Virtual Tours for Councils and Public Sector Buildings
Help visitors prepare for a visit and give your teams a clearer view of the buildings they manage. We create virtual tours around the people who will use them, from public library visitors to estates teams planning across several sites.
Our work includes Bromley Council and Bethnal Green Library, with capture planned around access, privacy and daily operations.
Make Your Buildings Easier to Understand
Help visitors know what to expect
Show the entrance, reception and public facilities before someone arrives. A virtual tour can answer practical questions about an unfamiliar building.
Give teams a shared visual reference
Explore rooms and routes together when discussing office moves, maintenance or contractor access, with a clear view of the space under discussion.
Plan across connected buildings
Help staff understand how floors, entrances and neighbouring buildings relate to one another. Larger sites need navigation planned around the whole journey.
Show the right spaces to the right people
Agree what belongs in a public tour and what is intended for internal use. Coverage and sharing arrangements should follow the purpose of the project.
Choose the Capture That Fits Your Project
Start with what people need to see or do. We can recommend a focused service or combine capture methods where your project needs both public information and internal planning.
Show Public Spaces on Google Maps
Let visitors explore entrances, reception areas and community facilities through Google Maps Virtual Tours.
For larger sites, Google Street View Mapping can show outdoor approaches and connections. We agree the public coverage before capture.
Explore Buildings with Matterport
Give staff and contractors an interactive view of layouts for familiarisation, planning and project discussions. Separate models can be linked across buildings.
Our Matterport Virtual Tours service page explains the options and current capture prices.
Capture Data for Design and Refurbishment
When your design team needs building geometry, Point Cloud Scanning can provide spatial data for the agreed project.
We discuss coverage, accuracy requirements and output formats before capture, so the brief reflects how the data will be used.
Help People Follow the Right Route
Immersive Wayfinding helps people preview routes through an unfamiliar site.
Where visitors need additional explanations or a tailored presentation, we can discuss a Bespoke Virtual Tour around the intended journey.

Complex Buildings Need a Practical Capture Plan
Start with the finished purpose
We establish who will use the tour and what matters to them. That guides the spaces, viewpoints and connections we capture.
Work around your operations
We can scan available areas while others remain occupied, arrange return visits, or work before opening, after closing, at night or at weekends.
Agree access before we arrive
With the agreed spaces accessible, our technicians can work independently. We keep a nominated contact for questions and follow your escort requirements in restricted areas.
Check the experience before delivery
We review presentation, navigation and connections against the brief, then help you use and share the finished tours. Future changes can be discussed when your buildings evolve.
Public Sector Experience You Can Explore
Bromley Council: connected buildings, coordinated capture
We created linked Matterport tours across several Bromley Council buildings, including one with more than ten floors. Capture moved between available spaces around office activity, with return visits to complete the work. The models remain private.

Bethnal Green Library: a public tour before the visit
Our Google Street View tour lets people explore Bethnal Green Library online. It provides a public example of how a virtual tour can introduce a community building and its spaces.

Questions About Public Sector Virtual Tours
Practical answers for estates, facilities and public service teams.
Can a council Matterport tour remain private?
Yes. Matterport capture can be planned for internal use, as with our Bromley Council project. We discuss your users and information requirements before confirming the sharing arrangements.
Can you scan public buildings outside opening hours?
Yes. We can arrange capture early, late, at night or at weekends. The schedule follows building access and the activities that need to continue.
Does our staff need to accompany the virtual tour technician?
Usually, no. With the scope agreed and spaces accessible, our technicians work independently. We need a contact for occasional questions and an escort wherever your policy requires one.
How much does a public sector virtual tour cost?
The cost depends on coverage, access and deliverables. Current example prices are on our service pages. Quoted prices include travel and capture expenses, with hosting and any additional requirements set out in the agreed scope.
Can a virtual tour show accessible entrances and routes?
Yes. Agreed coverage can show entrances, lifts and visitor facilities. The tour should accompany your written access information so visitors can check details relevant to their needs.
Can you meet our council’s IT and information handling requirements?
Share those requirements before commissioning capture. We assess the proposed platform, hosting and delivery options with your team and confirm what can be provided.
