Case Study: Bromley Council’s Adoption of Matterport Virtual Tours with 360 View
Bromley Council approached 360 View for a comprehensive digital solution to enhance the functionality of their buildings. The objective was to create 3D digital twins of several complex structures using Matterport technology, serving two primary purposes: aiding staff navigation and assisting in building management.
Client Objectives
Bromley Council’s objectives were to:
- Create detailed 3D models of their buildings to assist staff in navigating complex structures featuring multiple entrances, exits, communal spaces, and connecting corridors.
- Utilize the 3D models for efficient building management, collaborating with contractors for maintenance, inventory management, and locating critical rooms like server and boiler rooms.
Our Approach
360 View’s strategy involved a meticulous and technology-driven process:
- Advanced Matterport Scanning: Utilizing the latest Matterport cameras and software, we conducted thorough scans of several buildings, capturing every detail from communal areas to crucial technical rooms.
- Comprehensive 3D Modeling: Each building was transformed into an accurate 3D digital twin, offering a realistic and interactive representation of the physical structure.
- User-Friendly Interface: The 3D models were designed to be easily navigable, ensuring staff and management could efficiently use them for various operational needs.
Results
- Enhanced Staff Navigation: The virtual tours significantly improved the way staff navigated through the complex buildings, reducing confusion and saving time.
- Streamlined Building Management: The 3D models provided an invaluable tool for building management, particularly for maintenance planning, contractor collaboration, and inventory tracking.
- Improved Operational Efficiency: With detailed insights into the layout and specifics of each area, the council could make more informed decisions, enhancing overall operational efficiency.
- Technological Innovation in Local Government: Bromley Council’s adoption of Matterport technology showcased their commitment to embracing innovative solutions for better service delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which web browsers are supported for virtual tours?
Modern virtual tours work on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. We ensure compatibility with current browser versions. Older browsers may have limited functionality.
What factors affect the price of a virtual tour?
Pricing depends on property size, number of rooms, complexity, location, and package type. Matterport scans, custom branding, and analytics features may increase cost. Get a custom quote from 360 View.
How does a virtual tour differ from video?
Videos show one fixed perspective. Virtual tours let customers explore at their own pace, moving through space freely. Tours also load faster, use less bandwidth, and provide better SEO for search engines.
Can I update the embedded tour without changing my website code?
Yes. The embedded code links to your live tour, so any updates or refreshes automatically display on your website. No re-coding needed—seamless maintenance.
What happens during an indoor Google Street View capture?
Our team photographs your space from multiple angles using 360 cameras, capturing each room and connecting area. We then process the images and publish them on Google Maps so customers can explore your property virtually before visiting.
