Network Evening

We are please to announce that we will be holding a networking evening on the  18th March 2020

We find that we have a lot of our customers ask us, do we know anyone that can help with

Fire Services, Mechanical & Electrical, Small Power & Lighting, Audio Visual, Structured Cabling, Drainage,

HVAC, Hot & Cold Water, the list goes on, so we decided it would be a good idea to bring our existing

customers together to meet and swap business cards over a beer and Pizza.

So looking forward to touching base with them all

Virtual Tours and 3D Walkthroughs

Announcing our new 360 degree 4K virtual site tour service

VMR Draughting Services are please to announce our new interactive 3D virtual tours. We have invested in the latest technology with the 3D camera from Matterport which gives us the ability to scan the inside of any type of building from top to bottom, creating  a  360 degree virtual walkthrough in stunning 4K. The walkthrough is so realistic and clear that you feel like you are actually on site, you even have the ability to zoom in and out with a scroll of your mouse wheel.

An added bonus is that you can even take accurate measurements within the software simply by using the ruler function built into the software. But it doesn’t stop there, from the virtual tour we are able to automatically create accurate 2 D floor plans from within the virtual site tour software, saving time and money spend on site surveying with tape measure and pencil.

A lot of our existing customers are finding it extremely useful for their mechanical and electrical drawing floor plans,  and with the added bonus of the 3d walkthrough, from which they can use from the comfort of their office instead of having to go back and fourth to site .

It must cost a fortune you might ask, well actually its a lot cheaper than you think, give us a call for a quote. 

Virtual tour

Virtual Walkthrough in Essex

This is a virtual walkthrough in Essex that we did recently for a mechanical and electrical company, who will be doing the refit on the building. As you can see with the Matterport dolls house it is easy to rotate, zoom in and out and manipulate as needed. And of course you can zoom right in and walk through the building as if you were on site( video of the actual walkthrough not uploaded)

From these Matterport virtual walkthroughs we are able to create accurate 2D floor plans.

Converting Virtual Walkthroughs to CAD

We are getting lots of our existing customers and new customers starting to use our virtual walkthrough service to generate 2D CAD floor plans. If you need a building surveyed for 2D floor plans, we can use our Matterport camera to digitally survey any building and create a 360 degree virtual tours to CAD floor plans.

No matter what industry you are in, be it M&E, HVAC, AV (AUDIO Visual), Real Estate, Fire Protection to mention a few. We can produce accurate floor plans and provide you with an amazing virtual walkthrough of the surveyed building.

Virtual walkthroughs are great for documenting AS Built projects or even just taking stock of the services,  the clarity is so good ( 4K ) that you can zoom right up on plug sockets, PIR Sensors Etc..

Below is a floor plan created from one of the walkthroughs and the actual walkthrough.

Kingston virtual site survey

Another successful virtual site survey

3D Walkthrough for Knights Frank in London Kingston

Another great virtual walkthrough completed, this one was done in Kingston London.The building consisted of 3 floors and a basement, it was very tight in some places but not a problem for the Matterport camera, even on the narrow stairs the 3d camera handled it like a dream!

Some of the rooms were quite dark but again the 360 degree camera adjusted and the virtual site survey came out brilliant. A big advantage is that we can convert the digital site tour into CAD DWG files and produce accurate floor plans so saves a lot of time on site.
