company SIMLAB to Accelerate Building Design, Construction and Management
Strategic investment amplifies Matterport's platform for third party integrations and add-ons with integrations for BIM and smart home IoT technologies

SUNNYVALE, Calif. and GLIWICE, Poland, July 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Matterport, Inc. (NASDAQ: MTTR), the leading spatial data company driving the digital transformation of the built world, today announced its strategic partnership and investment in SIMLAB, a technology company that specializes in the digitization of buildings throughout the design and construction phases and the development of software toolkits to help architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) teams communicate more efficiently and effectively at every project stage.

Using the Matterport platform, the company creates products and features that integrate Matterport digital twins with Building Information Modeling (BIM) and smart home IoT technologies. The partnership is intended to fuel the development of new integrations and innovative products to meet the needs of AEC customers.

"Our partnership with SIMLAB further cements Matterport as the spatial data platform of choice for the AEC industry," said RJ Pittman, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Matterport. "As a publicly-traded company we intend to further accelerate our growth by continuing to pursue strategic investments in partners like SIMLAB. Additionally, this is a clear example of our rapidly expanding developer ecosystem that aims to deliver best in-class industry solutions through a robust library of third-party add-ons and integrations from some of the most innovative companies spanning many important industries across the built world. Together with SIMLAB, we're excited to accelerate innovation and bring new tools to the industry worldwide."

"The Matterport platform is a game-changer for the global construction industry by making it easy to digitize buildings at any stage of development," said Marek Kozlak, founder and CEO of SIMLAB. "Matterport has opened up their spatial data platform to enable companies like SIMLAB to extend the power of the digital twin with new tools that automate construction documentation and project workflows. Matterport's investment will accelerate our technology development and growth plans. We are excited to collaborate on the future of spatial computing and the built world for our customers all over the world."

Matterport enables customers to capture a space with any supported camera, including the iPhone. Once captured, Matterport automatically creates a dimensionally accurate, photorealistic digital twin. With SIMLAB STAGES, project stakeholders gain access to new functionality to more precisely track and view progress at all stages of construction from foundations to framing to mechanical-electrical-plumbing (MEP) to sheetrock and finishes. Inspections at construction sites can be done remotely and teams can collaborate with multi-user support, eliminating costly and time-consuming travel to job sites and speeding project execution timelines.

Nohara Holdings, one of Japan's most respected construction resource specialists, and Misawa, one of the country's top construction companies, used SIMLAB STAGES and Matterport digital twins on a recent project to build model houses. Travel time to the sites was cut by 50 percent, netting considerable cost savings. Another joint project is a large-scale hospital modernization in Tokyo that involves capturing digital twins for each floor every month. Project team members integrate data from sensors within the hospital into the Matterport digital twins to get real-time daily updates on the project site without needing to take more captures. With a construction management platform like SIMLAB STAGES, digital twins can be overlaid with BIM and engineering data to let hospital leadership view specific points before, during, and after the renovation without traveling to the site.
