Matterport Services in Katy, TX
We Offer Matterport Service Throughout Southeast Texas
Matterport is a platform that specializes in creating interactive, immersive 3D virtual tours and digital twins of physical spaces.
AQ Testing uses the Matterport Pro3 camera and proprietary software to capture, process, and share accurate, photorealistic representations of spaces for various industries, including but not limited to litigation, real estate, architecture, construction, engineering and insurance.
How Does a Matterport Work?
Our technician will use the latest and most advanced 3D camera to capture a space. The technician moves around the commercial, residential or outdoor space taking multiple scans that are then stitched together to create a 3D model. The scanning process involves placing the camera in various positions, taking scans, and ensuring enough overlap between scans for proper alignment.

When Is a Matterport Beneficial?
Litigation
If you are actively pursuing litigation or are currently in litigation, Matterport is an essential tool to map the property. Matterport’s virtual representations can provide accurate measurements for all experts involved in the case, assist a mold assessment consultant when preparing a mold remediation protocol, assist experts when preparing damage models and estimates, and, if mold testing is performed, tag locations where elevated levels of mold are found.
If a property has construction defects or has experienced any other types of damage, this tool allows everyone involved, including but not limited to attorneys, mediators, judges, arbitrators and a jury, to virtually visit the property. It provides a great visual aid for everyone to see the damages and notes about what the experts document.
Architecture, Engineering, & Construction
Matterport allows you to create detailed 3D models of existing building for design projects, remodeling, and construction. Matterport scans can be used to create Building Information Modeling (BIM), facilitating collaboration and communication between stakeholders. With Matterport, you can track construction progress over time using 3D models, allowing for better communication and project management.
Insurance and Restoration
Insurance adjusters can use Matterport scans to remotely assess damage and conduct claims. It creates detailed documentation of property damage for insurance claims.
Real Estate
Matterport creates interactive virtual tours that allow potential buyers to explore a property remotely, increasing engagement and saving time and resources. These tours can be used to showcase properties on websites, social media, and other platforms, making them more appealing to potential buyers. Virtual tours can help real estate agents with listings and sell properties faster and at higher prices.
Travel & Hospitality
Matterport allows you to offer virtual tours of rooms, suites, and amenities to entice potential guests. The tool allows guests to explore hotels and resorts before their visit, providing a sense of the property and facilities.
Public Spaces
Make historical sites, museums, and other public spaces accessible to a wider audience through virtual tours from Matterport. With the tool, you can create virtual field trips and educational resources for students and the public.
How Long Do We Keep a Matterport Link Active?
We typically keep a Matterport link active for up to a year. If the space is required or requested to be used for a longer period of time, we can provide this for a separate fee or we can transfer the space to your own account.

How effective are do-it-yourself mold test kits?
They are highly ineffective and often times handled by a low cost high volume laboratory. If you feel you have a mold situation you should contract with a reputable firm such as AQ Testing Services to accurately diagnose any moisture problems and assess for mold with the backing of a reputable lab.
Our highly trained technicians will conduct a pre-assessment interview, and custom tailor our testing to suit each individual need. Once your property has been tested, our staff will overnight your collection of tests to the laboratory to help ensure a quick turnaround. In most cases our clients see a 48-hour turnaround. Once AQ Testing Services receives your test results, we prepare a custom report that is both accurate and easy to read.
Moisture is known to be the single greatest threat to the durability and long term performance of housing structures. Excessive exposure to moisture is a common cause of significant damage to many building components and materials. It can also lead to unhealthy indoor living environments. There is agreement by building professionals that the successful management of moisture, in its various forms, is vital for houses to be safe, durable and energy efficient. At AQ Testing Services we have the latest technology to diagnose water issues, assess the indoor environment and put the control back in the homeowners’ hands regarding longevity and the health of their biggest investment.

How can I prevent mold growth?To prevent the growth or spread of mold you must first control their factors of existence. Since we build houses that are veritable smorgasbords to fungi and our climate is mostly warm and humid, we must be able to control the amount of moisture present. By eliminating water intrusion problems and responding timely to “water events” you can greatly reduce the chance for further growth.
According to the CDC “Exposure to materials and structures contaminated with mold should be assumed to present potential health risks regardless of the type of mold. Risk for illness does not necessarily vary with the type of mold or the extent of contamination.”
