A year ago, Hollister Construction Services invested in Matterport’s Pro Camera, technology created by Matterport, an immersive media technology company. This powerful tool produces 3D models of our construction projects by scanning and capturing them before, during and at completion. The models provide a realistic navigable platform to assist during the construction phase, allowing the project team to instantly assess a project’s status and keep track of key project milestones. The models also provide a new level of marketing capabilities to the client by enabling them to use this tool and feature their properties in the most realistic, immersive way. What started as an in-house tool has now become a paid service we provide to our clients. We are able to capture hundreds of thousands of s/f for their own marketing and documentation needs. Hollister has produced 3D models for many clients in the corporate, educational, healthcare, industrial, residential and retail verticals.

Christopher Johnson is the CEO and founder of Hollister Construction Services, LLC.
