Recommended Tools & Resources

Linking our workflow to the tools behind it

Hardware, software and references our CAD, BIM and VR work runs on. Each pick is something we use on real projects, listed with what it does well and where it fits.

VR & Visualization Gear

vr-head-sets-recommended-products

VR Headsets

Standalone headsets for reviewing 3DVista and Matterport tours at full scale. Pick one whose browser handles WebXR, so a client tour opens without an app. Links go to Amazon listings.

360-cameras-recommended-products

360 Cameras

360 cameras for photo tours and progress records where a Matterport capture is more than the job needs. Resolution and stitching quality decide how the finished tour reads. Links go to Amazon listings.

Essential CAD & BIM Tools

Productivity & AI Tools

Noise-canceling headphones for modeling in a shared office or reviewing point clouds on a job site. Links go to Amazon listings.

DIY Builder Resources

Field and Studio Tools
