Hi All,

If you use a laser measurer, which one and why do you use it?

Thanks,

Dan

Yes of course!

Floorplans have never been easier.

Leica Disto D2 is probably the best if not a bit pricey.

I use a Leica Disto D210 - Easy and reliable.

I just bought a Bosch GLM 50c this weekend at a pawn shop for $60. The floor plan offering for Matterport in my advertising has confused some agents.

I tested out the Free App from Bosch this weekend and found the floor plan make a bit detailed on measuring each wall.

Is anyone using a laser measure tool and floor plan program?

I believe a tool like this can help our confidence as we advertise a little more about floor plans with Matterport. Also have this offering as another up sell with our still photography shoots and quell any confusion saying we offer floor plans.

Since you can get 2D floor plans created from the Matterport Spaces 3D Tour, why are you using a laser measurer? Can you share an example of the end result?

@VTLV

Can you share an example of what you get using Bosch App + Bosch GLM 50c and why you like the output better than what you were previously doing? (Examples?)

Thanks,

Dan

I'll have to get back to you on that one Dan, there's pictures I took, kids are in some, house was a mess. I don't want to share that online.

I'll run another test in a cleaned up environment and share that some time in the future.

Hi Dan

I use an external floor plan creator as it is cheaper and easier. I think from memory in UK it is £16 per floor plan with Matterport.

I use a programme called ZPlan which allows me to create 2d/3d floorplans (their version of 3D) FOR £15 pm and do as many as i like.

It takes me less than 10 minutes to measure a property (been doing it for so many years).

In the UK margins are tight so a little extra effort to save a decent chunk of money is worth it.

All UK agents measure their own properties.

Thank you. Got a link for ZPlan? When I look it up, I get a Pop Band website

FYI - Largest floor plan supplier in UK is metropix

Zplan is probably better (and cheaper) once you get the hang of it.
