Free 3D scanning with every estimate.
Every CDG estimate includes a Matterport scan of your space — a navigable 3D model you keep. No charge, no obligation.
Model delivered within 24 hours of scan · Link is permanent
Scan during the estimate. Model in 24 hours.
No extra appointment. No additional cost. The scan happens while we’re already walking the space for the estimate.
We scan during the estimate
When CDG visits your property for the project estimate, we bring the Matterport Pro camera. The scan takes 15–45 minutes depending on space size and is non-invasive — no equipment is left behind.
Model processed in 24 hours
Matterport’s cloud platform stitches the scan data into a fully navigable 3D model. Processing takes up to 24 hours. You receive a shareable link via email once the model is ready — no account or app required to view it.
Shareable link sent to you
The model link is permanent. Share it with your architect, interior designer, insurance adjuster, or family members reviewing the project remotely. The model includes floor plan view, measurement tools, and full dollhouse perspective.
A 3D model changes how renovation projects get planned.
Most renovation estimates are based on a contractor’s notes and a tape measure. When a third party — an architect, a structural engineer, an insurance adjuster, or a remote spouse — needs to understand the space, they’re working from photos and descriptions. A Matterport model lets anyone walk the space virtually, measure distances accurate to within 1%, and see relationships between rooms that flat photos miss entirely. For insurance claims, a Matterport scan is increasingly accepted as primary documentation of pre-loss or post-loss conditions — something that would otherwise require a second site visit weeks after the event.
For renovation planning, the model serves a different purpose: it becomes the shared reference that keeps contractors, designers, and homeowners looking at the same space. Change orders and misunderstandings that stem from “I thought the ceiling was higher” or “I didn’t realize the window was that close to the corner” get caught in the model, not during framing. CDG includes the scan because it makes our estimates more accurate and our projects run cleaner — the benefit to you is a permanent record of your space that you can use however you need.

When we scan and what we capture.
Residential estimate scan
Every residential estimate — basement, addition, restoration — includes a full Matterport scan of the project space. Delivered within 24 hours of the estimate visit. No extra steps, no extra cost.
Pre-renovation documentation
A before-scan of the space prior to demolition. Useful for insurance, permit documentation, or design reference. Captures the existing conditions with spatial accuracy that photos alone can’t provide.
Commercial space documentation
Office suites, retail spaces, and multi-room commercial properties scanned for lease documentation, renovation planning, or insurance purposes. Contact us for commercial scan pricing and scheduling.
Questions about the Matterport scan.
What exactly is a Matterport 3D scan?
Matterport is a 3D scanning system that uses infrared depth sensors to capture a space and build a navigable digital model. Unlike a 360-degree photo, a Matterport model is a true 3D reconstruction — you can walk through it in first person, view it as a dollhouse from above, look at the floor plan, and measure distances anywhere in the model. The camera is mounted on a tripod and repositioned every 8–10 feet to capture full coverage. No app is required to view the finished model — it runs in any web browser.
How accurate is the scan for measurements?
Matterport scans are accurate to within approximately 1% for linear measurements. In practical terms, a 20-foot room will measure between 19.8 and 20.2 feet in the model. The floor plan view includes labeled dimensions that you can reference during design planning. The scan is accurate enough for estimating, permit drawing preparation, and design coordination — though it is not a substitute for a licensed survey when legal boundary accuracy is required.
Who owns the model and how long does the link last?
You do. CDG shares a permanent link to your model within 24 hours of the scan. The model is hosted on Matterport’s platform, which has been operating since 2011 and hosts hundreds of millions of models. The shareable link works without a login — anyone you send it to can view the full model in a browser. You can share it with architects, designers, insurance adjusters, or family members involved in the project decision. CDG retains a copy of the model in our project file for reference during the work.
How homeowners have used their scans.
“My wife is in another state during the renovation. She walks through the 3D model every week to follow along. We both know exactly what the space looks like without her flying in.”
“Our insurance adjuster asked for pre-loss documentation after a pipe burst. We had the Matterport scan from the estimate and it was exactly what they needed. Saved a second site visit.”
“I sent the link to our interior designer in Brooklyn. She measured the basement from her laptop and had a furniture plan ready before CDG broke ground. Really useful.”
